** BluDomain launches www.bludomain5.com/photo25 ONLY $600.00 until midnight on Thursday. ** Renovate my Body Winner Announced ** Jack is Found
BluDomain Announces "Renovate My Body" winner. The contest: To eliminate sugar completely from your diet for 2 weeks. The prize: A new website- interface 25. 80 people signed on as the week progressed 20 people e-mailed to say they have eaten ice cream, candy, drank alcohol etc... and had to disqualify themselves.
Common things that 60 people reported back with- increased energy levels, craving for sugar almost non existent, everyone had some kind of weight loss and everyone said the challenge was well worth it and they plan to continue. Most of all- everyone said they feel exceptionally good. The weight loss depending on body size ranged from 4 lbs to 14 lbs.
This was the toughest contest yet to judge. Anyone who is dedicated and disciplined deserves kudos. We all know that staying focused, choosing to live a healthy lifestyle and having good eating habits is a very tough fete. We also know that 2 weeks is a short time but it does work!! So thank you everyone that participated it's truly inspiring to see the changes.
We found our winner: Beth Cardwell We are estatic at her results and Beth if you out there e-mail me at kailee@bludomain.com to claim your new interface!
And here's what Beth had to say " I did it!! Two weeks and 2 days totally sugar free. God- I feel GREAT!! I did not eat a drop of sugar (on my honor) No salad dressing (made my own), no food that had the word "sugar" in the label, no junk, no ice cream (that was tough) NOTHING. I could not believe all the foods that contained sugar. It has has seriously opened my eyes to how much sugar goes into our bodies everyday. It is not just in cookies, cakes and pies. The good news- I lost 11 POUNDS! I have dropped a whole pants size. I am certainly not ready for the centerfold of Playboy (although I am sure Hef will call when he sees my pics) but I am on my WAY on getting to my goal weight. As I looked at the before and after pics I actually got misty. My hard work is right there, I can see a difference in just two weeks. Thank you for giving me the huge kick in the butt to take my first goal to the next goal.

Amazing! She looks great!
Jacks' Trip Around the World
Jack has been busy with renovations at the Schmidt Studio and Gallery- opening December 2006. He spent the day inspecting the property, approving lay-outs and writing the list of the renovations that must be done. Also he has taken the task of "Fire Marshall Jack!' As you can see they have kept Jack incredibly busy!
Jack is leaving Kentucky tomorrow. He will travel on a fairly short ride via UPS and will arrive in Orange County, California on Friday where he will be the guests of Doug & Chenin Boutwell.
Jack will have one more photo shoot of his daily adventures tomorrow in his farewell to Kentucky (for now).
You go girl! You look great!!

Didn't the rules and regulations say that you had to take the picture while holding the newspaper upside down, while running in circles, rubbing your head, patting your tummy, on the day of a full moon? This contest is so unfair. If I'd known we didn't have to do all that I would have entered!
Ok - just kidding ;) You look great Beth!! And I know you must feel even better! Congrats!!
