    I am so happy to see so many people join the challenge. I am very excited to kick June's butt with each of you. To keep things going in our weight challenge group I am going to do a sort of challenge where each day I will post a question and you all give your answer. We might just learn new things about each other. It's 30 questions and starts tomorrow. You don't have to participate if you don't want. It's just to make this a bit fun. Stay tuned!

    Hello everyone, Happy Hump Day!

    Welcome to a new month. I hope you are all as excited as I am for it.

    As I mentioned in my previous post I found an activity we could all do together. Its a sort of challenge/questionnaire to keep conversation going on in our group. You can answer in detail, or give 1 word answers or not answer at all its up to you. But wouldn't it be much more fun if we all participated?

    So here is the first challenge:

    Give us 10 facts about yourself. ;)

    10 facts about me:

    1. I hate the beach. Sand is the worst thing ever lol
    2. I love gardening. Currently working on my veggie garden so I can have fresh veggies this summer.
    3. I play the guitar.
    4. I love to sing Karaoke.
    5. I am extremely allergic to cats which sucks cause I love cats.
    6. My kryptonite are Doritos and Tacos.
    7. I hate being touched by strangers or for people to invade my personal space.
    8. I believe the zombie apocalypse will happen one day. (be ready)
    9. I love horror movies.
    10. I love a good tv series. At the moment Game of Thrones, the Walking Dead, and Penny Dreadful. Ive been known to watch stuff like Greys Anatomy as well.

    I got over one of my struggles today! Went and took a 30 min walk alone! My husband is out of town, so that was pretty hard for me. He is motivating me, and keeps me from being so self conscious while out there. I'm just hoping I can keep it up!!!

    10 Facts About Me:
    1. I am a Bible believing Christian.
    2. I LOVE the beach (but I would agree that sand is quite annoying) - though the white sand on the west coast of FL beaches is quite beautiful.
    3. I enjoy stand up paddleboarding, and I race at an amateur level.
    4. I probably have an online non-violent gaming addiction (currently Bush Whacker 2 is my game of choice, though I'm also an alpha tester for Eleven Giants (Glitch re-make)).
    5. I have three cats.
    6. I tend to write tomes when I post.
    7. I sometimes have a problem with not eating enough - tracking calories has helped me with this.
    8. I can be rather lazy and just do not much of anything some days.
    9. I do love my sleep...naps are awesome!
    10. Peri-menopausal hormones are currently kicking my butt making it challenging to stay on track with eating and exercising properly.

    Good job getting out there. I know how you feel. I live in France and they have yet to go through the obesity epidemic here so I really stand out. But I get out there and get moving because in the end I am doing this for me not them. Congratulations getting out there and surpassing your fears. Keep it up!
