Weekend in Review

Robin and I were two very busy little bees this past weekend.  With the weather being absolutely perfect in both California and Georgia we both decided to get out and enjoy it.

Many of you know by now, I am participating in a Get Fit Challenge sponsored by Suwanee Magazine.  As we start to wrap up the 4th month in the competition things are not looking too good for me on the weight loss front.  With my children being out of school for the summer and vacationing, let's just say that I haven't been eating the "right" foods and exercising as much as I should.  And no, exercising two times in two weeks doesn't count.  This past weekend I recommitted to the challenge and to myself to get healthy and fit.  And to kick things off, me and a few of my fellow Get Fitters laced up our shoes and filled our water bottles and took a little hike (2 miles up and down) Stone Mountain.  This was my first time hiking the mountain...heck this was my first time hiking anywhere but boy did I have a GOOD time!  There were some parts of the mountain that were a little tricky and steep but once we reached the top and looked out, it was all worth it.  I had so much fun, I think I will drag one of my kids with me the next time.

You can read more my participation in the Get Fit Challenge here and here.
Event Diva week in review 7-23-2012


So while I was outside hiking and sweating up a storm, my partner in crime (PIC) Robin was out hobnobbing while enjoying some great LIVE music at the Sans Dimas Jazz Fest.  Some of the amazing performers who were there included Kenny G, Kem, Jill Scott, Will Downing, Dave Koz and Charlie Wilson just to name a few.


Style Diva week in review 7-23-2012(2)
From the look at some of her posts on Facebook not only was she enjoying the royal V.I.P. treatment, she was also racking up some great interviews for our blog/show!

I don't know about you, but I can wait to chat with her to get the scoop!

What did you get into this past weekend?


Wishing you a fantastic week!

Living a life full of adventure

For those who know me, know that I love Ali Edwards.  I guess you could say that she is my blog crush.  I love scrapbooking and Ali is the Queen B when it comes to capturing the stories of her family.  Ali is also the creative mind behind One Little Word which you can read more about here.  This year the word that I selected (or maybe it selected me) is Adventure.  For me adventure means taking a chance; doing something new and out of the box.  So to stay true to my One Little Word for 2012 - Adventure, I decided to enter the Suwanee Get Fit Challenge sponsored by Suwanee Magazine.  If selected as one of the participants, I will work with a local fitness facility and health experts to help define fitness goals and set me up with a plan.  Also Suwanee Magazine will follow the participants throughout the program for a year and track their progress.  To enter you just needed to send an email and include pictures or a video.  Of course you know I chose the video (remember I'm stepping out of my comfort zone).  You can find my submission below.

The magazine will notify who the selected few are on February 13th, so keep your fingers crossed for your girl.  I'll keep you posted!
