    OK, for the challenge (better get it in before another one come along :-):

    I live in a small, rural area and we don't have a Farmer's Market and none of the locals are selling yet, but I did get a Bountiful Basket with some great veggies and fruit in it this time!

    5 fitness goals:
    Run a 5K with my son (he has just started running with me)
    Increase all weight lifting machines in the circuit by 1 level
    Start and FINISH P90 (the original...my sister gave me her old DVD's)
    Add "extra activity" with the kids at least 2 days per week (hiking, swimming, playing ball, etc). This needs to be a family lifestyle!
    Get a bike AND ride it at least 2 times per week!

    love them charice! you are a rockstar!
