Maxman,

Yes. October is going to be "my" month.

I am in on the Oct race and ODAT team and now yours.

The really good news for me is that AF is getting easier. I guess every few days we string together is positive reinforcement that "we can do this" and now my head is looking towards getting back into health again.

So, sneakers and gym clothes into the suitcase and I will work on a good walk every morning before work.

Have a good Sunday night - I assume it is nighttime there, right? I am soo TZ challenged.

Cindi

Hey guys! Started an octoberfest on Just starting out too-for AF! I have been very naughty in terms of exercise so I'll join too. (I think).
No, in all seriousness, I have to do exercises everyday for a knee injury and I haven't been very disciplined-my physio is going to shout at me on Wednesday! Best I hop onto that exercise bike when I log off. Thanks Max!

Me too. I went this morning and If I feel like I gotta have a drink or head for a bar when I'm done working I'm heading back to the gym instead. Gonna beat the cravings out of me somehow.

I'm in too Max. It's day 4 of no crap and no chocolate (as well as no wine, but since I'm now 10 months AF it's not the biggest challenge in the world anymore!) I've been climbing the mountain every second day, so I'll be upping that to every day once daylights savings come in.
