Weigh In? What weigh in???

Posted on by

So it’s been awhile since I’ve posted a Weigh-In Wednesday. Partially because I’ve been doing “works for me Wednesday”, partially, because, well, I’ve lost my focus. I’ve become content to hang out at around 175, give or take a pound. I’ve given up on the idea of carving out time to exercise. I’ve gotten lax about what I’m eating. I’m maintaining, but I feel like a few more weeks of just getting by will turn into gaining back the five pounds I’ve lost.

And I’m going to be in sunny Florida, with noticeably less clothes on in exactly four weeks. So. I’m weighing back in on Wednesday. Encouraging comments welcome!

Oh, and currently, I’ve scaled back on the snacking since I’m spending every free moment entering giveaways. (No food ’round the ‘puter) And I’m busy reading entries to my first giveaway and my second giveaway. And making calorie-free Valentines. So I’m off to a good start.

For a Good Cause!

I don’t think I’ve mentioned them much, but I have a group of good friends through a Cooking Light Supper Club. We met each other right around September 2001. For the past seven years, we’ve been meeting every so often to, well, eat. Most notably, homemade, fabulous, gourmet low-fat fare. Oh, and dessert. There is always dessert.

One of my fellow supper-clubbers has been recently diagnosed with bone marrow cancer. She’s starting treatment, and her prognosis is good, but she’s going to need help to get through it. So, the club gathered to eat….and to brainstorm.

We are selling this fabulous homemade chocolate scented heart shaped soaps in time for Valentine’s Day. The larger soaps come in a gauzy little drawstring bag and sell for $3, the smaller soaps come three to a box and the box sells for $7. Shipping is $2 for a single soap, $3 for a box, and totally negotiable if you buy more than one item…so buy in bulk for every chocoholic on your list!! The larger size can also be dyed red and scented with cinnamon.

So, how do you get your valentine some of this fabulousness? Just email me at gotchababy05@gmail.com or leave a comment with your email and I’ll get back to you.
Right now we’re just accepting PayPal….if you are interested, email me and we’ll figure something out!

Are you exhausted from entering giveaways yet?? It’s only Tuesday, so pace yourself!!

Anyway, today I’m adding a giveaway… one that is for a very special cause. I don’t think I’ve mentioned them much, but I have a group of good friends through a Cooking Light Supper Club. We met each other right around September 2001. For the past seven years, we’ve been meeting every so often to, well, eat. Most notably, homemade, fabulous, gourmet low-fat fare. Oh, and dessert. There is always dessert.

This giveaway is dedicated to one of my fellow supper-clubbers who has been recently diagnosed with bone marrow cancer. She’s starting treatment, and her prognosis is good, but she’s going to need help to get through it. So, the club gathered to eat….and to brainstorm. We are selling this fabulous homemade chocolate scented heart shaped soaps in time for Valentine’s Day…and I bought a few to giveaway!!

I am giving away 1 heart shaped box with three chocolate scented soaps–perfect for a chocoholic or that special someone.
