Hi Gang,
Sorry I've been away from you for so long, but this sinus infection really did a number on me. I hope to get back in gear in a few days.
My whole life is fixing to change. It's been a long time comming, but I am finally ready for it (I think)
As most of you know my husband started his own business about two years ago and It's grown beyond our most fanciful dreams. In two weeks I'm going to give up my "security blanket" working for someone else and go to work at his company. This is truely a leap of faith for me, and it's taken me this long to finally decide it was the right thing for me to do. But the decision is made.
The good part is that I will not have to be at work from 8:00 to 5:00 every day. I will have a lot of flexibility. I can get up when I want to and have plenty of time to do my oxycise without having to rush to not be late. Or I can stay up 15 minutes later and not worry about not having enough sleep to make it through the next day.
(Also I will be able to check in here throughout the day if I want too.) I am really planning on getting really serious about my O again. Yes, I admitt, I've really slacked off since the first of the year.
Also the dress will be a lot more casual working in an autoparts warehouse than working in a hospital, so I might need some new clothes and I want them to be smaller sizes. I'll save my old "work clothes
for church.
So be ready for me being around more often, and I'll be posting my sucessess!!!
Happy Easter! I've been very bad and haven't Oed in five days! With Las Vegas and everything else going on I just haven't had the time. But today I plan on doing my abs/upper body video and get back on track.
Juliette-Thanks for describing O so great! I couldn't have explained it better! You are doing great with the O by the way. I hope I can get back on track.
Barbg-I'm so happy for you and your career move! How exciting. I wish I was in that position. You will love your new freedom with your flexible hours! I hope your sinuses get better soon.
Claire-It's always nice to hear from you! I'm glad you're still doing the commuter tape. Way to work the O in.
raggedyann-I hope you decide that O is right for you. It really does work if you devote a little time to it. Please post here and join us. This is a great bunch and very motivating!
Silky-How are you doing? Did you decide about O yet?
Take care everyone and enjoy your Easter. I'm off to do some breathing.
I had a workout with a personal trainer this morning so I can't move tonight. Oxycise never makes me feel like this. I'm not sure why I did it, I guess because it was free? Well, I really don't have anything to say. They are working on my new office. I bought office furniture online last night and went and bought carpet for it today. This is going to be a long two week.
Have any of you been hearing or reading about the subway diet? I'm thinking about trying it for a while. When it first came out with Jared you had to eat subway sandwiches for lunch and dinner, but now they say just eat a subway for lunch. I could do that I think. What do you guy think about that?
barbg, you GO GIRL!! I work for a company that manages hospitals, and hospital employees do an amazing job for all of us. I'm glad you're getting out of it. I worked in an automotive bumper shop for a while. It was fun, dirty work, but I worked for a guy and his wife and will NEVER do that again
I am a trained voiceover actor and guess I could get work if I would just get off my lazy butt and do it. You've inspired me to get up and try, anyway
Rose, how was Lost Wages? Hope you saw some good shows, ate well and pulled a few slots. Glad you're back.
I fell over the weekend and wrecked my back for a couple of weeks. Even the "O" breath hurts. So, I try a breath every day to see if it's going to cross my eyes from pain or get a little better. I'll keep you posted.
Have a great day all! Silky and raggedyann, "O" works if you do it.
Slacked off with the O! last week. Shame Shame! I was doing so well, and then I started working a part time job and decided I needed the sleep more. Well, I think I really should have just balanced it and continued the morning O!
The good thing is that I started the O! again this week and have done it the last two days. Today wasn't quite as powerful as usual cause my dog decided he wanted to play during the floor exercises, but at least I did it!
The GOOD thing is that my boyfriend made a comment about the O!. For a long time he didn't believe it did anything for me (can't see much when you only lose an inch or two at a time). But he told me that I am in a much better mood during the days when I O! than the days when I don't!!!! I was so excited to hear him say that!!!
Anyway, that's all from here for now. Back on track with my diet, and hopefully will see 170 again soon!!!
I was so happy to see some new posts on here! Well no O again this morning. I need a good kick in the butt I guess.
Juliette-You've inspired me to try again! I know that once I get started I'll feel better and keep doing it. It's just the getting started part that's so hard. It is true what you said about what your boyfriend told you. I do believe I'm in a better mood when I O. I know I feel better so maybe the two are related somehow. Anyway, thanks for the motivation.
Claire-I'm so sorry you hurt yourself I hope you get better soon! I can almost feel the pain by the way you described it. OUCH! Well Las Vegas was Lost Wages for me! I did have a good time though. But I won't be going back real soon. Need to build up the funds a little.
Barbg-It sounds so exciting getting prepared for your new office! And as for the Subway diet I heard allot of good things about it. I love the sandwiches there so that might not be too bad to try for a while. Allot of people have had great success with it. It might be worth a try. Let me know what you decide.
Okay I need to get to work. I start a new job next week and I need to clear the desk at my old one first. Keep oeing.
Hey Rose!!! What kind of a job are you getting? Aren't you the one who worked for SEAWORLD? Was that a while ago, or was it just part time, or was it not even you? What's NASCAR woman doing these days? We haven't crossed paths in a while.
Juilette, It's true!!! You do feel better and are in abetter mood when you have your cells cleaned out with all that Oxygen. I really believe that. I'm not sure why it works, I just believe it does It also makes you sleep better when you do it at night before bed. As for the inche a a time thing...one day you will do what I did today and realize what a great program it really is. I don't notice loosing much weight or many inches either, but today I pulled out one of my spring outfits and wore it to work today. The skirt almost feel off me. I am serious. It was a broomstick skirt and the waist was so loose it would drag the ground and I would step on it and next thing I'd know it would be comming down my hips
Claire, Hope you feel better soon. I think you are brave to even try to O with injuries!!!
Threads, Raggedy ann and anyone else out there, Have a great day tomorrow! It's time for me to get to bed
Barb! The same thing happened to ME this morning! I woke up and felt SOOO much lighter - so I got on the scale - no change... took out the measuring tape - no change.... put on my khaki's and for the first time in FOREVER they weren't so tight I couldn't breathe! I am actually COMFORTABLE wearing them today instead of fearing that they might split!
I'm just so glad you said something about it cause I was worried that there might be something I was missing...
Didn't O! this morning because I decided to be at work on time instead (ok, I could manage my time better!) But I am definitely going to try to do it tonight, and then definitely again in the morning! I have to be down to 135 by September - and O! is definitely going to help me get there! I just have to do it consisitently!
And so do you Rose! You have been such an inspiration - as well as the reason I started doing MORNING O! (which I NEVER thought I could do) - so you can't back down from it now!
Hope everyone else is doing well! Talk to y'all later!
Barbg-No I never worked at Sea World. I work for the government. I was in accounting but I switched to budget. It's not more money but it's better experience.
I was there most of the day that's why I didn't post until now. It's going good so far! Hey great results with the inch loss. Just make sure you don't lose that skirt!
Juliette-You are so right. I promise I will start Oeing in the mornings again. Starting with tomorrow. You have inspired me to start again! Thanks for the push. I needed it!
Okay I'm sorry this is short but I have allot of work to do before I go. Keep oeing everyone you are all so great!
Juliette-I did it. I got up and did my abs video this morning and last night I did my commuter tape while I waited for my son to get out of track. Yippee! Thanks for the push. I think I'm back on track!
I hope you all have a great day and a nice weekend filled with O! I'll try to post more later but work is calling and it's pretty loud so I better go!
Boy, this is a quite thread this weekend. I guess you are all like me. I don't have a thing to say, but a least I wanted to let everyone know I'm still around.
Rose - that is so awesome that you did it! In fact, Friday morning I woke up, totally not in the mood to do it, but I knew that you would be so I did it anyway - even if it did cause me to be 5 minutes late for work!
Barbg - the weekends are so hard to get on here... I don't know why... Not like I'm not on my computer, but if I am on it, I'm usually zoned away playing games... resisting even the idea of typing ANYTHING!
Anyway, I hope you both are doing great this week! Sad to see that Threads hasn't posted in awhile. I wonder if she ever got her tapes and if she liked them? I wonder how she's doing???
Hope this board is busy this week too! Love it when there are more people on!!!
Did my morning O! today! Starting everything off wonderfully! Hope to keep it up the rest of the week too! Feeling thinner every day (honestly, it's about time!)
Barbg-I'm with Juliette, it's hard to get on here on the weekends. I'm usually so busy catching up with stuff I've neglected during the week that I don't get much chance to post. I'm glad you're still posting here! It's always nice to see you post and thanks for keeping this thread alive. I really think O is great. It is hard to keep going sometimes though.
Juliette-I did my O on Sat. morning and then Sunday afternoon and I actually managed almost the whole tape this morning until I was interrupted with a phone call. I had done almost all of it so I might finish it tonight when I get home. I'm glad you are doing good. I've noticed that I've been so tired lately that I need to do O every day to get back that energy. Thanks for being here and for being so devoted to O!
Claire-I'm glad your back is healing! That must be so painful. I know you must be missing O! You are always so good about doing it. Yes this thread slows down sometimes but eventually it will pick up again. I'm glad to see everyone is still hanging in there. Take care and keep Oeing!
Threads-Where are you?
Okay I have to get to work. Everyone have a great day!
! You are doing great with the O by the way. I hope I can get back on track.
!
It is true what you said about what your boyfriend told you. I do believe I'm in a better mood when I O. I know I feel better so maybe the two are related somehow. Anyway, thanks for the motivation.

because I decided to be at work on time instead (ok, I could manage my time better!) But I am definitely going to try to do it tonight, and then definitely again in the morning!
