Weekend SHow Off Party 6/8/12 ed

Welcome to the Weekend! 

I am so sorry for the technical issues with the party last week, I am keeping my fingers crossed that this week is smooth sailing!

  I also have a pretty HUGE announcement that I am quite nervous to give, the above pictures are me (gasp)... you may have wondered why I do not really posted pictures of myself.  The truth is after kids 1...2...3 arrived, I found myself overweight, discouraged, and uncomfortable with my body.  January of this past year I was determined to change!  I will have way more on this in another post, here is the short version.  I started taking a R.I.P.P.E.D. workout class along with trying to improve my nutrition.  In April they started a R.I.P.P.E.D to Fit challenge, I was starting to lose my weight loss momentum at that time, so I thought the challenge would be just the motivation I needed. I was flabbergasted when I found out that I made it as a Top 10 Finalist (so nervous)! I am still on this fitness journey, but it is so exciting to start finally seeing some results! You can see the VIDEO of my RIPPED to FIT journey HERE.  I am so excited that I made it to the top 10 in the RIPPED to FIT Challenge, I would love it if you would VOTE for me on the R.I.P.P.E.D facebook page HERE!

 Anyway enough about me onto some features! Lady Behind the Curtain shared the CUTEST Patriotic Cookie Dippers, I am a sucker for anything Red White and Blue!

 Baking with Blondie made some delicious {and Healthy} chicken tacos!

And the Blog of the week is The Winnish Blog!  I always look forward to Winnie's yummy and interesting recipes each week! 

This week she shared a delicious Sweet Potato and Red onion Foccacia.  One of the reasons I love blogging is meeting people from all over the world!
