February ChallengeI am totally in for February and I really struggled with what to set as a goal. The fact that I didn't reach my January goal really bugged me. I decided that I don't want to give up on it. I can imagine what it would feel like to actually complete such a large number of steps and so I have decided to repeat my challenge with a bit of modification. Instead of aiming for 7500 steps per day, I have set a goal for the entire month of February: 196,000 steps!! This may seem like a huge number, but it is actually only 7000 steps per day. I think that this way, I can feel okay about taking a Sunday off to relax and just make up the steps during the week.
I am really looking forward to another great month!!

I can't access your blog at work or at home. A message pops up from Google stating that it has to check for spyware or something like that. A sor of "sorry for the inconvenience" message. Anyway, I am sure it is something I can fix but just don't know how.
Basically, I just wanted to let you know that I was thinking of you and cheering you on even though I have no idea what's going on in your life and with your challenge right now. You have left so many encouraging messages for me and I haven't even been able to discover ANYTHING about you!! You have been so great and I can only hope that things are going well for you!
PS, I am really curious about the whole belly dancing thing!?!

MP3 playerI have only just recovered my MP3 player from my husband after getting him one for Christmas. But, it's not nearly as diverse as my fridge!!! ;)
I am a huge Rob Thomas fanatic and I only have him on it, just in various forms!
Rob Thomas
Matchbox Twenty (he sings lead)
Tabitha's Secret (again, he sings lead)
Smooth by Santana (but he sings lead)
Well, what can I say...I have a very limited budget for anything other than necessities in my household so I haven't purchased any music (downloads or CDs) in over a year unless he's on it!!! I am working on it though, but I need help!! I love dance music especially the stuff that they play at the clubs, but I don't know where to get it!!! Suggestions????

From the very depths of an ordinary kitchen, arises a sinister machine bent on world domination. It's plan: to make the world too obese to stop it. It's.....

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!
