    How did you learn about the 5% Challenges?
    Popular groups on MFP

    How many 5% Challenges have you done?
    This is my first

    What do you like to do for fun?
    I like to read mostly! I also love to design floor plans and closet organization just for fun. I never get anywhere with them, not really. More like a "if I had all the money, I would do this to our house!" kind of hobby.

    What major city do you live in or near? State? Tell us a bit about where you live.
    I live in central Canada, in Winnipeg. I don't know why I live somewhere so wintery when I don't like winter. Or somewhere with such hot summers when I don't like to be hot haha. Probanly since it's one of the most affordable/stable places to live in Canada. It's not a huge city, I think just under 1M people.

    Do you have a pet?
    No pets

    What are your health/fitness goals for this season?
    Get half way to goal weight, I'd love to see some movement out of my belly and chest but it seems to all be coming from my butt lol

    How would your pet or friend describe you?
    Introverted/private, a bit all or nothing in how I do things.

    What is the last thing you finished? Give it a name if you can.
    I finished my walk in closet renovation that I had on the go unnecessarily for about a year haha.

    What is your favorite TV show?
    I'm not really a favourites type but I rewatch Brooklyn 99 a lot.

    What are your favorite fall activities?
    Going to the corn maze, for walks in comfortable weather.

    What is your favorite type of exercise?
    Walking, Zumba, weight lifting IF I have access

    Would you rather exercise, wash a car, or clean the house?
    Clean the house

    What always cheers you up?
    Sushi

    2 fun things about you?
    I have 5 kids between ages 7 and 8 months old. The 8m olds are twins. Is that two?

    Do you have a diet or fitness tip to share?
    3 day salads. When cooking consistently gets hard, make a massive no-leaf salad that you can pull out and eat with every meal for 3 days. Then make a different one for the next 3 days. It helps with getting your veggies and fibre in when you aren't all that motivated or enthusiastic about cooking (or are short on sleep or time). If you get sick of it, you can sometimes turn it into roasted veggies or a pasta casserole.

    Anything else you would like to share?
    I'm hoping to get off the rest of the baby weight soon. It's actually not even the weight I gained with my most recent twins (i lost it all with a lot of muscle mass, as they sucked me dry of that, but weight i gained after I had my 2nd child.

    Would you like to share a picture of you or whatever you would like?
    Another time maybe!
