The Lean Cuisine Challenge & Skinny Cow Challange!

Well, my dear friend Shelby Barone & her husband Steve are doing the 31 Day Lean Cuisine Challenge & I have decided to be a challenge buddy/supporter with my friend Shelby.

So, tomorrow I will join her on her Lean Cuisine adventure. I’m not positive I will be able to bring myself to post myself in a bikini like she did here……. http://www.feltstories.com/ . Maybe after a week of the program…. we will just see! I will most definitely be able to tolerate the Skinny Cow snack part of this program. I LOVE SKINNY COW PRODUCTS!!! I buy them all the time already but I confess I always don’t always eat just one, defeating the low calorie benefit of the lovely delicious product!

With my pre-menopausal symptoms in full swing, the weight gain has been VERY unpleasant and torture on my poor aching joints. So, here I go…..I will have Lean Cuisine for Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner. This will be interesting for me, for sure. I don’t normally use the microwave for cooking or meals of any kind because it concerns me but I am willing to give anything a try right now. So, tomorrow morning I will weigh my large post Holiday rear end & reluctantly post the ugly results for all to see.

Sooooooooooo, I shall be back tomorrow with my embarrassing weight & the beginning of my part of the challenge to decrease the size of my big butt & support my friend!

If you have any successful weight loss stories or menopausal weight success stories we would love to hear about it! Please, leave a comment below! If you have an Lean Cuisine stories, I would love to hear about that too!
Wish me LUCK!!!


The sad part about this picture is that the cow has a better waist line than I do to start!

I supposed that I should mention that I am NOT getting paid, receiving any compensation or free products for this challange. My lovely friend Shelby however is getting paid.

My heart simply just goes out to my dear freind Shelby Barone........

I have blogged about my dear friend Shelby Barone and her web-store Glitterful Felt Stories before. She is the lovely woman who makes and sells felt stories to help pay for her son's bi-weekly blood transfusions he needs because of Leukemia.

Shelby's home was just hit in the Storms of CA by a Tornado & Mud Slides that filled their home with 5 inches of mud. They are OK but their Garage is destroyed and the house reeks of mildew. The kicker is that.... as they were cleaning up this horrid mess they were also getting ready for their 3 year old Tyler's Bone Morrow Transplant today for Leukemia!

Please, Keep them in your prayers!

Our Company is a family owned and operated business with three employee's. It was founded and owned by Shelby Barone. Shelby is a stay-at-home Mom to three precious kids ages 6, 4 and 1. She was a preschool teacher for 6 years before she retired to stay home to raise her children.

She first started making felt stories in college. Sheenjoyed making them so much, that she would make them for all the teachers and classroom's at the school where she taught. She continued to read to her own children with felt pieces. They have enjoyed learning with my felt board stories, that she wanted to share them with other's.....that is when Glitterful Felt Stories began. Her hope is that your children will enjoy them and they will help get them excited about reading!
