Editors’ Weekly Round-Up:: Easter, SELF, Sugar and More.

[ 9 ] 04/15/2011 |

Good afternoon!!! Well, maybe it’s NOT so good, but I’m trying to be positive despite this horrible headache I have and the fact that I woke up to this:

The really dumb thing is that we have gotten a few more inches since then!!

**Our very own Lisa and Christy are participating in the ZOOMA race series in Austin tomorrow morning! They are going to be rocking a 1/2 marathon, Lisa’s third and Christy’s second! Wish them luck! Also, the girls are meeting up with another of our Sisters! Ann will be participating in the 5K! Go, ANN!

**Have you heard of the SELF Workout in the Park event? It’s a fun day of health and wellness featuring workouts, beauty and style news, giveaways and more! Buy your tickets on Monday, April 18th and you will receive a special prize! For those of you in the Chicago area, make sure you join our very own Nancy as she covers the event on May 21st! I should probably mention that Ali Sweeney from Biggest Loser will be there, too! Win! Click here for more info on the Chicago event and to see the other dates and locations across the U.S.

**My SugarBusting partner in crime, Karena, is starting on a new challenge for 30 days. She twisted my arm all the way from Belgium and is making me join her in the craziness. Looking to kick your sugar habit? Join us.

**Celebrating Easter? Check out this natural way to make rich, colorful eggs!

**Want to enjoy iced coffee without the ice cubes watering it down? Read more here! Brilliant!

**Have you entered our giveaway of Jillian Michael’s Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism DVD? It ends tomorrow, hurry!

We all know I have a soft-spot for amazing sayings, so I will leave you with this:

It does not matter how slowly you go, as long as you do not stop.

    I find it ironic that I just updated my post to reflect a Monday start, and labeled you MY partner-in-crime. Evil geniuses think alike!

    Love the saying – that should be my mantra!

    Best of luck to our running sisters tomorrow. I’m so excited to cover the Workout in the Park. If I can’t be in Baltimore with you guys, I’m glad I can be in Chicago for Shrinking Jeans.
