Weight in for week 2 is bright and early on Thursday morning. I wonder who will be this week's biggest loser??

One week down, 11 to go!!

Meet Auburn's Biggest Losers! Bob Jackson (top left) dropped out of the challenge. Keith Turner was out of town and is not in the above picture. We were lucky enough to get Kim Palaferri to join us in the middle of week 1, bringing us to a total of 8 contestants!!

After the first week of calorie counting, nutrition consulting, early morning bootcamps and a field trip to the grocery store, they lost a grand total of 33 lbs. I am so proud of them all and can't wait to watch them get closer and closer to their goals!! Keep it up!

Go Team Blue Skies!!

Last year, Kyle Bryant originated the idea of Ride Ataxia - riding his three-wheeled cycle from San Diego to the annual National Ataxia Foundation meeting in Memphis. It took two months to get there, and in the process he raised $40,000 to fund Ataxia research and he raised awareness of the disease. He's riding to the annual meeting again this year with the hopes of raising more money and awareness, and some of my family members are joining him! For this trip, they'll leave from Sacramento on March 15 and arrive in Las Vegas on March 28.

Why is this important to me? Well, Brianne Konanz is my sister-in-law, Cheri Martin's, sister. Brianne has Friedreich's Ataxia. Please take a moment to look at the teams' blog: http://rideataxia.blogspot.com/. If you are interested in making a donation, here is the link: http://www.firstgiving.com/rideataxia

Thank you!
