    When you have gone so far that you cant manage one more step then you have only gone half the dstance you are capable of.

    Goals for this month: To walk 5 days/week at 30 mins a session to incorporate some de-stressing activity just for me; Stay off caffeine; Lose 8 pounds

    Looking forward to getting started!

    I'm joining, too!

    I'll get my numbers (weigh in, measurements) for Nov 1
    but here are my goals

    1) climb 10,000 steps during November (about 334 steps a day)
    2) spend 900 mins during Nov (30 min a day) supporting MFP friends and strangers (I've been totally lame about supporting my friends on here. they do so much to keep me going and I need to give back to the community. =) )

    I'm in. I"m not trying to lose weight. I simply want to be more consistent with the amount of days that I actually work out. Plus I'm running a 5K Turkey Trot so I need to start running more than once a week to make that happen.

    Where is the Turkey Trot taking place? I just signed up for one where I am originally from. I plan on going to visit them and run the 5k!

    ****** SPARTANS! ******

    Whew! Every time I come back, y'all are multiplying on me! :) This is getting better and better. Honestly I expected 10 people and was hoping for 20. We currently have << 66 >> Spartans!

    I'm putting together my tracking plan for this group, so bear with me because I may change things.

    A couple of things:

    1. The signups are closing at 8pm on Monday, October 31. It just means I'm locking down my spreadsheet - if you join after this date you can track your own progress and we'll still encourage you. I need a close date for me :)

    2. ** There will be a separate check in thread and separate conversation thread ** - I don't want the data getting lost among the hoots and hollers of all our success :)

    3. Please friend me! I will be posting stuff on my blog in addition to the threads to motivate and challenge us!

    4. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE for being SO enthusiastic and awesome! I can't wait for this!!! :flowerforyou: :love:
