UPDATE

by aileen on March 21, 2010

Although for the past few weeks I have been completely buried in ‘book writing world’ I have still had time to work on a couple of challenges…see you’d thought I’d forgotten. Here are some of the updates and some stuff you can do to be part of the challenges…

I went last weekend to watch a rugby match at UL. Photos will be uploaded soon. It was a beautiful sunny day and I must admit it felt like being in England again. The shouts from the crowd were just as humorous and pointed. The team played really well and won by an excessive margin. Photos coming soon.

I have also been working on my weight loss and fitness goals. I have lost 10lbs so far (since March 1st) and am loving how it feels. Thirty-five to go. Aiming for sometime in July to complete this goal. Feel free to hold me to this! I have been working out most days and writing down everything I eat. I have been using ‘Lose It!’ on my iphone (a free app) and it’s keeping me on track. I put in everything I eat, even the stuff I shouldn’t be eating. It keeps track of calories and protein/carb/fat ratios. I’m a sucker for information.

I have updated some other goals as well. My business plan is complete, and a few other things are started.

I have just started on the 45 healthy meals and have decided I need help. Do you want to send me your favorite healthy meal? I’d love to publish it. I’d put it together in a free ebook and give you credit (and a link). I think it would be fun that way…

I’m about to start raising money to send an awesome girl to Camp Bon Couer (a summer camp for kids with heart problems)- stand by for more info about this. I know who she is but haven’t met her yet.

If you have any fun, quick challenges I’d love to hear from you. I need some more to complete 45.
