We are half-way through the May Challenge! It was so nice to see and spend time with family in Seattle over the weekend! I was impressed by the changes and commitment of everyone. In terms of my challenge, so far it has been both more difficult and easier than I expected. I have found that I easily have time to exercise 20 minutes a day and it does feel so good to sweat! However, it is hard to get out the door to workout at 9 PM at night when I would rather be lying on the couch and reading or watching television. It really goes back to my initial comments, I don't have the perfect circumstances to work out (I would rather go for an hour run in the morning about 30 minutes after I drink a cup of coffee) but I do have time and desire and can't use the circumstances as an excuse to keep me from something that I love to do.
Being half way through the challenge, it is also time to reflect. Is your May goal something that you plan to continue? Will you make changes to it to make it more sustainable? What do you think that you will tackle in the month of June?
I look forward to hearing from you!

5 days in!
We are now five days in to our May Challenge! I am interested to here from all of you on how things started off. Is it easier or more difficult than you anticipated? What have you been doing to remember your challenge?
My challenge is off to a good start. I was able to work out for 20 minutes three days last week (which I think is pretty good since the challenge didn't technically start until Wed) and went for runs both days on the weekends. I am realizing that for this challenge, more importantly than getting in the workouts is realizing that I actually am not as busy as I make myself to believe and that I do actually have time in the day to do this (and other important things!).
I also changed some of the settings for this blog so those of you with IPads should now be able to post comments without difficulties.
I hope everyone has a good week! I am looking forward to seeing the Miller Family this weekend!
