It wasn't that hard

The treadmill arrived in good shape.  But the box wasn't.  In fact it was falling apart when it was brought into the house.   I was praying, "Please God, let it be ok."   It did take two people to set it up.  The motor was already assembled thank goodness.   All that was left to be done was to add the rolling wheel and the display unit.

It a small unit because it's a walking treadmill.  The runway is just right for my stride. I have become accustomed to the machine and ready to start building up my times and speeds.

So if you haven't joined "us" on walking across America for fitness then come on and get aboard.   This is the person who started it all  Walk Across America.

I will be reporting my progress here and also on Squidoo.

My road to fitness, will it be yours?

When this lens was first published I thought what a wonderful idea. I couldn't at that time "join" her due to some health issues that I was facing myself. My health issues have been resolved and now I find myself back on my road of not only recovery but fitness.

I have been following her path since June 15th and haven't made too much of a stride. But today the treadmill arrived. So I am ready to continue where I left off yesterday and finish my walk across America no matter how long it may take me. My question to you is will you be going with us?

How many of you have found yourself in the undesirable predicament of being out of shape, needing to shed some real poundage, and wished you could get yourself motivated to do something about it? I had to take some time off from my fitness routine due to circumstances beyond my control. Now I am struggling with getting back to being active, shedding some extra weight, and finding the motivation to get with the program...any program. I'm off to a rather sluggish start and heaven knows I need a big-time jolt of motivation, inspiration, or whatever it's going to take to get me off the couch and back in gear again. Then it hit me!

It's Graduation Day for Rocket Moms

Friday was a big day for Rocket Moms who accepted the Session 7 Challenge. It was an eight week long challenge that produced at least eight new lenses. Some of us produced more than eight lenses. I myself created a total of 14 new lenses. It was my first session with Rocket Moms.

I couldn't wait till Sunday evening rolled around to get our new assignment. Then I couldn't sleep because I was thinking or creating the lens for that week. This session I was introduced to the co-brand template of Hey Monkey Brain. It's based on a duel format. I will be making more of these lenses for sure. I was honored to be selected for the SuperLens of the day what a blessing. I also received my first purple star.

Purple stars are only reserved for giant squid so it was great that non-giant squids were allowed in the contest for our chance to receive a purple star.

Stop by and see the graduate's work for Session 7

You can see the lenses that I created at Towanda Showers: Lensography of a three-career woman just look for the sections that it titled Rocket Moms Session 7

Session 8 starts July 1, 2010.
