If there is anyone I have missed, please let me know ASAP. And I know there are several of you that are still planning doing the contest, just get me your $10 as soon as you can! At the end of the contest, we will have a raffle drawing (location TBA) and any of you are welcome to come and join in on the drawing. I will think of something fun, if you have any ideas, let me know.

One more week until the challenge officially begins! So far we have nearly 40 people who are joining the challenge. Yea! However, I have only received a handful of entry fees, so remember to get me your $10 entry fee by next Sunday and keep spreading the word, get your friends and relatives involved! You can mail your cash or check to: 304 N. Pinedale Way, Eagle, ID 83616. If you are a Y member, feel free to put in my mailbox downstairs. If you are sending a check, I won't be cashing it until probably a week before the raffle drawing. If you would like me to cash it sooner, just let me know.

Also, I posted another yummy recipe on the holiday recipe page: Sour Cream-Raspberry Swirl Loaf. Check it out. It can be frozen up to two months and would make a great friends and neighbors gift.

The holidays are almost here! Ready or not, here comes the baking, decorating, holiday parties, holiday shopping, family traditions, etc, etc. I love this time of year and all the magic it brings. However, it is also a time for many of us when our priority for exercise can unfortunately, get pushed down on the list of things to do. With all of the extra calories consumed during this time, not to mention the stress that goes along with the season, this is the time of year when we need exercise the MOST! So in an attempt to keep you all motivated to stay consistent with your exercise routines, There's Snow Better Time To Exercise is back again, bigger and better than last year.
