Weekend of Change Challenge

I am challenging you to make better choices while helping others this weekend... how?! How many of us have a coffee a day? or a soda habit? Its the weekend, who's having a empty calorie martini? Anyone got the urge for a happy meal?! Well don't! I challenge you to skip one costly unhealthy habit, be it a fast food meal, your favorite pint of ice cream, or even a pack of smokes and donate that money you would have spent to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Not only will you be helping yourself out by making a better choice for you, but you will also be helping out millions of others who just wish to have the chance to be healthy. I can't wait to see how much it adds up on Sunday night!

Team in Training!

Well I've talked about it and its finally happened... I'm officially registered for my first Marathon!!! I'll be running in the Marine Corp Marathon on October 31st. That in itself is amazing but the BEST part is that I am now a part of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Team in Training which allows me to train and complete the marathon while raising money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. That is such a special opportunity for me because losing weight saved my life and because of it, I now can help save the lives of others by raising funds for research AND I will reach a personal goal at the same time. Some of you have been with me through my entire weight loss journey while others have just joined me but no matter how long you've been supporting me, I'd like to ask you all to join me in this new and exciting journey I am taking. My fundraising goal for this year's race is $3,500 ... does that number ring a bell in anyone's head? You have to burn 3,500 calories to lose 1 pound of fat and so my goal is $1 for every calorie it takes to lose that pound. I'm asking that you get your friends and family involved to help me reach that $3,500 goal.
