SMT #47 and A Camp Wrap Up

I'm so happy to be taking part in the Show Me Thursday over at Sassy Cheryl's Blog. For a chance at a free Sassy Cheryl's image, all you have to do is post what you've got going on in your work space or your life over on the Sassy Cheryl's Blog.  It's great fun  having a nosey in everyone's life. You never know what you'll see or learn.

I have a group of friends that I made over on the Weight Watcher's board on a group called the 10K Challenge. They were online friends to begin with, but in the Spring of 2004, I had a couple that came for a visit. In the Spring of 2005 there were 5 of us and that was the year Camp Taz was born. My nickname is Taz(think of the Tasmanian Devil). The first camps started as a long weekend in the spring of each year. Now it's a semi-annual event and lasts from Wednesday through til the next Tuesday. We spend the week preparing points friendly and very healthy Weight Watcher foods, truly discussing the Program and walking, kayaking, laughing, dancing, and even playing the Wii.  It's a twice a year kick in the seat of the pants and a chance to refocus. With the exception of one(she's only 40 and got in being the neighbor of one of our Posse members), we're all now 60 or older, but you'd never know it. I'm going to  post pictures with captions of pictures from this past week's camp. It ended today, and I have to say that it was a huge success.

Chicken Piccata and No Noodle Lasagna and a Salad Dessert was a French Apple Tart that didn't stay on the plate long enough to photograph.
