Greetings from Arkansas!!This is Kellie and I am hoping that 2007 is a great year for me in my attempts to get fit. Hopefully, these monthly challenges will keep me on track and give me some smaller goals to reach while struggling with my much larger (no pun intended!) goal of losing about 100 pounds by New Year's 2008!!
This year is big not only for trimming down, but for some real milestones in my life...my 30th birthday, my 10th wedding anniversary, and the move of my mom some 6 hours away!
I have been pretty successful in my lifestyle changes so far, but exercise has always been an issue for me. I am the busy wife of a high school band director for one of the largest bands in the state. I am the proud mother of a beautiful, bright 8 year old girl who appears to be destined to outdo me in intelligence as well as height!! And I am the often-frustrated coordinator of a research study on pediatric asthma at Arkansas Children's Hospital which requires a large amount of time and travel. Put all this together, and you will find a woman who just wants to sit in front of the TV when she finally settles in for the evening. So, you can see where an exercise challenge would be perfect for me! I have got to get my tail in gear!!! I have challenged myself (and a fellow blogger) to start putting our pedometers to real use and walk at least 7500 steps per day for a grand total of 232500 steps during the month of January! I actually had to force myself to walk an extra 15 minutes around my neighborhood yesterday to reach that!!
Here's hoping that we all experience the very best in 2007 starting right now!! Feel free to visit me at http://tiredofweightin.blogspot.com/ anytime. I welcome and love comments!
