Today I have a Hero Arts card to share. This was inspired by the "A Cut Above" class by OnlineCardClasses.com. It has lots of great die-cutting and card ideas and you can still join in on the fun.

I also have a Hero Arts Giveaway to celebrate my new blog design and to thank you for visiting! For a chance to win just comment on this post. For an extra chance to win become a follower with Google Friend Connect. The winner will be announced on Sunday, May 6.

Confession: My weight has been a struggle for me since before I was a teenager. I have tried just about every diet you can imagine. I have had some small successes in the past, but they were short-lived. The weight kept coming back and then multiplying.

Last Saturday I embarked on a commitment to diet and exercise in an effort to improve my overall health. I'm normally a very private person, but my hope is that blogging about this will help keep me focused on my goal.

I walked for 20 minutes each night. I also followed the Weight Watcher's Points Plus Program. We made several healthy meals, including fish, which we rarely make at home. My husband Stephen found the recipe for butter herb baked fish on Cooks.com. Note: You can use less butter than the recipe suggests. Also be sure to crush the saltines up really well.

After one week I lost 0.4 lbs. The scale wasn't especially generous, but I'm not going to let that get me down.

I would love to hear your slimming secrets and words of encouragement. Thanks for listening and I'll be back tomorrow with some stamping.

Hugs,

Please take a moment to check out my new blog design and tell me what you think! It was designed by Banner Blvd Designs. Very reasonable pricing and quality workmanship if you're in the market for a new blog design!

I'll be back tomorrow with a new feature on my blog! See you soon!

Hugs,
