This months fitness challenge was a bracket type challenge.  I had to:

1) do 100 squats in  minutes - done

2) Climb the fitness Center steps 10 times (there are 30 by the way) Done

3) Bike on the stationary bike 20 minutes - not done  I hate the stationary bike it makes my butt hurt

4) Walk/Run a 5K -  Gibbs, Brigen and I did this..... thought I was going to have carry Gibbs the last leg of the walk

5) Bike from the square to park by my house (5 miles) walk around the lake (1.8) miles and then bike back to the square (5 LONG miles) - finished took me 2 hours and 20 minutes!!  

Here is the bike I rented for $5.00 for half a day.  It was fun to ride and push around the lake and up the hills!!!!

Here I am at the end of the ride!!!  Never so happy to see that sign!

ah....look at this picture!! It popped up on my memories feed of facebook.  Look how little Gibbs is!!!

I decided to treat myself to some new charts!!  I cashed in a $100 Amazon Gift card I won from watching a lot of videos from Swagbucks.  Easiest $100 that I have earned.... I also spent $55 on my own cash on Etsy as a Happy Birthday to me!!!  I haven't really bought new charts/kits in a really long time so I treated myself.   I had 4 Disney kits delivered today...I am posting their amazon stock photo because I Just can't get a good shot tonight.  The ornament kits were all less than $10 a piece and I couldn't resist them!!!
