Blood Drive "Thank You" Luncheon

Very sweet of our company to host a Lasagna Lunch for us Blood Donors today. I have been taking my iron and I am looking forward to our next blood drive. Today, it was all about HOME MADE Lasagna, Caesar Salad, French Bread, Peach Cobbler and Ice Tea! Yum Yum.

I hope I win a door prize...we shall see! *Crosses Fingers*

Donate Blood-Save Lives!

As you all know, I like to donate blood and have been a member of Commit For Life for almost 2 years now.

When you click this link there is a ticker that shows how many people need blood donations. I was on the site doing some reading and after only a handful of minutes I was already at 154 people. WOW!

The last 2 times I went to donate I was unable to do so because I am anemic and my iron levels were too low. I knew donation time was around the corner and I have been eating lots of good foods high in iron and other vitamins.

It worked, I was able to donate today!
I was also glad my Life Coach donated with me today and I think that it is great our company holds these Blood Drives.


Time for Water and Grapefruit!

*They gave us Juice & Cookies* but...
the package of cookies had more calories than my whole lunch so I opted for my grapefruit at my desk. I have a wedding in less than 2 months and I need to drop some LB's.

More on that topic later.

I will have Christmas Party pictures to post for tomorrow's WW!
