  • Quote: I got a job teaching Zumba today!!!

    I went on my lunch break to a nice hospital fitness center. Its in the town we work in now (and where we will be moving after I graduate). And they gave me a job to teach 2-4 times a week starting in May after I graduate! Woohoo!

    They really want me to get certified to teach Zumba to kids...so I am looking into that as well. That would give me 4 classes a week, where if I just do regular Zumba it would be 2 a week.

    I am so excited! This makes me feel not fat anymore. Surely they wouldn't have hired a fat person to teach aerobics...but they hired me! :-)

    That is amazing! Congratulations!

We live in Fayetteville and I go to grad school Tues/Thurs...but my hubby owns a business in Fort Smith and I work there part time (M/W/F)....and we are building a house just outside of town. So I will be living, working, (and now) teaching Zumba there after I graduate in May!
    Darn! I was hoping you would be moving to the north toward Bentonville :-) I can't believe you guys make that drive but it's got to be great building a house and graduating! Two huge things. Good luck with everything.

  • Choices??
    Here are the two dresses. I am just notsure what to do. I'm leaning more towards the blue one.

    I'm kind of scared now that we might not be able to go to the stabilization party. My son is getting admitted to the Minnesota Epilepsy Group next tuesday. We are not sure how long we will have to stay. Hope we make it back in time for the Husker Spring game on Saturday (family tradition to go every year) and for the stabilization party on the 18th.

    Yay! Congratulations!

    And you are absolutely right--they don't hire fat people to teach aerobics! They hire fit people! :

    Def. the darker one. They both look terrific, but the darker one is the winner. My hubby is standing over my shoulder and said the same thing So, from both a male and female perspective, we vote the blue one.

    I agree with Ashley-- definitely the blue one. It looks nicer in the photograph. The white one is cute, but in the photo (probably because of the way cameras pick up the lighting/flash) it kind of washes you out and makes you look plain. The darker one is stunning on you!

    You look fantastic!

    That would be a bummer if you have to miss the party, but I'm glad that things are moving forward on your son's diagnosis/treatment.

    Honestly, if you end up having to miss the party, this is what I would do: A nice dinner out with the family, wearing the blue dress, then go out and get a new family photo done (somewhere not to expensive), to include a couple poses of just you--no one else--to get a really great "after" picture and show off your weight loss.

    I vote blue - you look amazing in it! I'm glad is being admitted and hope that they can help. I also hope you can make it back for the game and the party, but if not . . . I agree with teacherlady that you should go out and celebrate!

    The white one looks great on you, but I LOVE the blue one. And, I agree with Teachlady's suggestion. If you can't go to the center's stabilization party, have your own! What you did is quite an accomplishment that should be celebrated!!!!

    I agree with everyone! Both of them are great but the darker one makes you shine a bit more. Good luck with your son.. I hope everything works out for your family.
  • Laughed at myself this morning....
    I was running a bit late for work this morning but I think it was for a great reason! I put on a pair of jeans, they were baggy.. put on another pair, they were baggy. So I went to my "haven't worn in years" stack of jeans - tried on a pair and they were still too snug. I started to get frustrated because I kept thinking.. I'm late.. I'm late but not for a very important date.. just work. Then I sat on the bed and thought for a minute. Am I really getting frustrated because I have to find a SMALLER pair of jeans!?! Really?!?! So then I just laughed. I think my two boys (yorkies) thought I was going insane. The next pair of jeans I tried on, fit! I haven't worn these jeans in over 4 years! Just thankful I kept my smaller jeans because I knew one day I would weart them again.. and I am!
  • Teacherlady, I just noticed how close you are getting! That must be so exciting, only 7 pounds to go!!
