Tonya's new yoga mat bag

How cute is this!! Another gift for a friend who has so graciously taught a workout class at our church for free. Pattern from Lotta Jansdotter's Simple Sewing. Sorry the pic's weren't working before. Hopefully this will do it.

Self Magazine 2008 Challenge

I am up for the challenge. With my 10 year high school reunion quickly approaching, the thought that comes and goes about eating better and exercising more, finally leads to change. I joined Self Magazine's 2008 Challenge. It is mainly about getting healthy and reaching your happy weight. I am inspired by the pre-planned meals and exercise routines that don't immediately lead to boredom. I am one week in and have had to be extremely disciplined. With people eating nacho's and ice cream sundaes at work to still having some not so great snack food around the house, I strive to find the smaller me. Working out and eating healthy has left me feeling satisfied and upbeat. Anyone interested is heartily invited to join me for all or just part of the challenge. As you eat your fast food this week, keep me in mind.
