Back From The Walk!!!!
I know you can barely control your excitement!
It was a PERFECT day today. Everything went swimmingly.
Danada Forest Preserve is just beautiful.
We had an OK turn out. WHERE WERE YOU?!!!!!
There were about 25 walkers but we raised over $4,000!!!!! That is DOUBLE what was expected of us.
I am really tired. I sat down ONCE in the end and I only had a Yogurt To Go ALL DAY.
I have a few pictures but I'm not too happy with them. LOL That would be the photographer in me. I wish I would have taken more but I was FAR TOO BUSY socializing.
I got samples out the ying yang and I am VERY happy about that. I even got extra Tshirts.
We really had a great time and I am hoping that Crystal decides to do this again next year.
And if you didn't go this year...YOU SUCK! You BETTER be there NEXT TIME!!!!

I enjoyed to walk too. I was very disappointed in the turn out though. It's amazing how many people are so into this site and asking advice but don't find it in themselves to support each other and the bigger picture. I guess that's why obesity remains a problem....even obese people don't care enough to help each other. Sad.
Ya know, for the time we had to organize, it was really a great turn out. The $$ is more important than the number of people. That $$ is going to research and education and it is just FANTASTIC that we made as much as we did.
Yes, it is a shame that more people didn't come. They missed a great time. Lots of freebies! LOL I have enough Vitaballs for a couple months.
Next year, we will be expecting more. Next year, we're starting NOW!
