Tuesday Check In - Week 19

Tuesday, May 13, 2008


I’ve had a busy week working on new buttons and badges for us. I’ve had some requests for announcing you’ve made goal, stayed on plan over the weekend or that you’re just kicking ass so by request, we have new buttons and badges. They are also a bit narrower to accommodate those of you who have limited column width.

For all of our UK team members we now have buttons and badges in STONES and for the rest of the world, buttons and badges in kilograms. Phew! I had a busy week getting all of these ready but it’s worth it. Links to all of these can also be found in the Celebrating Victory section in the side bar under Everything You Need for quick reference. You can find the codes for your blog there too.

Here are a few examples

Just a reminder, Wednesday is the deadline to sign up for the Free Your Y, Fuji Bike that I’m giving away on my site. Don’t miss out; this is a fabulous prize package worth over $400! Our very own Mama Bear June was the lucky winner on another site, you could be the lucky winner on my site!

I’m having a Summer Blog Party on the Scale Junkie site and you’re all invited. Yesterday I blogged an invitation for other bloggers to host the party on their blog for a week and give away a prize and I’ll promote it on my blog. Why? To join in the fun and to increase traffic to your blog, there are so many wonderful bloggers out there and this is a great way to get more people reading your fabulous words. Interested? Check it out on Scale Junkie. Even if you don’t want to host the party, you’re still invited. I’ve already had five people sign up to host the party and there are going to be some great giveaways and contests. Lets making staying on track this summer even more fun!

You’ll notice Mister Linky looks a bit different this week, I’m going to try embedding the sign in right into this post and hope we don’t explode it from all of us signing in. We’ll try it this week and if we decide we prefer the classic sign in, I’ll switch back. Remember, we’re visiting a few people who sign in before and after us, not everyone, we need to save some time for exercise and life!

Let’s get started! I hope everyone has had a wonderful week! To sign in, just fill in your blog name and URL and press ENTER

Good Morning! My apologies to all my HYC blogger friends for my spotty reading and commenting last week while I was on the road. I'll begin catching up this morning!

Getting back in the game after doctor ordered rest. Had lots of salty cravings during my period, so bloated up a bit there, but am back down. Not yet to my lowest, though.

It's rough these days.. have to admit, I haven't weighed in this week and likely won't. My scale is now in a box at the OTHER apartment, leaving me feeling a little out of sorts.

hope everyone else is doing well. I'll have to wait until next week to check out everyone and update my blogroll and google reader. There are so many interesting people to read here!
