Hi Everyone, hope you’re all enjoying your weekend. I thought I better jump on here and write up a post. It’s been one of those weeks where I’ve not really known what to write about, hence the reason no post since Wednesday, but thank you for leaving your kind comments and birthday wishes for Mam.
Can you believe this past Thursday marked the 100 days til Christmas! If you like the idea of getting ahead of the game and starting to get organized you should check out the website 100daystochristmas.com I followed along last year and it was fun, although I didn’t do everything they posted to their site. I do have my 3 ring binder though and will start getting that sorted out and updated this week. I also found another great site today over at ‘Organizing Your Way’. They have a great free Ebook that you can download with lots of good printables too.
I’m a winner! I found out this week that I won this cute giveaway from Cheryl at ‘My Own Snug Fireplace’
Kristen loves to freeze her yogurts, so I know she’s going to love this. I haven’t told her I’ve won yet, so it will be a fun surprise for her when I recieve it. Now her frozen yogurts can actually look like an icecream cone:)
Horse riding was a go this week too. If it’s not canceled for the heat, then it’s the rain. The week before last we got a TON of it as you know, but this week all was fine and Kristen was thrilled. It’s becoming her favorite thing to do.
For me, this week has been a ‘sore’ one as I started Jillian Michael’s 30 Day Shred. I jumped on the band wagon when I saw Jen at Balancing Beauty and Bedlam posting about it.
Today was day 5, and I can really feel a difference. I’m determined to do this for the 30 days. It would help if I ate better too but I’ve not been so strict with my diet this week. It’s not that I need to lose the pounds, it’s all about toning up and feeling fitter. I do still manage to eat lots of veg and salads for lunch, I’m just not totally cutting out the chips or wine (both of which are my downfall)! I’m writing a little daily post over at my Healthy Den if you want to see my progress. I might post a weekly before and after picture over there next week!
Have a great Sunday, I’ll hopefully post more next week.

It's great that you are getting organized for Christmas...I'll check out the sites. I need all the help I can get!
I am so proud of Kristen when I see her sitting on top of that big horse. I'm so glad she likes it!!
Keep up the good work with your work outs!!

Wow! I can't believe it's going to be 100 days of Christmas.. can't wait to check out the site.
I am so proud of you for doing Jillian's DVD. I can not believe how hard every one has said that it is. You go girl. Maybe when I get moved (and settled) I will buy it and join in with you.
As far as Christmas, I am just thinking one day at a time. I will go to those websites and check them out. They sound like they are right up my alley.
Expect a phone call in the next day or two.
Denise, If you lived here I'd take you with me to the gym and you'd have so much fun. Weight lifting, step, and my favorite...ZUMBA. Now that dance class is a good workout and it's seriously so much fun!! Makes me feel very "alive" and shake my bootie and hips in ways that are not to be seen outside the studio floor :)
I'm proud of you. Jillian is the bomb. Christmas, on my! I'm spending all my disposable income on my face!!!!
What a cute win Denise. She will love that. Precious photos! :)
Hi Denise! I'll have to check out that DVD. I love exercise DVD's and my exercise routine has taken a hit since... can you believe this.. Ryan was born! And he's going to be 3 in October. My exercise room is now the nursery/playroom. But, I'm going to set my mind to it and get back on the program! (((Hugz)))
PS. Kiki looks adorable- love her riding boots! It's all about the gear and outfits! ;)
Yikes! Christmas! I can't adjust to fall yet! I need time! Congrats on the win - that looks really neat.
I've been having a blah blogging week myself. I need to kick it into gear a bit!
And on the riding too - I am glad she loves it. Mine was scheduled to go back and she was so excited, and then her trainer left unexpectedly (she got an offer from an agent and is now riding professionally) and now she is afraid to go back. I don't know what to do. I have scheduled another lesson, but haven't told her yet.
