Im losing weight

So I weighed myself this morning and I am down six pounds.  That makes 2 pounds per week.  I am very happy with that.  I have lost fast in the past and gained it all back plus some.  This time I am trying to lose slow and see if I can keep it off.  Go me!!

The Soul Surfer lending a helping arm

My daughter and her friend watched the movie Soul Surfer.  I have not seen this movie but my daughter really liked it.  She and her friend decided that they wanted to base a fund raiser on that movie.  They decided to donate any money they made to the Make a Wish Foundation.  The idea behind their project was simple really, they would find sponsors, and the sponsors would agree to pay them a certain amount for every hour they went around with their hand tied behind their backs.  They called it lend a helping arm.  I was surprised at how many girls made it the entire 9 hours with the use of only one arm.  They raised almost $200.00 to give to the Make a Wish Foundation.  I was very proud of my daughter, I know at times she was discouraged by this event but she stuck with it and got it done.


That is all
