Valerie and I decided to get portions of our Fit Test done together last Thursday while at the gym.  We knew it wouldn't take the whole 45 minutes so we needed a good workout to finish off the time and get a decent sweat.  I volunteered to find one to test out.  See how nice I am?  I volunteered (possibly, slightly guilted) into picking the workout to celebrate Valerie's BIRTHDAY bright and early at 6:45 am!!  In all honesty, I thought I was picking a fairly simple one from one of the many I've pinned on Pinterest, but  I couldn't have been more wrong.

Dear LWC,

     I am hoping by writing about my success this past year it will incourage someone else out there to 'just keep going'.  I started these challenges last Oct. 2012.  A friend of mine asked if I would be on her team with her family.  I KNOW she was inspired to ask.  I was 46 yrs old and felt like I was 90.  I was at a point in my life where I was in constant pain, overweight, and had high blood pressure.  Going up the stairs in my house was daunting.  I was diagnosed with a number of possibilities...

I encourage each of the teams, no matter where it looks like you're at in the competition, to reach out to one another and find out if anyone on your team is struggling. 

Tuesday's Try It

Has anyone else found themselves overwhelmed with ZUCCHINI this season?!?  

This year I had the great experience to host the first annual (I hope) Deer Lodge Turkey Trot 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk for our community.  I've loved running since I was little and have missed it so much since I've been pregnant this time around.
