5. Continue Daily Food Journal - DONE
6. Start scuba diving again - told my husband I would go for sure this spring!
7. Run at least 3 - 5K's in 2010 - on hold due to injury

I'm a little {Ok a LOT} bummed that I can't run right now. It honestly may not be in the cards for my in the future either due to all the old injuries I have from a car wreck in 1996. I may replace #7 & #10 with something so I can continue to grow as I hate having to fail these goals week after week. I did try jogging yesterday on the treadmill - but strong pain started right away. It's a disappointment after all my hard work in this area but I will find something else to love as much I'm sure.

RANDOM FACT #4

I love Hello Kitty! I collect anything HK I can find and proudly display it all {probably much to my poor hubby's embarrassment} in a curio in my bedroom!

Random Fact #2

I am hung up on the number 2. I like everything in even numbers. When I eat I take a bite on the left and then a bite on the right. The TV volume must be on a even number level. Drives my family crazy sometimes (but my teen daughter is just like me-haha!)

Random Fact about me #1:
I love to scuba dive, I've been certified for about 10years!
We stopped going when I outgrew my wetsuit about 7-8yrs ago (I claimed our busy family just didn't have time).
I WILL go diving again this SPRING/SUMMER...and plan to wear that wetsuit!

Final hot 100 update

Wow - the time has flown by on this HOT 100 Challenge.

MY goals were:

1. lose 5lbs per month - I successful each month of the challenge, YEAH!

2. life weights at least 2x's per week - overall did well, maybe 2 weeks I missed this goal

3. no crackers or bread for snacks - this was harder, finally tackled it, but didn't really excel on this like I expected to

I look forward to the new challenges the PERFECT 10 will bring and will be back to post my goals either later today or in the morning!
