(So our house is constantly like a circus, but I wouldn't have it any other way.) I am currently in school finishing my degree so things can be a bit hectic at times. I have a year left including my internship and then I am going to celebrate by taking the family on a Disney cruise. I haven't been doing very well with eating healthy and have put about 40 lbs back on since last August when fall term began. So I am hoping that this challenge will help put me back on track. Now that school is out for the summer I am going to be putting in a huge vegetable garden. I especially love the heirloom varieties. The weirder the better!
Well I think that's about it. I am looking forward to meeting everyone!
HA! Jillian has to wear PINK next season because of a bet she & Ali made! HA HA HA!!!
One of the things Ali keeps saying is "Set yourself up to Win"..I love this. So far it's about food. Like having Frozen yogurt in the freezer rather than Ben & Jerry's, and at BBQ's this summer, have grilled chicken with dry rubs rather than marinade's, and bring fruit & veggies and just "set yourself up to win". How cool is that?!
