Well Friends, yesterday was my 41^st birthday. My husband and girls gave me a wonderful and fun birthday. Purple is my favorite color so of course my girls get purple balloons and steamers. My husband is quite the character, he buys me purple duct tape, pretty funny! He also bought me a very nice simple silver necklace which is perfect for me as I am a pretty simple person. I love popcorn so my daughters bought me a popcorn recipe book, very cool. Popcorn is a perfect snack, high fiber, low calories. On the humorous side, I watch Oprah so my girls bought me Oprah Magazine. We have a tradition of all kids get a small gift on each others birthday. If you have young kids it works like a charm when the girls see their sister getting a bunch a gifts they are not so hurt because they receive a gift too.

 Did you watch The Biggest Loser this week? I think Joelle deserved to go home but I felt bad for Carla. When you want something so bad and another gets in the way it is frustrating.

 I have been trying to speed up my walk and I guess you would call it a light jog. I can go 3 houses then have to slow back to a walk but for me even jogging two feet is a challenge. I see the contestants on The Biggest Loser and they are even heavier than I am and they can jog so I have been doing a little at a time. I started by doing a light jog on my rebounder then progressed to when I walked. It’s easier for me on the rebounder then on cement. Now I know I can do it and that feels pretty good.

 Have a great week end. Stick to your healthy plans, and look for The Biggest Loser Protein in your local grocery store. It tastes great and will help you lose weight and feel great with a proper diet and exercise!
