Healthy Living Progress

Hi everyone!  So its been a couple of weeks since I started my new diet and I wanted to check in. I have been working out three to four times a week and I can already see it working! I can see the definition in my arms from all of those push ups! I am toning up and I love it! But, the crazy thing is I have gained a couple of pounds. Maybe its all the Ramona Pinot Grigio I’m drinking!  I know it is Fashion Week and there are a lot of events and parties so that is most likely the reason for the little gain but any tips? How is everyone else doing? I love to hear all of your input and progress!

Amazing Email in Response to My Rachael Ray Appearance

Dear Ramona:
This is a photo of my children’s choir at 6 AM warming-up to sing with
the great Susan Boyle on the Today Show.
We were formed for the invitation as I had just retired in June from
teaching music in the Yonkers Public Schools
where my a cappella choirs have done a great deal of performing for
many years.
I needed to become an LLC and get an ID and a tax# and every time I
thought about it I gave up.
You told me what to do in one easy lesson and I was an LLC 10 minutes
later and I still have my $50.
I know what fork to use and I donate my daughter’s stuffed animals and
that is my own hair in the photo (turned white
at the age of 40 – a long time ago) but,  YOU helped give birth to the
Hudson River Children’s Choir LLC.
Thank you and thank you again for expert business advice.
I was going to give up on the Real Housewives after the Gate-crashers
from DC but I will watch for you because who
knows what else I could learn from you?  I can always mute the silly
stuff.
