  • Dang have TOTALLY slacked!! I was thinking to myself how hard will it be to keep up with at least 30 minutes of exercise while me friend is here from out of town but we did a little too much partying! SO I will be hitting hard the rest of the month to HIT my GOALS!!!

    We did do A TON of walking so I am going to count some of those miles -- my Fitbit was routinely between the 15K-21K in steps so I think I will take probably like half of those for miles walked on those days.

    Keep it up everyone!!
