Happy Healthy Monday
Okay I really don’t have that much to say because I sound like a broken record. Still need to get my crap together before I hit the 300lb mark. So I am just going to say a few things.
I am not doing the blogging carnival because I will not get my face on camera, eww, too fat. So I hope I get to see a bunch of you tonight!
I will be having a summer kickoff , Fit and Center, starting the week of June 28th. Hopefully I will have some good giveaways. So keep checking back.
Alaina Frederick is relaunching a website, Adventures in {Baby} Food and I am helping her with the site. We are having a Food Tossin’ celebration starting the 14th with tons of giveaways. So be on the look out. Also if you are interested in being a featured writer for the site go fill out the form.
Hope everyone has a good week. Here is your recipe.

That recipe looks great. And it has CHOCOLATE!
You know, I thought the same thing about getting on camera tonight. But then I thought, Mamavation Sista’s don’t judge! Who cares if I didn’t have make up on and my hair was thrown up… I didn’t actually go on. I added to my post last minute and cameras were full. But I was ready 🙂
Keep your head up! We’re here for you!
The recipe looks yummy!
As far as getting on camera I was a little nervous about it but, then thought this is about me, I wanna get fit. I need to start facing my fears so I can get healthier. If that means the poor sista’s have to stare at my ugly mug for an hour than so be it! Lol. I started to feel alot less nervous as time went by! Hang in there and reach out to us were all in the same boat.
Karla, I want to see you on camera. We all do! Please get on in the future. Have a great week.
