Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans "SHRINKVIVOR CHALLENGE"

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You to Kristin over at Delightful Country Cooking She shared with me a great blog last week Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans and well I just had to join their Shrinkvivor Challenge and I have been placed on TEAM BLACK. Welcome my teammates...I can't wait to get to know all of you better (see all of their blogs posted below).

Now you ask what CRAZY MOM would start a food blog (just over a week ago) and then start a diet and on top of that enter a contest, well ME, that's who!

You see almost one year ago on October 2, 2009 (which was my 38th birthday) I joined SHE ROCKS BOOT CAMP and I was determined to loose weight and become my healthiest self ever. Well, I am here to tell you almost exactly one year later (I am getting ready to celebrate my 39th birthday) and I have accomplished only about half of my goals and I am ready for a KICK IN THE BUTT, that's why I am joining in on the Shrinkvivor Challenge.

My before photo and my GREAT progress only 4 months later (and let's just say I am somewhere inbetween now)!

My family and I have become way better eaters, less fast food junkies and eat a lot healthier (and I have learned to LOVE to cook; ie starting a food blog). The fresh ingredients we now use compared to a year ago is amazing! Our family moto is "nothing out of a box, can or jar". I am not saying we are perfect and yes we still LOVE In-n-Out Burger (but who doesn't?). Instead of visiting fast food joints at least every other day (and sometimes two times in one day), we go MAYBE once a week. Instead of eating green beans from a can, did you know you can actually buy them in the produce section FRESH (imagine that)!

So, for the next 7 weeks, starting on September 15, 2010 and ending on November 3, 2010, I will do my BEST to EAT healthy, COOK healthy and POST healthy. I am doing this not only for myself, but hopefully for some of you too. If you are in the mood for some FRESH and HEALTHY recipes, then stay tuned and check back on my posts at MOMS CRAZY COOKING to try some of these amazing recipes.

Here are a few blogs from some of my TEAM BLACK members, so enjoy!
