Hello All!
Well, the first week of March is now in the books. How'd your week go? My goal for the year was to walk/jog/run/skip/etc 10K steps a day. Since my hubby gifted me a Garmin Vivofit for Christmas, this goal has been easy to track. I did well in January with about 15/31 days over the 10K mark. I failed miserably in February and don't even want to comment on the days I was able to make 10K steps.
About 6 weeks ago, I stumbled upon an online miles challenge (www.funknrun.com) - which then lead me to Diet Bet as an additional weight loss challenge. I work a desk job, but am able to walk between 1-2 miles a day at work and home. So, I committed myself to the highest miles challenge offered: 30 day - 90 mile challenge; or roughly 3 miles a day. It is intended to be a challenge, so I picked the most challenging of the distances for my current activity level! Since I wanted to get back into running more regularly and the weather is getting nicer, this "challenge" has been fun and easy!

I am so glad that I signed up for both the miles challenge and the Kickstarter/Transformer Diet Bets. This is a great beginning to the month and a great start to 2015!!
Happy times!
