Introduction Text Summer 2019 5% Challenge Exercise Commitment: As I get ready to start the 5% Summer 2019 Challenge, I continue to suffer from sciatic pain and bursitis which has definitely interfered with my motivation to do my regular exercise. However, I am determined to persevere and get back into my regular fitness routine and show the scale who is boss. My exercise plan for the Summer challenge is: 1. Walk daily at least 5 out of 7 days a minimum of 30 minutes 2. Yoga class three days per week for 75 minutes 3. Strength training two days per week for 30 minutes.

My name is Barbara, aka Barbie. I live in Roseburg, Oregon. I am 69, widowed on November 12, 2013. I have three children, a grown daughter who has a 26 year old daughter and a 19 year old son; a grown son who has a son who is 22 and working in the woods as a logger, and I had one son who died 26 years ago at the age of 15+ in a downhill skiing accident. I also have one great granddaughter who is 10 months old. I retired just a couple of months before my husband became so ill, so now that he is gone, I am still learning how to fill my days, and fix meals for one.

I got a dog after my husband's death, a Padderdale Terrier (looks like a miniature black lab), named Marv in memory of my husband who had a collection of rvin the Martian things. I enjoy reading, scrapbooking, card making, quilting, and knitting. I am learning how to take care of the lawn and garden which were Bill's pride and joy. I love the sunshine and being outdoors.
