my first BYOC!

here it is....yahoo!

1-What was your favorite cartoon as a kid? Is it still on today?

hmmmm...this is hard, i wasn't a huge cartoon girl but I would have to say the smurfs. there was something really fun about living in their special and small/little world.

2-Describe your favorite piece of clothing.

i LOVE scarves. unfortunately, my best gf busted me out and counted mine. i have approx. 56. i know, i know, that is crazy but i love them and can't help it!

yoga pants. wear them EVERY weekend.


3-In the hopes of convincing Summer to arrive – I’m asking this question. Name a summer tradition you currently have or a tradition you want to start for every summer.
in c-h-i-c-a-g-o, street fests are the thing to do in the summer so i would have to stay street fests are def. a sign that summer is in full effect.

4-For all of the newbie bloggers out there getting to know everyone – let’s answer this one. How long have you been blogging, what is your theme and how did you pick your name? Why did you start blogging? What kind of blogs are your favorite to read and follow?
i am brand new blogger. i have been creeping on blogs since 2010 (when i had my surgery). i decided in february (of 2013) it was finally time to give back to all of the people who have helped me on my journey (which is clearly not over yet). my theme is pretty straight forward and i picked my name because being a size 8 is my goal and i will get there!

i love "bandster" blogs. there is something very comforting knowing there are others out there that are fighting the same fight as i am.

5-Repeat question: Summarize your week in blogland and in real life for us:
the week in real life was okay. i was sick (ugh-strep throat) and i am now finally starting to feel a little better. needless to say, being sick did not help me in the "good" food choices dept. time to get back on track with the protein, etc.

blogland was good too! read tons of blogs, i just need to make an effort to blog at least 3 times per week.
