    Forgot to introduce myself...I am Heather. I am married, have two teenagers and work full time. I have been in the challenge since last November or December (I think). My journey has been slow and steady. I keep reminding myself it is a marathon not a sprint. I love to walk to clear my mind. The last couple of years have been challenging for me emotionally with my mother being sick and then ultimately losing her. I had spent so much time caring for her, I let my own needs take a back seat and ate my stress away. The last year has helped me get back on track and this group has helped keep me accountable. The last month has been especially great. I need to be more active on here because I know how helpful the support is. Hopefully TBBT has a great October. Good luck team!

    Tracked: yes
    Under: yes
    Exercise: yes
    Steps: 11,088 currently
    Water: 112.6oz

    Food Colors:
    Red-Strawberries and grapes, red leaf lettuce, red onion(purple/red... I don't know)
    Yellow- banana
    Orange -carrot
    Green-lettuce

    This is random, but on Friday at my work picnic I had fruit salad, and it had dragon fruit. I wasn't terribly thrilled with it because the texture was weird and it had almost no flavor... I can gladly say it is something "exotic" that I will never go out of my way for haha.

    I finally got the puppy to the dog park today. The one closest to me is completely wooded, and he loved it! There was only one other dog there and Dillon loved running around with him! It was a nice short hike through the woods to get there, and some trails in the fenced in park! The woman with the other dog was telling me about some dog friendly hiking trails near me, and now I have some places to check out!

    @cmhubbard92
    I've been curious about the dragon fruit. That sucks that it was a disappointment.

    The puppy is super cute and I'm glad that puppy park worked out and he had fun.

    @brandi_84 I know! I was looking forward to it!

    Thank you! Dillon is such a sweetheart!

    Do you want me to add you to the water challenge?

    @cmhubbard92
    Yes, please. I will probably fail the crap out of it but I'm doing my best to get the water in. Hopefully by the end of the week I'll get up to the minimum and start next week off better.

    @erikNJ Great news about your wife!

    My son's wedding was on the weekend. Great time but struggling to get back on track now. My weight is up (not unexpectedly) but at least I'm wearing my fitbit all day to get in my steps.

    Food yesterday
    Orange: sweet potatoes
    Red: tomatoes
    Blue: plums

    Tracked, at, lots of walking today with 10 minute of Tae-bo. My great news: no alcohol and I ate 2 salads today, which left me space for m&ms ;) My uhhhh news: why did the face of my fitbit watch not only fall on the floor, but I stepped on it. Le sigh. Thinking of replacing it as it's so cracked but might just let it go, as while I enjoy it, I hate wearing it 5-6 days a week consistently. We'll see. I kept the same motivation though for walking today even though there was no fitbit tracking.

    @cmhubbard92 : happy early Birthday!

    Food:
    Red: strawberry, red onion
    Yellow: tomatoes
    Green: spinach, peppers, and cucumbers
    Orange: carrots and tangerine

    @ForLangston Thank you!
    That is terribly unfortunate with the Fitbit! I personally would get it fixed or a new one, but that's just me!

    @mirendybryant You have my sympathy for your loss. It is never easy to lose someone even if it’s expected. You’re in my thoughts and prayers.

    @Calli1616 Could you please explain “Zuzka Light Bunny Slope w/o 3”? Sounds very interesting and confusing :D
