Taking It Off for Monkey

Do you see that pretty button?  Guess what it means?  I, Zgirl, am challenging Travis over at I Like to Fish to a weight loss challenge.  BUT, here is the deal, I NEED YOUR HELP.

We are going to go head to head.  And everyone knows that men lose faster than women.  Which means, I HAVE TO BUST MY FATASS GLUTEUS MAXIMUS to win.  My Smackers know I HATE TO LOSE.  So I know that you are going to support me right?


Here is the details of said challenge.  We go head to head, starting TODAY.  The challenge ends June 30th.  Why June 30th Zgirl?  We are doing this challenge for Monkey.  WHO IS MONKEY?

Meet Monkey.  See that precious little face?  She stole my heart.  She beautiful.  She perfect.  She's 16 months old.  She has cancer.  Did your heart just skip a beat?  Mine did.  Did your stomach turn over?  Mine did.  Did you feel that sting in your eyes as you fought back tears?  Plenty of those have flowed from mine.  Having a baby in the house makes this all the more real for me.  Every time I see that precious little face I can't help but see my own little princess.  I don't know if it's because we have been calling Khylee Monkey Princess since she came home or just those big brown eyes, or what...but this baby wieghs heavy on my heart every day. 

So, Travis and I are going to get our readers to sponsor our weight loss challenge to raise money for Monkey.  Any amount is fine.  A penny, a dime, a dollar per pound lost.  (Kind of like when we used to get people to sponsor jump rope for heart when we were kids.)  I cannot lose this though, so I need your help.  Travis will lose more weight than me for sure.  MEN SUCK.  Just sayin'.  So I have to work harder, work smarter, and need your pledges!

Just look at that sweet face.  ALL of the money Travis and I raise goes to MONKEY.  The Mission Monkey on my sidebar just below the Take it off for Monkey button is linked directly to a paypal for The Pixie Family.  This family is going to need all the support we can give them.

I want to help Monkey.  AND I WANT TO WIN.  Help Monkey won't you?  PLEASE!   

As an added incentive, and since this is a weight loss challenge, whoever pledges the most to support me gets a BRAND NEW healthy cookbook from Williams-Sonoma compliments of Think Tank Momma.  (Told ya'll, I HATE TO LOSE!)

Every Monday I will post my weight losses and what I did to get that loss.  

LOVE TO ALL MY SMACKERS!
