i am so freakin' proud of myself i have to share this. on january 10th i joined a fitness challenge at my local fitness centre. the challenge is to complete 36, 54 or 72 visits within 12 weeks.

i completed the 36 visits already and today i'm completing 54 visits. (and that's with me being sick for 3 weeks and not being able to get to the gym during that time)... the fitness challenge ends in three days!

i'm so pleased. i've never stayed with a work out program like this. i'm doing it. i'm lifting weights, doing cardio and added in yoga three times a week as well.

my 'scale' weight isn't going down - but my 'size' weight is reducing! my strength is increasing and my stamina is way higher now.

and... the added bonus. so many people at the gym are now consuming green smoothies daily and adding more raw into their diets.

on monday i'm starting a 30 day green smoothie feast. nothing but green smoothies for 30 days. lots of fibre, lots of health... i am so excited about beginning this!

oh and i am, of course, buying another 3 month fitness pass!!! i love my new routine. answering emails in the morning, drink a green smoothie, then off to the gym... back home to homeschool, work on the magazine or run errands. sometimes i even toss in a little housecleaning LOL

anyway, i know this is long-winded but i'm so excited... i can't get my fingers to sit still!!!
