Countdown to Friday!


I am so excited that this session of bootcamp will be over on Friday. I have learned so much about being patient with my body and my journey towards physical fitness. I use to think that I would be able to have the speed and agility of someone much younger than myself but what this camp has taught me this time is to take it one camp at a time and to celebrate my accomplishments on my own terms. This time I was able to sprint up hills without being the last one to reach the top, jog six miles without ever stopping to walk, get through an intense step or kick boxing class and feel good when it's over and so many other milestones. I am deeply grateful to my instructor who doesn't charge an arm and a leg for her camp but who has a passion for what she does.

On Saturday we graduate. We are having a potluck dinner at the studio. I am making my homemade pound cake which I have absolutely perfected. It is, I am serious, delicious. I am also making my famed Crandaddie cookies from my new company Gimme Some Shugah which are, I promise, irresistible. By the way, what do you think of the name Gimme Some Shugah for my cookie company? Please post your commments. Lastly, I am making my slammin' turkey meatballs! I'll post some pics. You'll enjoy tasting with your eyes!

In the meantime, I look forward to having breakfast with my sister and daughter on Friday morning.

  1. That pound cake sounds so good. I'm not sure about the sugar part of the name. I think it is because it focuses on the sugar in the cookie. Some may not think that it is healthy to eat. We know cookies have sugar in them but no one wants to think about it.
