Actually, it would be more dramedy (drama-comedy), but then again, I think most people have lives like that!

Would you like to win EA Sports Active?

Check out what she has has to say
EA Sports Active – 30 Day Challenge Giveaway
by admin - Jennifer on June 18, 2009
I never thought I would see the day that I would actually look forward to exercising. In fact if you would of told me I would feel that way with EA Sports Active I would have laughed at you and called you crazy. Now I am coming forward to say that I do indeed look forward to the days of exercising. And it’s all thanks to EA Sports Active.
I am now half way through the 30 day challenge and I have never felt better and more energetic in my life! I started on easy as I haven’t exercised in a long time and definitely nothing like what I do in EA Sports Active. I actually feel good about myself and am becoming more of a healthy person by making choices about what I should and shouldn’t eat and drink.
It’s not going to be easy. I decided to make a routine of always using EA Sports Active in my exercising. You would not believe how much there is to do with this program. I started on easy to get my body conditioned to being active, and will complete the first 30 day challenge. After that one is over, I will start a second and go up one level and also start cutting out all that is hindering me in getting in shape like soda and eating only one meal and lots of it. (Going on vacation this weekend and I always blow my diets on vacation that is why I didn’t cut anything out during this first 30 day challenge). Then after the second is completed I will start a third go round on hard and really start toning my body! I am so excited to finally have something that works.
It is great having the trainer on the screen helping you out as you push yourself to new levels. That may be the one thing that keeps me going, having someone tell me that I am doing good. Of course that same trainer also hears my wrath when she says “Your legs will thank you for this” to which I am embarrassed to say that I spew back some not nice words, as if she could hear. My husband thinks it is funny that I yell at the TV.
Speaking of my husband, he is very intrigued by this program and the fact that I have stuck with it and look forward to doing it. So much so that he will be getting into shape along with me during the next 30 day challenge. And we are super excited about going down this path together.
My greatest accomplishment in just the 15 days that I have been exercising with EA Sports Active is the fact that I can actually run just because I don’t normally run! In the beginning I was a huffin’ and a puffin’ and would walk the rest of the way, but not anymore. I can run with no wheezing and with energy left to spare. I am most proud of myself for that. And while I have lost 3 pounds (would be more if I had cut out the soda that does absolutely nothing for me) my aim is for at least another 20 and then for the first time in my life I will not only be healthy and fit but so very happy with the progress I have made.
I would love to help one of the Dirty Shirt readers on this same path by hosting a giveaway to win one EA Sports Active game as shown below:
Includes EA Sports Active game for the Wii gaming system, a resistance band and one leg strap.

I have a project of my own to do...
I just found out that my youngest sister is having her first baby in November! I am so excited! She lives in California though, so I'm trying to come up with a great virtual baby shower gift that I hope you can all help me with. What I'd like to do is gather great first-time mom advise from all the great moms I know are out here and put it together in an ebook just for her. Please leave me your best piece of advice for a new mother, whether it's something someone else told you or something you learned on your own. I think it would be a lot of fun to put together for her. Please help me out and leave your comments here!
Thanks!
Nanci
Thanks!

Hi!
Hey all! I just wanted to let you know that I haven't forgotten my blog. It's just the end of the school year and I feel like I've been spending all my time running kids around, helping get projects done, finishing up Cub Scout stuff, and still trying to find time to work and get the house clean. I can tell you though that the house cleaning has fallen by the wayside (as usual!) but we are almost done with school (June 4!) and that soon I will have more time to devote here. Don't worry! I will be back!

Thank you!
I just wanted to acknowledge my followers. You are an amazing bunch of women with incredible blogs of your own and yet you have taken the time to come and check out mine. And not just flitter by, but actually stop and take the time to follow mine. I think that's great! I'm still getting over the fact that I have followers besides my mom (who, funnily enough is not a follower cuz she's not figured it out yet. I really need to go show her!). Thank you ladies. If you get a chance, read the blogs of some of these wonderful women!
