Well let's get right down to business, shall we?<br /><br />The winner of the $40 Target giftcard was announced on Saturday evening on The Big Weight Facebook page, but just in case you (or the winner) missed that, the lucky person is:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://thekrazycouponlady.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/target-Logo.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://thekrazycouponlady.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/target-Logo.png" /></a></div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Jena Rae!!!!!!</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /> </div><div style="text-align: left;">Jena Rae - please send me an email (thebighweight@hotmail.com) with your full name and address so I can get the goods sent to you as soon as possible :)... hopefully you can take advantage of those after Christmas sales!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /> </div><div style="text-align: left;">With the impending Christmas holiday, I don't know about you, but I've been SUPER busy.  I'm not only behind on my own blog, but I cannot keep up with my other favorites either!  </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /> </div><div style="text-align: left;">By the way, last Friday I had a small gain 0.8 lbs.  I didn't sweat it.   </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">What I am sweating is that this weekend I baked over 300 cookies (for gifts, not for me!!).  So, what I want to know from you is this:  <i>is it even possible to bake cookies and not sample them????</i>  </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I started off really well - just kind of focusing on making the cookies, and not dwelling on how awesome they might taste.  Then I transitioned to cookies that I hadn't ever made before, so I wanted to give them a taste.  Ok - no problem.  A small piece of one cookie (then pawning the rest off on to Joel) was no biggie.  But then shortly there after it quickly went downhill.  All day Saturday, and for about 6 hours on Sunday, I baked the following: Oreo balls, Snickerdoodles, Melt In Your Mouth Sugar Cookies, VF's Chocolate Chip Cookies, Buckeyes, Peanut Butter Blossoms and <a href="http://the-big-weight.blogspot.com/2011/12/bhg-fudgy-cappuccino-crinkles.html">Fudgy Cappuccino Crinkles</a>. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /> </div><div style="text-align: left;">Let's just say that from Monday to Thursday, I have to be ON POINT with the Points+ counting.  I mean, at this point, I may very well have a gain on Friday as it is, but I am going to try very hard to redeem myself from this weekend's self-sabotage.  Lord help me!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Thankfully all those cookies are tucked safely in my deep freezer... hard as rocks by now :).</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: left;">I'll leave you all with this:  </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigyoWlB0MxYbQZ7_ruT29ROYz0WgKYqz_5MnefRv-tzjrmakALotFGKmCUTlApfBZm-xY_v1auFDOIgKGUF6LMX_r-pYq1c7K0HcyJ7jdyoiNH00g3VhTHL4dwAyxfuNOmI2EtKJBwsv8/s1600/hair.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigyoWlB0MxYbQZ7_ruT29ROYz0WgKYqz_5MnefRv-tzjrmakALotFGKmCUTlApfBZm-xY_v1auFDOIgKGUF6LMX_r-pYq1c7K0HcyJ7jdyoiNH00g3VhTHL4dwAyxfuNOmI2EtKJBwsv8/s320/hair.JPG" width="294" /></a></div><br />For 4 hours on Friday, Kim at <a href="http://ladolcevitalaplata.com/">La Dolce Vita Salon</a> changed my hair color from blonde to purple.  Love love love!<br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>

Well friends, in honor of my recent "20+ pounds removed" weight loss goal, I've decided to host a giveaway in its honor, and in yours as well. <br /><br />Now, normally I like to keep the giveaway value in line with the total weight lost - <a href="http://the-big-weight.blogspot.com/2011/09/starbucks-giftcard-giveaway.html">last time</a> it was a $10 giftcard for reaching the 10 pounds removed goal.  This time it should be $20 right?  Consistency can be fun.<br /><br />You might remember how I was complaining about feeling guilty for <a href="http://the-big-weight.blogspot.com/2011/12/weekend-recap-1-day-late.html">spending so much money</a> on myself?  Well, it's time to pay it forward!  What better time than <i>now </i>to spread the holiday cheer.<br /><br />But first - allow me to give credit where credit is due.<br /><br />Thank you all SO MUCH for your support throughout these last several months.  It's shocking to me that I even have regular readers.  I mean, seriously, look at how long (on the left) it took me to make some real progress around here!  It's amazing that you've even stuck around.  I'm supposed to be a weight <i>loss </i>blogger, not weight-maintaining-but-really-need-to-lose-it-blogger.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://thekrazycouponlady.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/target-Logo.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://thekrazycouponlady.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/target-Logo.png" /></a></div><br /><br /><i>Promise me</i> that if you win the <b>$40 Target Giftcard</b> that you will spend it on yourself!  You deserve it, I'm sure of it!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><b><i>Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the LORD your God which He has given you.</i></b> - <i><b>Deuteronomy 16:17</b></i></div><br />Here are the conditions for winning (U.S. & Canadian residents only please):<br /><br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">1. Leave a comment here telling me what you're most excited about this Christmas season.  It can be a gift you hope you receive, something you're thankful for, the opportunity to travel to see family/friends, etc, etc. <i>This counts as 1 entry.</i><br /><br />2. Like The Big Weight Facebook page & comment on the page letting me know you've done so (handy dandy button on the right to do so).  <i>This counts as 1 entry.</i><br /><br />3. Post about this giveaway on your blog!  Then come back here and leave a comment with the link to your blog entry. <i>This counts as 1 entry.</i></blockquote><br />A winner will be randomly chosen on Saturday, December 17, 2011 at 9 AM - so please hurry :).<br /><br /><i>**While I did contact Target last week about sponsoring a giveaway, they have yet to get back to me.  So, this $40 giftcard has been purchased using my own money, and also because I feel like at this point it is more meaningful for me to provide the card myself than to receive it from Target.</i> <i>I still love you Tar-jay, I just can't wait around forever :).  </i>
