Default Did you see who climbed Mount Everest?

It was Jimmie and Sally!!!

Congratulations!



What's even more amazing is that they both reached the summit of Everest for the second time in the Pledging Flights Challenge!

If you want to join them in climbing buildings, towers, mountains, masts and chimneys, this is the link to the challenge: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

"The truth is that temptation lurks everywhere, unless you deny yourself a social and working life and the attendant pleasures of eating out. I believe that the best way to overcome temptation is not with willpower, which is so often in short supply, but with our brain power, a potentially unlimited resource.

Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"

Thanks for the tribute Georgiana and thanks for the congrats Jill, Miski and Kntrylady!

I could never have done it the second time on my own. Having buddies to climb with really makes a difference!!
