Darci's Dirty Thirty Wish

I have my first race, ever, this weekend. A big 10k with Darci, Amanda, and Molly.

Darci wanted to do this for her 30th birthday-- run through caves in Kansas City. What a dreamer. The things we do for our friends. :)

The good news is that the caves should be about 60 degrees.

The bad news is that anything less than 75 degrees is too cold for me, I haven't ran more than 3 miles at one time in the last week, and I've never ran a race before.

No goals over here, but to finish. Maybe tape a little Debbie Cake to Molly's back to keep me runnin'.

With all of that being said, will everyone just pop over to Darci's blog  or her instagram (darci_spear) today and wish her a Happy Dirty Thirty. She is one of my favorite people and closest friends.

Happy 30th Dar-say! Me love yew.

And after this weekend, I am getting my rear back in gear with another DietBet. Courtney from Journey of a Dreamer hosted one in December. There was over $7k in the pot. All of the winners who lost 4% of their body weight got to split the pot ($52 for Big Holly). This time, she wants us to get ready for Spring Break. And there is a bigger buy-in ($35) and more at stake to win.




If you're interested in playing along or seeing how it works, click HERE. It's really easy. You pay the website your buy-in money, they send you a code word to take a picture of the scale and verify your weight, then you play along with a pool of people. The great thing is that you can choose to keep your weight and pictures private. At the end of the four weeks, you are given another code word to put on a piece of paper next to the photo you take of yourself on the scale to verify your final weight. Anyone that hits their 4% goal gets to split the pot. It's really fun, I hope you join! It starts Feb 4th. Courtney will be hosting a weekly weigh in for those participating on her blog HERE. :)



And if you're browsing around online this weekend, check out Kiki La Rue. It's an online boutique filled with lots of stylish and unique pieces. Everyone is loving the tunics and piko tops right now. Kiki La Rue also offers plus size clothing and fun accessories. I promise that you will get personalized service and a real person on the other end of the phone. Visit the website HERE.


Happy Friday, Friends!

  8. 60 degrees is chilly, I would agree. But it is a hell of a lot better than the 20-30 degree weather we have been having. I've never been in the caves before, but it should be a lot of fun! Relatively speaking of course since we are talking about a six mile race here.

  12. So help me out.....I weigh 130-135 depending on the time of the month and if I've been scarfing enough food for a pack of polar bears. What would 4% of my body weight be? I just might want to do this.

    I might have to do the diet bet again, even though I failed bigtime over the last one. But I just joined WW (again), and I am motivated to lose weight for when go backstage at the NKOTB concert this summer.
