  • Are you thinking ahead to April? Here's our new challenge thread: http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/chic...challenge.html
  • Quote: I will join this challenge again. This month I will stay active most of each day and go to the gym at least 5 times.

    Wow, I said will instead of try... so I gotta

    Well, another day another dollar

    I did stay active as I could. But did not make the gym even once. I had an onset of MS this month while not severe nontheless rendered me unstable weak and no strength left to even think of going to the gym. I stayed active except when I had to rest. But I accomplished very little during that time. It started letting up last week, and yesterday and today am almost back to self. So though I did not make my goal I did what I could.

    This coming month I expect to not have another episode and if not I will make the gym several times. I have caught up on most of the things I have needed to get done around here so I will have time... Hopefully.

    Yall looking great, see ya in April's challenge.
