Since May I have been getting more than a half hour of exercise a minimum of four days a week. Usually at least three days a week its not less than 90 minutes. When it is cooler, I walk a lot. Really miss that. Can't wait for the end of October. Thanks for the pep talk.

Have any of you challenge winners ever taken a picture of your winnings? If so, I would love to see! I imagine it would be difficult as they probably straggle in all month long. Do you get as many fq as you are supposed to?

Still hanging in. Another day of no change. I'm still trying to see that as positive. I remind myself that I'm not gaining and I am building muscle.

I am so happy that when I started receiving them I started putting them in a large baby wipe container. I love pulling them out and seeing all of the pretty fabric. Oh and I do not think I ever told anyone this but I LOVE LOVE LOVE pink! Guess what? Most of the FQs are pink or have lots of pink in them! How cool is that?
I hope all is well today!
OH OH OH!! The Eggies are freaking AWESOME! No more peeling...no more nasty looking eggs from my feeble attempt at peeling! Woohoo!!!

PS: Did you know that there are websites that are dedicated to reviewing the Eggies? Hehe. That makes me laugh. LOL!

I have mine sitting next to my computer table. I'll take a picture when I get home.
Which reminds me I need to send off my fat quarter to the July winner...I haven't forgotten you. I actually have it in my purse, addressed and ready to go. I just need to see how much postage I need.

Well this morning got off to a good start foodwise. I ate a protein breakfast bar and snacked on some carrots on my way into work during my commute. Drove right by KKD and didn't even notice it. Of course my mind is on my daughter and her car problems. Her car broke down last night and thankfully I have a good friend that is willing to try and fix it. She leaves for Idaho in 3 weeks and needs her car to be able to get her back to college. I am worried sick that it is unfixable. But will cross that bridge when and if it comes. I am trying to to stress eat, but is hard. Especially since my husband is a hard, cold and uncaring man. He is no help at all when it comes to helping the kids with their problems. He sure didn't mind "making" those kids, but doesn't want to be the dad and help raise them. Oh well, don't mean to whine. With prayer, friends and God's help, all things are possible.
