Did two virtual 5Ks in the past few weeks - go me! I'm not usually a runner but sometimes I like to try something new just to shake things up. I did my first in about 44 minutes (walking with some running intervals) and my second in under 37 minutes (running with some walking intervals) We really need to start a November challenge thread!

I miss walking ... we're trying to find a good time for us to go, but we're not quite there yet. And, restarting HCG last month didn't happen - but starting again again today. ;)

I just joined the Spark People virtual 5k race - Trick or Treat Trot - never done a 5k and figure this might be an easy way to start - all I have to do is run/walk a 5k course of my own choosing next week and record my own time here on Spark.

Anyone else want to do it with me??

Restarting my HCG diet today, and trying hard to do better this time than I did last time. I lost about 20 pounds, and put a few of them back on. Time to get even more off!!!

Logging in is still sporadic for me because the site/my computer hate me. But I'll be logging food and exercise from my phone and I will try to get in as often as possible to check the boards.

Miss you gals, let's get busy!!

October personal challenge: I'm going to try to keep up with the goals I set for myself in September. Did pretty well for that month and am hoping to make some of my goals permanent enhancements to my life. Challenges I set for myself last month 1. get a workout in a minimum of every other day. 2. Plan dinner around my family's schedule (lots of crocking!) 3. Clean a trouble spot in my house for 15 minutes each day. 4. Remind my family to do a 5 minute clean up right before dinner while I'm getting dinner on the table.

Not all of these are happening every day - but we're seeing improvements.

YAY! People! We can do it!! Lol Yeah, I cut out soda but have seemed to replace it with more coffee then anyone should drink. Hrm.

Still sticking to my easy *Just DO IT* work out of 25 squats, 15 push ups and 30 crunches when I think about it. Walking with the kiddo hasn't happened because its been gross out...
