    I just wanted to say hello to all the challengers! I had a great run yesterday that I credit completely to this challenge. I didn't get on the treadmill until almost 10pm and I was tired and didn't want do it. I didn't want to give up on the challenge so soon though, so I made myself get on. I ended up having one of my longest runs yet and my best calorie burn and I owe it all to each of you! I hope everyone is still feeling the push to do a little more, so we will all reach our goals!

    Hi SBOO,

    Thanks for the info, I was told the same thing, I just didn't think it would happen this fast. I just really started working out on this challenge so, I was surprised. I probably would have quit again if it wasn't for the inches i lost! Just goes to show you that it's not always about the number on the scale!!

    On another personal note, I can do 30 jump jacks in a row, real ones too! I'm so proud of that single accomplishment! I have started doing jumping jacks every day and haven't logged them or my 50 crunches I've been doing, but have found that they are coming easier and easier - I plan to up the number next week!

    Burpees and bear walks are still from the devil, just sayin'!

    Remember that each step even the small ones is getting us closer and closer to our goal of healthly living. Sometimes are body will give us a fight but remember that we will win in the end.

    Thanks,
