I am looking for people to join my team for the upcoming "Calgary Jingle Bell Run/Walk" in support of the Arthritis society. The event is Nov 15 at heritage park in Calgary.
Registration is $25/person and I would love to get a team of at least 8, hoping for 12 !!

do the 5 or 10k. Deadline for registration is Oct 15 so post here or send me an email

Okay so last week after "TBW" I didn't feel too bad. Today, after last nights workout, holy man, my shins and thighs are killing me. It was an effort to go up and down the stairs all day.
I was actually a bit stressed today thinking that I really need to go out tonight and get my walk in but holy crap my legs are WAY to sore !!
Guess What? I did it... thanks Kelsey for getting my butt out there and walking through the pain.
I know I whined a bit...lol and yes my back is still tingling...lol
Next time though could you huff and puff just alittle bit up the hills...lol !!! (even if you fake it...lol) Thanks it was fun, glad I went !

Fundraising Garage Sale !!!

Awesome news, I was able to raise $375 to put towards my fundraising goal. $265 from the items I sold plus 2 people that donated directly online !! Also a big thank you to my friend Zuky who donated some pictures to sell as well. Thanks !!! So I am so close to the 40% mark and that is so exciting.
I gathered up the items that didn't sell this weekend and donated them
to Goodwill, so not only was I able to raise money for Joints in Motion, I have a few empty boxes and totes in the garage. Time to start collecting for the Spring Sale..LOL !!!

Now that the garage sale is done, I can refocus and work towards hitting my goal of 35km by the weekend. Remember the challenge... :-)

Not only was my garage sale a fundraiser, but it also reconnected me with a childhood friend who
I haven't seen in almost 17 years. It was awesome chatting with her and finding out that she does triathalons. I know she's going to be a great inspiration and help to my training.

Here's cheers to a new week and LOTS of walking and working out !!!

End of the Week !!!

Woohooo... I made it past the 30% of my fundraising goal..Thanks Donna !!

So it's Friday and I didn't meet my goal AGAIN !!! Alittle closer this week though.
Wednesday I did a walk, only 4km but I made it out. Getting ready for this fundraiser garage sale on the weekend
is keeping me busy. I also joined Weight Watchers this week, so we'll see what I can adjust diet wise that might speed up the weight loss a bit. Although I have changed alot of my eating habits, I still seem to struggle with the weight, so I guess we will see if having a stricter plan to follow will help.

So I set my goal again 35km for the week !!!

I have a challenge... When I finally reach my goal of 35km for the week (hopefully it's this coming week), you or (if you've already donated) you ask a friend or family member to sponsor my journey !! :-) I need my supporters to help keep me motivated so lets do this together !!

Thanks Everyone !!!
Enjoy your weekend !!!

"TBW"

Tuesdays ...my "Total Body Workout" day. I just recovered from last week...oiiii !! Hopefully this week I'm not as sore. I think last week was so brutal because I wasn't able to take my injections for the arthritis for 2 weeks when I was so sick. So no meds in my system + an intense workout = sore sore sore body !!! lol So I was able to do my injection this past weekend so hopefully that will help the soreness factor this week. :-)

I walked to and from "TBW" which is 1.5km each way. So I didn't walk a whole bunch today but
I need to pace myself on "TBW" days !! I did wash all my floors on my hands and knees, that was a workout..does that count ?!?...LOL !!!

17 KM to my goal !!! :-)

Thanks again everyone for checking in to see how I'm doing. :-) Thanks to my awesome cousin that is helping me out with my fundraising goal with some canvassing in her community !!
29% and counting...anyone wanna push me to 30% :-)

I have decided to hold a fundraising garage sale next weekend. The proceeds from the stuff
we sell will go towards my fundraising goal. So we have been busy gathering things, setting up and pricing all weekend. But even after a very busy day I did get some walking in.

walking an average of 5.1km/hr
408cal burned

So if I include my biking that's 15.47km towards my goal...only 20km to go !!!!
