Roger Rogers and Quigs nominated me to be one of the 20 Outstanding Women You Should Know in East Central Illinois. It's a local radio contest through the Illini Radio Group. They based their nomination off of the community organizing work that I do as well as my history of volunteering. I was picked as one of the 20 winners. They're doing the announcements at the Working Women's Expo this Thursday at the Holiday Inn in Urbana from 3-7 p.m. Since I have class that night... they have to get to me by 4:30 p.m., so I can pick up X-man and take him to Libbygirl's before I head off to CPR class. However, for those of you who might be interested in going, admission is free and there's some kind of Bacardi cocktail club hour later that evening.
The other secret is that on Feb. 19, I began the Carle Weight Management program. Things are going pretty well, but the program is very strict. It's a lot like food rehab. Some days I'm a champ and other days I feel like I'm struggling. There are four required components of the program and I usually do 3 really well and just squeak in meeting the 4th. I get free stuff if you decide to take the plunge and tell them I referred you... and it's kind of expensive, but howdy ho does it work (although it's not a walk in the park -- no surprise there). So, if down the line you happen to find yourself to be obese -- think of me fondly when you go to your free informational meeting with Amy the nutritionist to check out the program. :-)
So there, I shared.
