I apologize for not getting my check in done for week 2 last week. I was out of town doing college tours with my daughter. But I wanted to do an update for that week as well as this past week.

I will try to figure out how to do graphics or something to make these posts a little more fun to look at. I'm still trying to figure out everything I can do with my Flash. My daily goal is 1000 points or ~ 9000 steps.

**Week 2**

On Monday, I did an hour on the elliptical. I hit 1196 points or 9376 steps.

On Tuesday, I went to yoga class - it's still just as awesome. I'm really loving this class.  I only hit 254 (2506) points though.

On Wednesday, I went to my first Zumba class. My yoga teacher teaches it and asked me to come. I'm terrible as it, y'all. But it's so much fun! I smiled and laughed almost the entire hour. I didn't set my Flash properly so it said I only hit 707 points (6970 steps).

On Thursday, I spent a lot of time in the car driving. My daughter and I left on Wednesday afternoon headed to Seattle. Once there, we drove to Portland. We toured a college in Portland. Then walked around the city a little, in the rain, and got lunch. After that, we drove to see Multnomah Falls. And then we made the ~4.5 hour drive to Bellingham, WA which ended up taking closer to 7 hours because of rain and traffic. I hit 716 points (6818 steps). 

On Friday, we toured another college and then walked around campus a bit. After that, we went into downtown Bellingham, and walked around before having lunch. This is the only day where my Flash said I got in enough activity to meet my goals. :) We left Bellingham in the afternoon, headed to Olympia. I hit 1026 points (9324 steps) today.

On Saturday, we toured another college campus, also in the rain. We also did a little sightseeing in downtown Olympia. We then drove over to Tacoma where we visited Owen Beach on Puget Sound and got a private tour of the University of Puget Sound from my pal Robyn Jones. :) I hit 860 points (7980 steps).

Sunday was spent walking in airports and driving. I only hit 641 points (6078 steps).


**Week 3**

This past Monday,  didn't get any extra exercise in. I was busy doing laundry and grocery shopping since I'd been gone over the weekend. Plus, my kids were out of school for the day and I wanted to spend some extra time with my two younger kiddos since I'd been gone. I only hit 212 points! Gah! Only 2096 steps.

On Tuesday, I went to my yoga class. Then I also did an hour on my elliptical. I hit 916 points or 8422 steps today.

On Wednesday, I went to Zumba once again. I hit 993 points or 9260 steps today. 

On Thursday, I did an hour on my elliptical. I hit 910 points or 9260 steps.

On Friday, I worked but still got close to my goal. I hit 704 points in only 6860 steps. 

Yesterday, I did an hour on the elliptical. I hit 1101 points or 9092 steps.

I'm still doing well with my eating habits as well. I didn't go too crazy while my daughter and I were away. And I got right back to eating normally/healthily this week.
