Welcome Dahlia!!!!

OK...I'm so excited I just have to post this here....I have lots 20 1/2 inches since joining Curves in February. AND 12 pounds. I feel great. :)

I live in Texas in Universal City.

Jackie, that is FANTASTIC - keep it up!

:cb: :cb: :cb: WTG Jackie!!!! :cp: :cp: :cp:

Dahlia.....get your df to hide his snack stash!!! OMG, he has too many good things!!!! :lol: Tell him not to tell you where it is either :lol:

Ahhh... My family (aunts, uncles, grandparents) all live in Rosenberg. Small world in a big state!

Universal City Eh? I lived in Canyon Lake (for 4 years) before moving to Colorado. :)

Back is acting up again which is why I didn't post yesterday..and why I'm not attempting to catch up on personals today. SORRY!!! I'll try and get back to things when the back is better. But right now sitting in this computer chair is NOT helping it. So off to go find a chair (or the floor) where I can ease it a bit. Sounds like everyone is still going strong (no ho-ho or peanut collissions)!! WTG everyone!!!

Well so far so good for me. I miss exercising on Tuesday, but I did go on Monday and yesterday and will be going today. I am trying to get myself in a new routine.

Hey do you guys remember me posting awhile back how I had a interview for a job that would just change my life, well I found out yesterday that I got it. I will be making 4 bucks more a hour, plus a 30% differential. I am so excited. I am getting out of the **** hole job I am in. YAY!!

Ok well I hope that everyone has a excellent day and no slip ups.

Sandra - that is awesome about the new job. And the $ sounds pretty nice too. Way to go.

Brenda - hope your back is better soon. Back pain is the worst!!! Keep us updated.

Morning to everyone else too!! Have a great low carb day!

Morning Ladies:

Jackie: Congrats on such a wonderful loss of inches. Really awesome! :)

Sandra: Great news on the job! How did you hold out on telling us about it yesterday?? Sneaky lady! :cool:

Brenda: Feel better lady.. There's not a whole lot worse then not being able to function due to the back. Be gentle on yourself! :hug: :hug:

I have some orders to fill, (I run a business at home) and get the kids to Irish Butterfly in Denver for a shoe fitting. Moose decided after watching his sister perform recently that he wants to join her class. Gotta get him 2 different shoes too! I am prepared to spend about $225+ today --shudder-- So I gotta get going. I'll check in later today, and everyone have a great one! :hug:

Jackie, that is a LOT, congratulations!!!

Brenda: it must be 'let your back give out' week, it sucks so bad, hope it strengthens up and quits hurting SOON!! :hug:

Sandra: I was wondering how that went, how awesome for you!! Congratulations!!

On my way to work and just wanted to send you girls some virtual :hug: and tell ya how awesome I think you all are!!! You DESERVE to give your body only the BEST today!!!

Good Morning

Brenda~ I hope this passes faster this time for you. Feel better soon!

Sandra~ Awesome on the new job!!!! Great pay increase too!! Nice :) What is a differential?

Falon~ The little girl across the street is an irish dancer, and Im always floored when they tell me what they spend on shoes for her. She blows out her soft shoes often! I love it when she practises on her front porch...you can imagine how that resonates thru the neighbourhood. Brings everyone out to watch her. :lol:

I just got back from the gym, and I was very very pissed when I left. 3 of the treadmills are out of order, and the one I was on, wouldnt incline. The rest were full....then the bike I got on wouldnt work....so in the mood that all set me in, I left :mad: So I only got 1/2 a workout in....Im going to have to do something else later on *big sigh*

Oh well........have a great day everyone!

Jackie- WTG on the loss! That is fantastic. I wanted to join curves, but when I went in for information one time, the lady was rude to me. I'm sure she was just having a bad day, and I could have went to a different location. This is Jenni, making excuses... Anyway, GOOD JOB!

Brenda- So sorry about your back! Jackie is right, back pain is the worst! Rest up, and I hope you feel better soon.

Sandra- I need a new job so bad! I wasn't around when you first mentioned the interview, but I sure am glad you got the job. Hope you love it! Congrats!

Falon- Those shoes are expensive! Wow, but just think of how great it will be when they are in use and the kids are having fun learning! On another note, I have been trying to get my home business off the ground for a while now. I am still working full-time, so I spend hours every night (well, not this week- bad Jenni!) working on the website, and trying to get things together. It's been my dream forever. Just wanted to share that.

Robin- Sorry about the work-out. Or, should I say, half work-out. There's a reason for everything yanno? I hope you're able to squeeze something in later.

I asked DF to hide the snackey cakes last night, but he pulled a little "toddler tantrum". Something about "...nowhere to put them" and "what if my friends come over, and can't find the snacks." Whatever. This is where Jenni's will-power comes in, I suppose. It's ok. My big thing has always been the salty stuff, more than the sweet. Which is all still sitting on top of the ice box, btw. You know, DF is funny about it though. Every time I have cooked since getting back OP, he has asked me if it is LC. I made some hamburger patties the other night, and he ate them with a side of corn and put the patties on bread. He said he wants to eat LC. When I told him his "side items" kinda threw the whole thing off, he was like "I know". Um, ok then... He says he wants to "drop" 20 lbs. He is 6'6 360. We'll see. I think he's perfect... *love- blech*

I'm sure there was more, but I have to get back to work. I am training a new girl and she is excited to get started! Give it a few months, and she'll be as jaded as the rest of us up here...

Have a great day, ladies!

-Jenni

Hey guys thanks about the job. It took them so long with my background check cause at this place you have to pass the credit check and it took awhile cause I had to fight a bunch of things on there that I had to fax papers in for to show I was current, but the lady called today and it is official.

Robin: A differential is a % that I will be getting paid after a certain hour, see like I will be making 15.00/hr and after 6:00pm I will make a 30% differential, so 30% of 15.00.

Jackie: Congrats on the loss. Sorry I am so late with it. I always though Curves was neat. I never joined cause I like to workout on my own and do better that way, but good job you. YOu are on your way.

Well I made it to the gym again today and had a good workout, I have been weighing myself while I am there which is in the afternoon and I know that you are supposed to weigh in the mornings, but I am not dragging my butt out of bed at 4am just to go and weigh myself, anyways what i am getting at is even though I weigh heavier in the afternoon, the scale is still coming down.

Oh!! Well thats cool!! Nice little perk too, Im going to have remember it!!

Dahlia, you're right some things happen for a reason. Strange too, because, when I got home I wasnt feeling well. Then got into bed (which I dont do very often in the middle of the day) and slept for about 3 hrs.

Im feeling really weird, almost as if I need sugar. My insides are all shaky :( So, I had some rice for supper, a carrot/apple muffin, and lots of carrots with my supper. Im marginally better. I'll wait and see how things are tomorrow.

Hopefully tonight will be better.

Isn't it amazing how we can read our bodies now!!

Robin, maybe if you 'mention' all the problems you had at the gym they'll get them fixed faster and maybe just MAYBE give you some sort of 'incentive' not to leave them next month ;)
