What an inspirational day on Saturday! So wonderful to be w/the ladies and their families at The Women’s 4 Miler!! They have raised over 200K for the UVA breast care cancer center and there is still time to give if you haven’t already. Help them reach their goal of 400K and make the largest donation ever to UVA breast care cancer center!

Thank you!

Why is it that no matter how many times I’m told to do these things to lose weight, I can’t seem to stick to it?

So, I am going to grab onto the 4 things that you MUST do to lose weight and see if I can drop more poundage! Check them out too!

Thanks to All You Magazine, here are a few tips that can help with your back to school shopping.

1)Start at Home- You might be suprised to find that you already have many of the supplies that your kids need at home!

2)Leave The Kids at Home- You are less likely to impulse buy or buy while disctracted if the kids are not with you.

3)Make one trip to stores that price match- Stores like Office Depot, Office Max and Staples all have price match policies. So check out all of the sales and head to just one store to save gas and time.

4)Hold out- No one needs 18 new fall outfits on the first day of school. transition summer clothes by layering until stores start discounting their autumn collections.

5)Swap before you shop- In addition to holding a clothing exchange with other parents-or through a website such as zwaggle.com- cosider selling old sports equipment and instruments and using the credit or cash to buy the next size at usedsports.com.

Good luck!

The women’s 4 Miler Training Program continues this Saturday w/a very special program. Survivor Saturday starting at 7:30. Come out and hear from women that have survived cancer. If you are a survivor you are encouraged to attend, you don’t have to be enrolled in the program to attend. They will have pink roses for all survivors and they will take a “survivor lap” where cancer survivors lead the entire group of ladies around the track. I also hear that a local jeweler has donated 5 beautiful silver necklaces with the Breast Cancer ribbon as door prizes for this Saturday. 7:30 at the Park at UVA. I will be there wearing my pink and taking that survivor lap. Please come and join me!
