Good morning! I am having the best time doing the Shrinking Jeans Olympics! For the span of the Winter Olympics, we have events going on every day (only these ones are doable -- no triple sow cow necessary or whatever that's called) at the Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans. You really gotta check it out here, and plus there are medals involved! Sort of.
Anyhoo, I'm down one pound this week.
OH YES, AND HEY! I'M GIVING SOME STUFF AWAY!
I make these necklaces, it started out as a necessity because I couldn't find one that I could work out in that was short like a choker. So I bought the leather myself and started making them and I put affirmation rings on them ("Discipline," "Focus," "Courage," "Strength"- inspirational messages.) Of course, I also have silly ones (like the one I'm wearing), "I Need More Cowbell." I opened up my own Etsy shop and started selling them and have had a great response!
Anyway, remember how I'm training for a half-marathon to fight cancer with the sisters of Shrinking Jeans? If you donate $20 or more (RIGHT HERE - and completely tax deductible), I'll send you a necklace of your choice (with a leather or satin cord, your choice.). If you donate less than that, I'll send you my silicone "Strength, Focus, Discipline" bracelet. (Picture of that is HERE.)
AND ANY DONATION WILL ENTER YOU INTO A RAFFLE FOR A $50 gift card to Dick's Sporting Goods or Barnes And Noble -- your choice.
So pretty please? I've only raised 1% so far. Don't you feel bad for me? I'm pathetic.
ps. I'm going to do something crazy when I reach my goal and I'm letting you vote on it starting next Monday!!
Have a great week! I hope you did wonderfully and I can't wait for the new challenge, I hear it's starting soon and it's really really cool!! Meantime make sure you go visit the rest of the sisters!

woooot!!!! on your pound without counting. you rock!
ReplyDeleteand since i'm a sucker for giveaways - i'll donate again even though i haven't made it around to the other sisters. i'll get to them eventually right? :P
Doesn't it feel good when you lose without trying? Makes you realize what you could REALLY do if you followed the plan to a t. GREAT JOB!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the loss! 1 pound is 1 pound!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the 1 pound loss. That is wonderful! I still wear my strength-focus-discipline bracelet that you sent me when we were on Team Gold together. When pay day comes on the 22nd I will be back to donate. My really good friend had non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in her chest too. They found it when her daughter was only 6 weeks old. That was 3 years ago and she is doing great. She was actually just cleared to have more children if she wanted too. So this truly is a wonderful cause.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your loss, that is awesome that you are loving your new bike gadget! And props to you for offering up some of your goodies...I know I love mine and wore it on Monday!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the loss! It's TOUGH to stay on target while the little ones are sick! Good job for finding something that worked for you!
ReplyDeleteI will be back to donate, I promise. Might take a couple weeks, but I couldn't forget about you!
I'm so proud of you for working out religiously!! You are AWESOME!! Keep up the good work!!
ReplyDeleteWeightloss twins we are :)
ReplyDeleteYou and that bike apparatus are killing me! Love your necklaces, BTW! How come I didn't know about your Etsy shop, love?!! Congrats!!!!
I have a trainer for my bike as well. Sort of nice when the weather is crappy - which does happen here in Arizona - or if it's just TOO hot to go outside.
ReplyDeleteI'm on my own weight loss thing again - this time with motivation from my mom with the promise of a new wardrobe - there was a $$$ value specified and a deadline of May 13 - I have a wedding to attend. Hoping I'll make it this time - down 5lbs already. (This head cold I have has helped a bit too lately)
