Another WW Milestone

This one took a long time to get.  My weight loss has been stuck for a couple of weeks but today I hit WW milestone.  I hit the -25lbs mark.  In fact I hit -27.8So that's a grand total of -37.5 this year!

This just makes starting Golds even more exciting!

Team Gold!


This week I am starting a 12 week Biggest Loser Challenge at Golds Gym.  We will be competing with 3 other teams. Each week, at the end of the second session trainers will asses participant progress with a body fat analysis, weigh in, and body measurements. Prizes will be awarded to the three challenge contestants who lose the most body fat – this will be determined by assessing beginning and final body fat compositions and analyzing the percentage of fat mass loss.

I am on Team Gold along with two other teammates. Our trainer (Mike for Team Gold) will create specific exercise and nutritional programs, and provide exercise and nutritional counseling. As a team, we will receive 24 personal training sessions with Mike one of Gold’s elite trainers, nutritional guidance, and a complimentary, all-inclusive 3-month membership to Gold’s Gym.

I'm excited about the whole process.   Here's hoping I'm a big loser!

What does one do with a 1/2 bushel of peaches

We picked up some peaches on our way home from PawPaw last weekend.

Quick Boil them to loosen the skins
Drop them in a fast ice bath
Peal and Cube them
Bag them up and freeze. Man are they going to taste good this winter!
