    How many 5% Challenges have you done? Gosh, I really wish I would have counted ... but if Lynn (kaliswalker) has done 57, this would be approx. 53-54 for me. I love the Challenges; especially the friendships that I have made.

    What do you like to do for fun? I love to act/sing ~ so whenever I get the opportunity to do so, I join local theatre groups and get involved. I especially like doing this type of thing with my DD.

    What major city do you live in or near? State? I live in NJ ~ approx. mid state ... in the western part of the state: Hunterdon County. I'm very close to the PA border.

    What are you health/fitness goals for this season? I made a bit of progress in the 2023 Summer 5% Challenge. The scale was either 'stuck' or moved in the 'wrong direction' for quite awhile but I think I'm back!! My overall goal is not all that crazy ~ to shed the extra (approx. 20-25 lbs. overall) and to be healthy and to be the best 'me' that I can be.

    How would your pet or friend describe you? Raven, our dog - would say that she is my buddy. When I'm in the house, it is like we are attached at the hip. When I'm not home, she is happy being with my husband, but prefers to be with me as soon as she hears me driving up the road and/or walking in the door.

    What is the last thing you finished? Give it a name if you can. I used to crochet when I was younger. I hadn't picked up a crochet hook in Y-E-A-R-S, but came across my grandmothers crochet hook set. My father passed last August and in his memory ~ for his birthday month (March), I crocheted a blanket for my mother in the colors of the German flag. They both came to the US from Germany in the 50's and met here in one of the German Clubs. Since then, I've made a scarf (Christmas present) for my husband in the colors of the Italian Flag and this week I made a pet bed for my DD's cat (I gave it to her last night).

    This is the 2nd crochet project that I made this year ... the scarf for my husband which will be a Christmas Gift for him this year. . .
    8mdhggghs90o.png
    Above is the 3rd crochet project I tried: a pet bed that I made for DD's cat, Kyra.

    Finally, the above a 2 pics of my DD's cat 'relaxing' in her new crocheted bed. . .

    What is your favorite TV show? Right now, it has to be 'Outlander' on STARZ. I also do love watching HSN & QVC and the Food Network. Older TV shows that I still will catch every now & again: I Love Lucy, Mayberry RFD, M*A*S*H, stuff like that. I like a lot of the Star Trek series (all of the various versions, but the original is probably still my favorite). I enjoy some reality shows. Before things got too political, I would look forward to the award shows: Oscars, Emmys, Tonys, etc. My husband likes to watch old movies which I also enjoy (especially musicals!).

    2 fun things about you? I'm a wife and mother. Besides my love of music/theatre, I volunteer near my home and I'm one of the founding members of our local Women's Club.

    Anything else you would like to share? I'm REALLY looking forward to the 2023 Fall 5% Challenge and will be trying very hard to keep an eye on my goal(s) so that I can achieve them. I am one of the Overall Leaders of the 5% Challenges. You will see me as part of the Community Team and the Leader Team as well as one of the 'Extra Leaders' of the Red Hots Team. I've been involved with the Challenges for many years and was one of the leaders that was instrumental in bringing the Challenges from SparkPeople to MyFitnessPal when SparkPeople 'went dark'. If I can provide assistance in any way, please don't hesitate to contact me. Wishing ALL the best of luck for a WONDERFUL Fall 5% Challenge!!
