TUNE IN: “Hollywood Habitat for Humanity” on DIY Channel – Sunday, May 11th

During last year’s Jimmy Carter Work Project in Los Angeles, DIY was filming a special featuring all our amazing Habitat for Humanity partner families and volunteers from all over the world.  The entire experience was so fulfilling and I can’t wait to see the special.  Nannette Barrutia produced the special for Weller Grossman and I had the privelidge of working with she and her crew all week.   Loved them!

The special is hosted by Amy Matthews & Karl Champley and will show the homes built from the ground up as well as some special homes being repaired as part of Habitat for Humanity’s “A Brush with Kindness” program.

So please set your DVRs or Tune In Live on Sunday, May 11 at 9 pm EDT – or check your local listings.  Incidentally, May 11 is the kick off for this year’s, newly named, Jimmy & Rosalyn Carter Work Project in the Gulf Coast.

When was the last time you built with Habitat?  Volunteer today.

After Four Long Months – My Biggest Loser Weigh-in is Tomorrow!

I first wrote about my personal biggest loser competition on January 5th and I can’t believe it’s already time to decide a winner.  Tomorrow I will weigh in with our trainer as will all the gals and we will figure out who our biggest loser is!  We have ten gals in the competition who have all put $100 into the pot.  We will have 3 top winners.  That’s a lot of new jeans if you are #1!!!

When I first weighed in January 5 I was at 139 pounds and 33% body fat.  My goal was set at 127 pounds.  I have definitely worked hard and changed my lifestyle. I hope forever.  At our halfway point I had lost 6 pounds.  A great start!

Last Saturday, I had lost 11 pounds according to my scale so I am quite hopeful to at least place in the top 3.  I have seen my competition and it is fierce!  Tomorrow I’ll post my final numbers and by evening we will know who won.

As far as I am concerned though, I have already won.  I am wearing size 28 jeans and I look awesome!
