Still Alive and Coming Soon

I am alive and still here. Now that that’s out of the way…

It’s been a pretty crazy two weeks in our household. And not even the normal “new baby home” crazy. It also hasn’t all been good crazy, but everyone is good now. Things are settling into place, and with that, I’m trying to get things rolling back here when it comes to eating right, exercising and blogging.

I’ve put some things off for a while, that I’m going to try and use this time now to push myself to do them. For starters, coming soon includes a review of GoTape, a Liebster Award post, some Friday Fives and even a new blog layout. I also want to enter some more reviews on BibRave. Love that site. We may even see a book review or two and a giveaway when I reach 1,000 Twitter followers (currently 984!).

I’ve also joined a Diet Bet with Eat, Drink & Be Skinny. Join me if you want. Get some support for losing those pounds and some monetary incentive to go with it. Currently 13,895 monetary incentives to go with it. If you haven't seen these before (I've never done one, it's my first) the basic premise is everyone puts in a certain amount. Your goal is 4% of your weight lost in 4 weeks. Everyone who makes it gets their money back. The ones who don't... their money gets split by all the ones who did. For a longer (read: better) explanation, see the official "How it works". The bet does start tomorrow (August 6), so don’t wait if you want to join in.

That’s all I have for here. Short and sweet. Now, time to go have one last sweet before the Diet Bet begins.  ;-)

    1. Thanks. Just need to finish wrapping up some of them. And I just past 1,000, so need to figure out the logistics for the giveaway too!

    1. Thanks. I plan to be back in on them this week. I was going to last week, but Thursday night I thought it was only Wednesday, so no post was written, haha.

  4. Good luck on your diet bet! I just heard of this because my husband started doing it and I have to submit the pictures of him on the scale. It is really helping him stay focused! It is also good, because if he hits his goal early he will have to maintain.

    1. Thanks. I had only first seen it recently too, but missed out on one, because I knew it would end about the time my son was born, so jumped on this one when I saw it.
