DDGBD, report #2
Drop Dead Gorgeous is the brainchild of Jess! I really like this challenge for so many reasons: It is my way to stay accountable. It is my way of looking at the positives and not dwell on the negatives. I needed that this past week! 8.29.2010 My picture of the week! I am not holding [...]
a different sort of challenge
Ya’ll know I love a good challenge. I am currently on Team A, or The Lowdown Dirty Loser, for the Shrinking Jeans Down & Dirty in 30 Challenge. While this is based on weight loss, I am having more fun getting to know 5 new friends and teammates. The sisters always host a good challenge [...]

a new challenge (ya’ll know I’ma junkie)
A few weeks ago I was contacted by my WW angel and she asked if I would like to blog again this year for the WW Walk-It Challenge. I loved blogging last year for this campaign so I was excited to be asked. I know, you are sitting there wondering what happened to my break [...]
