Will Easter go away?
Ok I am starting this new thread to earn an extra bonus as well as a chance to talk about challenges. Just when I thought I was all through with the Easter candy it reared it's ugly cotton tail. Is anyone else struggling with food challenges? Saying no to candy is a real temptation for me.

Getting organized
One of my biggest challenges has been trying to get my spare room aka; office, craft and clothes closet room organized.

Blizzard help
Ok, we are in the middle of the blizzard and I am trying not to eat all the comfort food in the next 2 days that we are snowbound. Help! Any suggestions? 60 + mile per hour winds and snow so heavy I can't see the house across the street. What's a girl to do but read a book and eat chocolate chip cookies?

I am a practicing Catholic but I am also Irish so we have a healthy sense of humor, especially in regards to our Faith. That being said, this book is absolutely hilarious. It is not a religious book. It…

Start of a new week
Happy Easter to everyone celebrating today. I started off at the gym this am and was able to get 1.6 miles in along with some weight training.

Challenge suggestions?
Anyone have a fun suggestion for a challenge this week? I am trying to up the incline on the treadmill while completing a 30 minute walk. It is amazing how many more calories you burn when you increase the incline.
