Gretchen.... in a magazine???

Hi all ~ som eof you may remember me. HOWDY! And some of you dont' know me from Eve ~ but I'm back and probably more so very soon. I've finally ordered a computer, it will be here this week and I'm going to spring for internet service at home. so I'll be online before too long. And I NEED the board and the motivations...

And one thing that REALLY made me have to come here this morning and say Hello was that I thought I something about your very own Gretchen in a fitness magazine over the weekend. I can't remember if it was Shape of Fitness (but I'm leaning toward Shape) and there was a reader letter printed there. From a husband in Parker, CO who is SO proud of his wife Gretchen, for losing 40 pounds (with the help of SHAPE) all while raising kids too and just being a superwoman basically. Grechen.... could that have been you?

AND...I do remember that you're near Denver (I think), I'm going to be in Parker...on Feb. 16th!!!! I'll be staying with friends, but we could maybe arrange a lunch or something??

It was an older magazine, well..not OLD, but one month back. I think I finished reading and tossed it, but it was in the front. Letters to the Editor about 20 or so pages into it. Maybe not even that many...

I really thought you were really close to Denver (which Parker is only 10 miles or so, so I thought it was you). Regardless...there's a Gretchen in Parker, CO...with a SUPER sweet husband!!

Well I would be very surprised if my DH were to do something like that. lol Not that he doesn't have his sweet moments but they usually happen by accident.


Hope you keep checking back in Steffy!!

What I'm Reading!

And I thought *I* fell off the face of the earth. hehehe. Glad to see you back. yay on the new computer.


Oh well, if it wasn't Gretchen, I agree with a PP who said she's OUR superwoman. :)


But how cool would that have been anyways? Maybe I'll write in and say, Gretchen is superwoman, just to get it in the zine. hehehe.

Guess what I found as I was going thru my LARGE stack of magazines? Yup, the thing that Steffy was talking about. Just thought I'd post it.


It was from Shape January 2007
