180 pounds!!!! This means I can purchase my next incentive, a stand mixer! Which is awesome because I am going to participate in the MS Mud Run in May.
My readers probably know that I started this journey in May of last year, See here I was 232 pounds and needed to make some changes. So this May, I am hoping to be close to my 160 goal and be in excellent shape so I can run a 10K with military style obstacles. I have committed myself to doing it and will be registering next week when our tax money comes back. I have decided to join a team called Muck You with a new friend who is wonderfully supportive and have asked my little bro to consider doing it as well.
The reason my stand mixer is going to help with this, (I know you were probably confused) is that to fund raise the 100.00 minimum donation I am going to be hosting a "10.00 You Call It Bake Sale" Anyone who donates 10.00 to my Team for this race will be able to choose a delicious baked good made by me. A pan of brownies, batch of cookies or decorated cake for instance. I'm hoping this goes over well because I -love- to bake and this will let me bake, give the goodies away, not gain weight from baked goods, raise money for charity, and take part in this immense and exciting challenge. (I hope lots of people want decorated cakes or cupcakes because I want to make my homemade butter cream in my new mixer)
Do you think my bake sale is a good idea? I figured I could just ask for cash but this way I'm giving them something for their money, and it's delicious. Everybody wins.

I think it is a fabulous idea! I still want one of the hats! What a wonderful thing to wake up to on a Friday! Good for you!
What color do you want amanda? I'll make one for you.
AAAAGh 180 lbs that is so awesome. You are doing a great job and you deserve that reward. So Proud of you. Gracie
I think you should charge $15 for baked goods. It is a fundraiser :)
And WOO HOO on 180!!!!
I'm doing my famous booty shake for your 180. WOO HOO!
What an awesome idea about the bake sale! I have the fancy stand up mixer and LOVE it! You have more will power than I do. If I made baked goods, I'd be eating it while cooking. GRRR!
I think 10 is plenty, personally. I think you should also try to do some sugar free versions, that way maybe you can be an influence on someone else to get healthy!
Nellie.. you are awesome! I am so proud of you to hit that 180!
Ok.. I'm a kitchen nerd and need to know.. what stand mixer are you going to get??
I think the baking for donation is a great idea! I may steal that idea at some point, as I'm thinking about entering a 5K in October that is a charity event. I just hate asking people for money. :)
I think that's a great idea! And way to go on 180 pounds!! That is SO AWESOME!!!
