Want a great way to start your day??

So, my morning didn't start off very good when I went to make my morning coffee and realized I was all out!  So I put in a call to my trusty sidekick (my sister, who also lives in Drumbo) and asked if she would mind grabbing me a coffee from Cow Ridge Cafe and dropping it off on her way to work. Being the great sister she is said "sure, no problem" and grabbed one for herself as well.  She later texted me and I quote "Cow Ridge coffee is pretty good!" and I 100% agree, I can honestly say that I have had Cow Ridge Cafe's coffee a few times now and have never been disappointed!!  No need for Tim's when you can have CRC's Coffee!!!  Be one of the first 5 people to leave a comment below and I'll buy you a Cow Ridge coffee!

Village on a Diet Week 9

Well everyone we have lost a few more.  Just a reminder that if you fail to weigh in two weeks in a row without informing Frenz you are automatically disqualified from the program.  On a more positive note, I am very excited to say that this is the first week in a while were there are no negative numbers meaning no one gained weight this week!!  We had 7 losers and 11 maintainers, lets keep this trend up but try for more losers and less maintainers.  The weather we are expected to have this week should be a great motivator to get outside and exercise.  Keep it up Villagers only 7 more weeks to go!!

Village on a Diet Week 8

Well unfortunately we have lost a couple more Villagers but for those of us still in the running, let's pull together and get ready for SUMMER!!!  A great saying was attached to our results for this week and I found it inspirational so I thought I would share it.

If you focus on results, you will never change. If you focus on change, you will get results!!!
 
So I think from here on out I'm focusing on making positive changes in my life rather than the number when I step on the scale.  My new focus is going to be on cooking healthier for me and my family and to use Nike's motto of "just do it" for my motivation to get up and go and get into a routine of using my new workout videos TurboFire!!  Here's hoping I ROCK next weeks weigh in.
