Exercise Challenge Recap

For the second year, I participated in Amanda's challenge--thank you again! Struggling through a busy family life, back problems, the holidays, etc., I accumulated a modest 163.25 points. The 7 servings per day of fruits and vegetables was quite an achievement on the days that I reached the requirement. Other days were a little disappointing; I came very close but not quite. (And a couple days when I didn't feel well, I really "missed the boat!")

Week 2 - 18.5
Well, not doing so great...back pain issues and feelin' down. :(

Lots better, despite missing the first day!
