tions from the fl oor during this meet-ing. If you are interested in running or have questions, please give me a call at 703-542-6263to discuss.

On a personal note, I love this time of year for many reasons. The change of season, cooler temps bringing on the fall colors and spending time with my family bring a great sense of joy to me. I look forward to spending time with my three kids at various fall soc-cer tournaments that are right around the corner; and the start of basketball season for them. I am grateful for my family and anticipate another great Thanksgiving while hosting dinner for 30+ family members. I am also looking forward to scheduling some time off over the holidays so I can get away and reenergize for the upcom-ing year. I hope to see you at the an-nual meeting. If I don’t, have a great holiday season.

.Sincerely,

Rick Stone PCAM, LSM General Manager

Fall is My Favorite Time of the YearA MESSAGE FROM THE GENERAL MANAGER

While warm weather related activities are slowing down, year end tasks and planning for 2014 keep the Associa-tion staff busy year round. November and December are busy months of the year for me, both professionally and personally. There are a lot of tasks and to-dos to address before the fast approaching holidays and end of the year.

One very important event on my cal-endar takes place every November, and it’s not Thanksgiving – it’s BCA’s Annual Meeting. The Association’s governing documents require the community to hold its annual meet-ing on a weekday, 30 days prior to the beginning of each fi scal year. BCA Bylaws also require that notice of the meeting is provided to all owners of record at that time. To meet these re-quirements, notice has been sent and the BCA Annual Meeting is scheduled for 7:00pm on Tuesday, November 12th. In the spirit of Thanksgiving, starting at 6:30pm, we’ll share some food, drinks and off er guests a Bram-bleton pilsner/wine glass as a favor.

This year’s meeting will be very infor-mative with various representatives from the County, State and Commu-nity in attendance to provide infor-mation on projects, events and ser-vices that will impact our community. VDOT is scheduled to share an update on the North/South Corridor project; Supervisor Clarke will off er informa-tion from the County perspective; and the Brambleton Group will give the latest update on the pending rezoning applications; while the As-sociation will provide an overview on their operations. The night will be packed with community information.

The election of one Director to the BCA Board is also part of this election. Tom Gurganous has served his three year term and is up for re-election. He is currently running unopposed. Per the BCA Articles of Incorpora-tion, additional nominations may be made from the fl oor at the meeting at which the election is held if no more than one person of each vacant posi-tion has been nominated. Therefore, the Association will accept nomina-

2014 AssessmentsRick Stone, General Manager PCAM, LSM

ASSOCIATION BUSINESS

The Brambleton Community Association Board of Directors adopted the 2014 Assessments & Budget at their October 8, 2013 meeting. The assessments are set for 2014 and are based on the projection of expenses for 2014. The Board and staff anticipate signifi cant growth in the number of new units coming on line but also project expenses to increase as a direct result of a $2.17 Verizon Fios increase, the addition of two new pool facilities, additional overall maintenance increases, and other general annual increases. The Assessments for monthly 2014 are as follows.

• Detached Homes $173.89

• Detached w/ Common Driveway $185.61

• Townhouse $174.79

• Townhouse w/ Grounds Maintenance $189.79

• Summerfi eld Condominium $134.43

• The Residences Condominiums $143.35

Payment Coupon Booklets – The annual assessment payment coupon booklets will be mailed out after Thanksgiving to all owners who are not participating in the FSR Direct Debit program. Please be on the lookout for them.

FSR Direct Debit Program – Owners can sign up for the Direct Debit Program with FirstService Residential Manage-ment. Through this program, the owner authorizes FSR to withdraw the monthly assessment on a recurring basis from the designated bank account on the fi rst day of the month via ACH transfer. Please see the link to the Direct Debit Form.

Personal Online Payment Services – Many owners make use of online service available through their personal fi -nancial institute. Owners using such services are reminded that they need to update the assessment amount for their January payment to avoid late fees for insuffi cient payments down several months into the New Year.

Questions – All questions related to the assessments or 2014 Budget should be directed to the BCA Management offi ce at 703-542-6263 or [email protected]

• Garage Lights – most often found in home styles off ered by the builder Miller & Smith, these fi x-tures include recessed lights and standard fi xtures near the garage.

• Landscape Lighting – currently found only the Brownstone style homes from the builder Miller & Smith, these fi xtures are designed to high light landscaping features.

Although we know it’s going to happen every year, that fi rst early dark night in fall always seems to be a surprise. To help light the way, there are a variety of lighting fi xtures found throughout Brambleton. The following informa-tion outlines the types of fi xtures and the parties responsible for maintaining them.

Streetlights are found at most intersec-tions throughout Brambleton and are placed according to the plans original-ly approved by the County.

New streetlights are installed by the servicing utility company and design and installation times are dependent on a several factors.

Existing streetlights are maintained by the servicing utility. Brambleton is served by two utility companies. Con-tact information to report outages is

the Covenants Committee determine that any decorations or lighting attract excessive traffi c, unreasonably inter-fere with the use and enjoyment of the Common Area or adjacent Lots or cause a dangerous condition to exist, the resident responsible must remove the decorations or lighting within 48 hours after receiving notice from the Association.

In addition, the following guidelines apply to the display of holiday decora-tions and lighting;

1. Holiday decorations and lighting must be specifi c and appropriate to the holiday occurring at the time of display. All materials must be within the boundaries of the

Lot of the resident making the dis-play.

2. Christmas or winter decorations may be placed out as early as the day after Thanksgiving and may re-main on display until January 15th. Exterior decorations for all other holidays may be placed out thirty (30) days in advance of the holiday and removed not later than four-teen (14) days after the holiday.

If you have questions, comments, or need more information, please contact a member of Brambleton’s Covenants Team at [email protected] or 703-542-6263.

community by displaying outdoor dec-orative lights. The fi rst signs are often Halloween lighting and decorations. Although it’s a relatively new phenom-enon, lights for this holiday are becom-ing more common and certainly bring the BOO to Brambleton.

Following Halloween is another holi-day celebrated by many Brambleton residents. This holiday, Diwali, is also known as the Festival of Lights. Lead-ing up to this fi ve day period, which starts on November 3rd this year, we’ll see many colorful and exciting light displays around Brambleton.

This year we’ll see a rare coincidence of the calendar when both Thanksgiv-ing and the beginning of Hanukkah are celebrated together. While lights are not typically used in Thanksgiving decorations, Hanukkah is known as a Festival of Lights and Feast of Dedica-tion and will be celebrated by many in Brambleton by lighting a candle each evening after dark during the eight days of this important holiday.

The end of the year will bring Christ-mas, another holiday on the calendar that most often includes a variety of colorful decorative lights.

Residents that plan to decorate for any of these holidays are encouraged to become familiar with Brambleton’s De-sign Guidelines. The Guidelines were recently revised to include additional guidance for holiday decorations and lighting and state the following:

Holiday decorations and lighting do not require approval by the Covenants Committee. Nevertheless, if the Com-mittee is presented with a petition by three (3) Owners who reside in sight of the decorations as to any alleged ad-verse eff ect to their properties caused by the decorations/lighting, the Com-mittee may compel the Lot owner of the decorated Lot to limit, constrain or otherwise reduce or modify any deco-rative materials or lighting. Should

Residents are responsible for the daily operation of carriage lamps located on their property. If you are experiencing trouble after attempting to replace the bulbs, some sugges-tions to consider are:

• Check the contacts for the bulb. Over time, debris can collect in the fi xture and obstruct the contacts.

• Check the breaker or GFI switch associated with the fi xture. It could be that the breaker or GFI switch may need to be reset.

• The sensor may need to be replaced. Sensors typically have a life span of a few years. Most national home im-provement stores have them in stock or an electrician can perform the replacement.

• If these steps do not restore the light to operation, an electrician may be necessary to further troubleshoot the problem.

Introducing Brambleton’s Safety & Security CommitteeRosemarie Linder, Director of Resident Services

The BCA Board approved the cre-ation of a Safety and Security Advi-sory Committee at its January 2013 meeting. At the recommendation of the Committee, the Board recently approved the charter of the Commit-tee and set the following scope of work:

• Review resident concerns related to community traffi c safety and work with staff and local offi cials/agencies to address issues as ap-proved by the BCA Board;

• In cooperation with staff , orga-nize informational programs such as CPR/AED courses, bicycle safety briefi ngs, carseat installa-tion demonstrations, etc., to pro-mote general safety and security within the community;

• Interact and communicate with residents, staff and County to promote a Neighborhood Watch program and related programs;

• Work, communicate and interact with BCA Staff to address identi-fi ed security or safety issues on BCA Common Area or private

streets;

• When authorized by the BCA Board, speak before County or State offi cials in regards to com-munity safety & security related issues, concerns, and requests;

At the recommendation of the Com-mittee, the Board appointed Dave Pavlik as Chairperson and the fol-lowing neighbors were appointed as founding members:

• Steve Huber

• Kimberly Kafafi an

• Danny Miller

• Jim Nuttall

• Kevin Pullen

• Geri Wardlow

The Committee’s fi rst meetings have focused on gaining an under-standing of BCA’s current safety and security eff orts and have included presentations from the Association’s attorney and the Neighborhood Watch representative from Loudoun County Sheriff ’s Offi ce. Future Com-mittee meetings will be dedicated to setting goals for 2014 for communi-cations and activities to support the Committee’s mission of enhancing safety and security within Bramble-ton.

The Committee meets monthly at the management offi ce located in the Brambleton Town Center and residents are welcome to attend. Meetings start at 7:30pm, and up-coming meetings are scheduled for

November 18th & December 10th. Please check the Brambleton Face-book Page for updates or changes to the Committee’s schedule.

Brambleton Community Associa-tion will continue its eff orts to be proactive in addressing safety and security within the community, the most important action residents can take is to have a “see something, say something” approach toward unde-sirable or criminal activity.

For your safety, do not confront any-one considered to be a trespasser, criminal, vandal, etc. Immediately call the Loudoun County Sheriff ’s Offi ce when you see suspicious activ-ity or a crime occurring. Suspicious activity is considered a non-emer-gency call to LCSO at 703-777-1021. Program this number into your cell phone so you will have it handy when the need is there. Call 911 for crimes in progress.

Fall Event Success - What's Up Next?Beth Huck, Community Lifestyles Manager

you know how valuable you each are to the continued success of great community.

As always, keep your eyes open for more details about upcoming events by reading the community newslet-ter, fi rday Flash, Checking out the BCA Facebook Page and by going to www.brambletonevents.com .

Mark your calendars for our upcom-ing events:

• November 12th - 6:30pm – 9:00pm – BCA Annual Meeting

• November 16th & 17th – 10am-7pm – Pictures with Santa (reser-vations required- currently full)

• December 7th – 2pm-7pm - Holi-day Open House

• December 8th – 6:00 – 8:30 pm Holiday Coalition Santa Tour

The 8th Annual Fall Festival was a huge success! The weather was un-usually hot, and you would have thought it was Red, White, and BRAM. We received a lot of positive com-ments about the new street fair lay-out. 0ur approach of building on the success of each event and incorpo-rating new ideas led to this change in the layout. We found that this layout provided an easy set up and worked well for our vendors. We as a com-munity are growing and our events will evolve along with the growth.

The growth has also inspired the ad-dition of two days-worth of pictures with Santa. We have planned these days for November 16th and 17th, so that pictures can be purchased for Holiday cards sooner rather than later. The sign up is currently full; however, there is a waitlist. As more facilities become available we might

be able to accommodate more days next year, but it just wasn’t possible this year. Santa Clause will be back on December 7th at the Town Cen-ter Welcome center for our Holiday Open House. He will be available to visit on a fi rst come fi rst served basis. The Holiday Open house will have activities for kids and performances by some of students from our local schools. We are excited to host them and you for a fun-fi lled day of Holiday cheer.

As always, our events would not be possible without our wonderful vol-unteers. In appreciation of all of our most dedicated volunteers, commit-tee members, board members, and key sponsors and business partners, we had our annual Volunteer VIP par-ty. This year was Halloween themed and a great time was had by all. We appreciate you all so much and hope

Rocket Fuel”. Joe presented his chili with Jalapeño Infused Margarita shooters as an accompaniment, and the judges enjoyed the creative pair-ing. The Honorable Mention for “Best Name” went to Marie Hannah for “Ashburnin’ Red” chili.

After the judging was complete, con-testants and visitors were welcome to sample each chili in the competi-tions and compare. The BCA staff and contestants had a great time with this event at the Fall Fest and look forward to making it an annual competition for our community.

If you think you have the Best Chili in town, look out for communications about how to enter the 2014 Bram-bleton Chili Cook Off at Fall Fest next year!

Brambleton’s First Annual Chili Cook-Off competition took place during the Fall Fest on Saturday, October 5th in the Welcome Center. Eleven delicious chili’s were entered into the competition, ranging from classic Midwestern chili to variations such as white chicken chili and bison chili.

Chili’s were judged on a scale from 1 to 10 in fi ve diff erent categories: Aro-

ma, Color, Consistency, Taste and Af-tertaste. The judging panel consisted of 2 BCA Committee members and 4 Brambleton residents.

The First Place prize of a $100 Ama-zon.com gift card went to Kim Klopp for her “Best from the Midwest” chili. Second place went to Joe Doman for “Joe’s Rocket Fuel”, who received a $50 Amazon.com gift card. Third place was a tie between Dennis Kel-len’s “White Lightning Chicken Chili” and Danielle Torley's "Mighty Bison". Each winner also received an offi -cial 2013 Brambleton Chili Cook Off award medal.

There were two Honorable Mention prizes also given during the com-petition. The judges awarded “Best Presentation” to Joe Doman for “Joe’s

she noticed that even though Shraiya did not participate in class that when they are home she was mimicking rhythms they learned at Little Hands.

Along with music and rhythm the kids are also learning about self-con-trol. If they can learn to stop, clap on beat, jump on one leg they start to understand they have control of their bodies. Teddy’s (2 yrs old) mom said that since they have been coming she has noticed that he has an easier time transitioning from one activity to an-other, following directions and being more gentle. The parent of Delanie (15 months) agreed that Little Hands has helped with both interaction and change.

Little Hands off ers one free trial class at any time, you just need to email them to let them know you are com-ing. They also will prorate classes if you join mid-session. The class in Brambleton is held on Wednesdays at 10am at the Community Center on Regal Wood Dr. Please visit www.littlehands.com for registration and information.

“Music is the electrical soil in which the spirit lives, thinks and invents.”

– Ludwig van Beethoven

Isn’t it funny how just hearing a song can bring you back to a memory that you haven’t thought about in years and how certain music can alter the way you are feeling at that moment. Little Hands at the Brambleton Com-munity Center uses music and rhythm to help create those exact responses we have as adults to music by intro-ducing it to our infants and toddlers. It starts to create a foundation that will help with future activities as ba-sic as walking and running to playing instruments and creative thinking.

The teacher, Betsy Leon a mother of 5, started out with Little Hands as a par-ticipant for 16 years before becom-ing a group leader. As a professional musician and mother she knows how important and helpful including mu-sic and rhythm can be in a child’s life. She has noticed that the Little Hands program has helped with interaction not only between the children but

the parent / child relationship and between the other parents. Betsy really feels that where Little Hands helps the child it also helps the par-ent because it brings support and reassurance from the other parents in the group.

All the classes continuously have some type of music happening. If the music isn’t being played from a re-cording it is being sung by the class, drummed on the fl oor, or rattled with a shaker. There is story time, bounce time, circle time and all of it is constantly moving. While I was there to observe they sang a story about growing seeds where the kids would act like they were digging a hole, planting the seeds, watering the seeds and the having the fl owers grow. It was very cute how they all participated and were very excited to do the movements.

Some of the younger ones did just observe the dancing and movements but according to the teacher obser-vation is a valid part of participation. The parent of Shraiya (9 mths old) said

Fall is a time that residents or their contractors spend additional time and money in their yards to prepare them for the next growing season. Popular fall yard projects include leaf removal, lawn dethatching, mulching of landscape beds, aerat-ing or other general improvements. As the projects are performed it is important that as homeowners you become stewards of the envi-ronment and see that debris from the yard project is disposed of in a proper manner.

Brambleton has seen an increase of homes being built that back to nat-ural areas. As a result we have seen an increase in the number of illegal dumping of unwanted debris in the adjacent natural areas on common areas. The Association does not al-low Green Dumping, the dumping of yard debris, soil or rocks, on its common areas. Green Dumping is considered destructive to natural areas of all types; meadows, wood-lands, wetlands, streams or ponds.

Excess and unwanted debris can smother and kill desired under-story ground cover or native wild-fl owers, impact naturally occurring wildlife habitats, create additional silt and sediment in streams, ponds or wetlands or create unwanted smells and odors. Simply put, piles or mounds of green debris are also not aesthetically pleasing or envi-ronmentally benefi cial.

Brambleton provides a legal and environmentally healthy service which allows its residents to easily and properly dispose and recycle yard debris. Republic Services (for-merly AAA) will collect yard debris placed curbside each Tuesday be-tween the months of March-De-cember. Please review the below list of acceptable items and dispos-al requirements.

Yard Debris Recycling Guidelines:

• Grass clippings, thatch & leaves need to be contained in a dedi-cated and identifi ed container/

trash can, paper yard debris bags or clear plastic bags. Dark colored plastic bags are con-fused with the normal trash and not accepted.

• Brush and limbs must be cut into 4-foot lengths and bun-dled (arm-full size) with rope or twine and should not exceed 50 lbs.

• Concrete, bricks, blocks, rocks, sod and dirt and tree limbs larger than 6 inches in diameter and 4 feet in length will NOT be collected. Owner must arrange disposal with their contractor or service.

Please don’t hesitate to contact the BCA Management Offi ce with any questions; (703) 542-6263 or [email protected] One last closing thought, as a good neigh-bor the Association would never think of dumping on a resident’s yard; please don’t dump on the As-sociation’s common areas!

centrated form of fl uoride used to prevent decay, remineralize the tooth surface and treat tooth hypersensitivity. Advantages in-clude: no bitter taste, easily and quickly applied, easier for pa-tients with gag refl ex, negligible amount of fl uoride ingestion due to rapid setting time and patients can eat, drink and rinse imme-diately after application. The fl uoride treatment is as impor-tant in fi ghting tooth decay as in strengthening developing teeth. They are taking appointments for kids, teens and adults.

Come by this weekend for lunch or dinner, but remember to save room for a little dessert because you don't want to miss out on this fall sweet treat!

Holiday Help Wanted: Scouting for Food and Other Gifts of Kindness

COMMUNITY

With the Holidays quickly approach-ing, I like to think of ways to give back, especially within our community and county. Donating items and acts of service are great ways to teach your children to give back. So as you fi ll your bellies this holiday season with all the great food that comes with celebrating, think about those that aren’t as fortunate as you are, and try to think of some ways to help.

Our local scout troops are gearing up for their annual Scouting for Food Campaign. Scouting for Food is an annual food collection orchestrated by Scouts from the National Capital Area Council. Local Scouts distribute plastic bags to homes across the re-

gion and return to pick up the bags, now fi lled with food, one week later. Collected food is distributed to needy families in the community. The lo-cal Cub Scout Pack (Pack 1500) and Boy Scout troops will be distributing Scouting for Food donation bags in Brambleton on Saturday, November 2. They will return to collect those bags one week later on Saturday, No-vember 9. Please help those families in need in our community.

Not sure what you should donate? Some of the most highly needed items are:

• Non-perishable food items

o Canned protein (tuna, salm

on, chicken, peanut butter)

o Soups & stews (beef stew, chili, meat-based soups)

o 100% fruit juices (all sizes)

o Grains (pasta, whole grain pasta, rice, brown rice, boxed macaroni & cheese)

o Cereals (multi grain, low sugar such as cheerios, cornfl akes, raisin bran, grape nuts, oatmeal)

o Canned vegetables

o Canned fruits

Beth Huck, Community Lifestyles Manager

o Condiments

• Hygiene products (diapers, toilet paper, tissues, soap, toothpaste)

In addition to the eff orts of the boy scouts, there is so much more we can be doing. As a community we support the eff orts of the Arcola Vol-unteer Fire Department with their Loudoun Coalition toy, canned food, and clothing drive. This year Santa will be com-ing around on the fi re truck to collect these items on Sunday Decem-ber 8th. We will be publishing a list of stops the week prior to this day. In the meantime, I have compiled a list of other op-portunities for you to give back, whether it is by donations or by getting out there to physically serve meals or help in other ways. I hope you will take some time to consider doing one of these with your children this holiday season.

Volunteer Loudoun: www.volun-teerloudoun.com - This site lists many

places to volunteer throughout Loud-oun, and you can search appropriate opportunities for individuals, adults, teens, and for families.

Loudoun Interfaith Relief, Inc: www.interfaithrelief.org - The mis-sion of Loudoun Interfaith Relief, Inc. is simple, yet critically important: feed the hungry by providing emer-

gency food assistance to those is need to any

person or family living in Loud-

oun County. There are op-portunities a v a i l a b l e to donate food items, g r o c e r y

cards, and money; and

opportunities to volunteer

your time to help at the center.

Good Shepard Alliance: www.loudounhomeless.org - This organi-zation is run out of Ashburn and pro-vides lots of needs to those in need in Loudoun, from food donations to construction work.

Tree of Life Food Bank: www.purbap.

org/pages.php?name=foodpantry – A part of Purcellville Baptist Church, the Tree of Life off ers opportunities to give and to volunteer.

There are so many ways you and your family can help this year. In addition to these opportunities listed, there are many not listed. Take it from Ash-ley Campolattaro, a Brambleton resi-dent who created a Facebook page dedicated to helping others and ser-vice opportunities. Search for “Gifts of Kindness…Pass it On!” to be added to the group. Ashley states “I started this page to help serve as a clearing-house of sorts for families looking for ways to give back to the community, harness volunteers, and engage kids of all ages in the process. Initially, it was part of my family's Advent Cel-ebration (see Momastery link, http://momastery.com/blog/2011/11/), but the interest was so great that the group evolved to become a year-round thing with members posting volunteer opportunities and needs throughout the year. When you scroll down, it's really cool to see all of the things that members of the group have done over the past year! And, we add new members nearly every day! “ Visit the page any time of year to fi nd out ways you and your family can help out!

B_Fit and Healthyto keep running be-cause she knows it will motivate her hus-band to continue ex-ercising and getting healthier with her. A daughter pushed her father in a wheel-chair over every hilly inch of the course because together they know they can achieve great things. And countless others completed their fi rst

ever races, glowing with the accom-plishment and now sucked into the infectious race day atmosphere. Sto-ries of lifestyle changes in all phases of development, but each equally in-spiring. Regular people making pow-erful choices to improve their lives now and for the future!

We can actually learn quite a bit from the motivational strategies employed by many of these fi rst time racers. Re-search supports several key strate-gies to improve success rates when making a lifestyle change, and our racers are a great example of how these can work. The fi rst is setting a goal. Be specifi c and realistic. Goals can be broken up into short term and long term goals to help create small milestones along the way. One of our racer’s goal was to “complete my fi rst 5k and run at least half of the time.” Short term goals were to complete the couch to 5k training plan each week which helped keep on track even when race day seemed far off in the future. Goals can be incred-ibly motivating. My favorite PGA tour golfer recently explained to me how his weekly goals are paramount to his success. “Even if I’m not scoring

Inspiration comes from many places. Earlier this month my passion and excitement for helping others make positive choices in their lives was re-ignited when I had the honor to vol-unteer in the fi rst annual Jackson 5K fun run. My company, The Jackson Clinics, hosted this event to highlight the importance of regular physical activity and to facilitate what is of-ten the hardest part…taking the fi rst step! Many of our staff and patients used a 9 week Couch to 5k training program and came to the starting line not just ready for one race, but 2 months into an amazing and poten-tially life-changing journey that will keep them ready to lead happier and healthier lives for years to come!

The energy at the fi nish line was in-fectious! I heard so many stories of triumph and determination. One woman had undergone an extensive neck surgery just one week prior to the race but is determined to keep moving forward and fi ghting for her health. Another had started jogging 1.5 years ago after her physical thera-pist taught her how to exercise with-out pain, and she now competes in over ten 5ks a year. A wife promised

as well as I’d like in a tournament, if I complete my practice goals each week, I know my game is on track. I stay motivated to work hard rather than getting frustrated by my score-card.”

Research also suggests that being mindful of exactly how much eff ort you’re putting into accomplishing your goal may be the most important strategy for long-term success with a lifestyle change. Keeping a train-ing log is a great way to do this. This not only lets you track progress over time, but helps hold you account-able each day. The racer I referenced above wrote down her running and walking totals every day. She didn’t always hit her goal, but she refl ected on her progress daily. Even if you do no training or can’t remember exactly how much you did, write it down. The benefi t is in raising your aware-ness on a regular basis to just how hard you are working. This also gives you a chance to refl ect on whether you think you’re pushing too hard or could potentially work even harder.

So — create a vision of your future self, set a goal, and then make short term mile markers to help keep you on track along the way. Create an ex-ercise journal and record your activi-ties. Then go on the facebook page and share your inspirational story with all of us! As always—have fun!
