Today was my treadmill-a-thon to raise money for my son’s all-star team. I want to start off by saying THANK YOU to all of you who pledged and encouraged me along the way. It means so much more than I can say.
The final tally was 75 minutes and $90 pledged. (I had one very generous [...]
I came up with an idea on Friday afternoon and wrote a blog post about it. You can read it here: A dollar for a good cause. It’s my plan to help raise funds for my son’s baseball team by choosing health over sugar. I am on my way, thanks to some generous donors. But [...]

OK, ladies & gentlemen, I am proud to announce that after a long hard battle, I am officially down 10 pounds since the start of this journey back on January 10. Yes, that is waaaaaaaaay longer than I expected it to take. But you know what? I couldn’t give a toss. I’m happy with it [...]
