Happy, happy birthday. You know us Dawn's really get worked. We get up early. Everyone hates us lol. We hear how we are beautiful but how many people really want to see us lol. AND NO Rennie sure couldn't live with THOSE things lol. There was one in the kitchen today. Now I don't want to hear it was smaller than a pencil eraser. I don't want to hear I am a bad mother because I was going to feed my daughter to it and save my own life. Hey, she is through the cute stage now lol.

Di

Ok Shad - it's still your birthday over there so...





I certainly hope you did something more fun than just taking a walk down to the shed

I'm sorry ladies, just too sleepy to comment right now - I was headed off to bed and figured I'd check in and browse for a minute.

Good morning ladies -

I went to the gym last night and did a good weights class followed by a fun cardio dance class. Today on the scale, I'm up 1.5 to 208.5...bummer. Oh well, I did have a snack of salty popcorn yesterday, so I can hope that it's water. No worries. I'll workout tonight and this weekend and the pounds will come off again. Tomorrow, my DMIL and I are going shopping. I need some new pants (hopefully size 14) and for the first time in years, I might get some capri pants now that my calves are getting toner. My tummy feels better...I think I was just having pain from overworking my abs - I wish my muffin top and fat rolls would show the results of overworking my abs! maybe someday

Shad - That's nice that your DB and his wife came for a visit. I hope they're more impressed than critical/complaining about the kitchen. My MIL is staying for 3 months, which is great with me. She and I get along wonderfully. Also, she has a sister that lives about 20 miles from us, so she usually spends Monday - Friday with her sister since we're at work, and she spends the weekends with us. Of course, sometimes she stays at our house during the week even though we're at work....just to enjoy some quiet, relaxing quality time with her grand-doggies. I'm mostly okay with spiders...meaning I don't freak out...but I do kill them usually. Except daddy long legs since they eat other bugs (I think). I'm not sure I'd like to get a big hairy tarantula-looking spider in my house. But I'd prefer it to a scorpion - do you have those there? My DH used to live in AZ and he and his mom tell stories of how sometimes scorpions would get into the house!

Rennie - Cats DEFINITELY make it known that the house is THEIRS. They just allow you the privilege of paying for their house and food and maybe, just maybe, petting them. My dogs aren't sure who owns the house....but they know that they own our bed and if we're lucky we can each have 6 or 7 inches of it for sleeping.

Happy - you really stay up late! Sheesh! I was asleep by 9:45 last night. Otherwise, I just can't function the next day. I'm definitely NOT a night owl!

to everyone else! TGIF! here's to a great day and an wonderful weekend!

Hugs,

This is article I wrote recently and the basis of a presentation I am giving tomorrow at a women's conference.Loving yourself just as you are right now is not always so easy.

Women. We are complex beings. As we each travel our own path in life there are often times of transition. We are different people to those closest to us and within ourselves throughout our lives. At a crossroads, in a moment of quiet, we can ask ourselves- Who am I? Am I happy? Sad? Stressed? Indifferent? Joyful? Focussed? How do I spend my time? Am I fulfilled? Where am I headed next? What qualities do I admire about myself? What would I like to change about myself? Does my appearance reflect who I am?
For us to give the best of ourselves to all we do, we must first achieve an understanding of who we are and truly love ourselves. Help ourselves be our best.
We all have versions of who we are at different phases of our lives. When we take the time to reflect on where we are at right now there is a piece of this that asks, what does this woman look like?
If the words and phrases you arrive at are powerful and vibrant and of a positive nature, does your outward appearance match this dynamic woman? And if you are in a place where things are not unfolding in a positive way can you visualize how you would want to be? You can be your best “you” right now.
Asking those hard questions of ourselves can be challenging. It is important to focus on the positive attributes you have and develop those further. This works in all parts of our lives as well as with our appearance. Take a good look in the mirror. Be sincere with yourself. Be gentle and loving. What is unique and wonderful about you? Your eyes? The wave in your hair? Do you stand tall? Do you smile freely? Are you showing your best self to the world?
A tangible way to manifest change immediately is to try something different with your appearance. Your professional stylist is an artist and is skilled in helping you reveal the beautiful woman inside of you. We can help you enhance the incredible woman you are. This is about looking good for yourself, in a way that encourages you to feel fabulous in everything you do. The authentic you. You are beautiful.

Oh I am so sorry you are feeling so bad. You have a few things going there. Eat plums that will help.

Holly
Very very nice.

Does the muffin top really go away. I sure hope so because I have a feeling that is an urban legend lol. I only have to worry about that if I A. wear something to tight or B wear something cut to high. All my pants fit great and no muffin top except my Levis which are up higher on the waist. Of course they are my favorite jeans and they of course give me the muffin top and they are lose lol. The dog thinks the cat is her puppy. She lets the cat run the house and lets him eat her food lol. The dog is 14 years old and the cat is 13 years old. I am sure we are going to lose the dog first. I just don't know how the cat is going to handle that. He loves that dog. His favorite game is to JUMP on the dogs head. Have to say as the dog is getting older she is snapping at the cat when he does this lol.

Rennie, I sure HOPE my muffin top goes away. Mine is awful because it's there with or without clothes! Please don't say that it's an urban legend and it will never go away - you're scaring me. You're lucky that you have control of your muffin top and when it appears. Changing the subject away from dreaded muffin tops, It's so fun when doggies and kitties get along. Up until the last year or so, we've had dogs and cats and they've just adored each other. We don't have any more cats now - just the 3 dogs and that's plenty of pets.

Got a question for you, ladies.....Do any of you have favorite workout music? When I reached the 25 lb. milestone, I treated myself to an ipod. I got a refurbished one with video for about $89 - yes, it's an expensive reward for not even being 1/3 of the way to goal, but I wanted something for music while working out. I'm now in the process of creating playlists. My tastes are pretty eclectic: 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, and current rock, pop and some metal. I'm not a great fan of country, but I do like Shania, Faith Hill and Dixie Chicks. Of course, if I'm walking outside, I tend to prefer the sounds of birds and the peace of the natural surroundings.

verry very good.

Mel
It's been very quiet.

Hello to the rest.

I'm tired. Tomorrow is my only day off this week. There is so much to do at home that I'm beginning to feel overwhelmed.

I love I feel good by James brown and I got a new attitude by Patti LaBelle. I can really get my legs kicking to those songs. I'VE GOT A NEW ATTITUDE oh my gosh that song is me. I love myself. I love how I am working to have a nice body, a nice HEALTHY body and in turn I am losing weight. I feel good that I AM IN CONTROL not food, not anyone else MEMEME.

Hi all,
Had some internet troubles this morning and only managed to reconnect at around 3 this afternoon. So this is why you only get to hear from me now.

Went to the Body Balance class this morning. Apparently our trainer is quitting. Oh dear. Hope they find someone to replace her because I can't get to the other Body Balance class. Not that it matters because too much because I will be changing gyms at the end of my subscription anyway. I've had enough of the turmoil in this one.

Today I went down to the shed and got a some boxes back and have filled up some of the shelves in the kitchen. Nice to see some of my stuff again. I still have too much although I haven't run out of cupboard space yet.

Then I sorted the computer and got the washing done and out and back in again. I still have to fold it tho.........

Lots of things still to do. Qantas just rung me to say that there is a problem with the flight I am on and they would like to move me to an earlier one. It's not a problem I said, I will be ready to go. Are you packed yet she asked. Not likely said I. That's not my style. I'm usually still stuffing things in and chucking them out until the last possible moment.

You'll have to excuse the lack of personals at the moment. I just don't have time to think about them right now. I'm off to make a cup of tea, watch one tv program, go down to the bedroom and sort out the clothes I want to take and then figure out what goes and what I really don't need. If it wasn't for the fact that I need a couple of pairs of shoes, I would only be taking cabin baggage. Can't wear the same shoes everyday can I? And heels don't go down well in a gym (if there is one)

Anyway, I'll be back before I go in the morning to check up on the daily doings of a superb bunch of chicks. See you

MICHELLE~ WHEN I READ YOUR POSTS...THE LITTLE SONG FROM OME KIDDIES PROGRAM COMES TO MY MIND..."EXERCISE, EXERCIS, COME ON EVERYBODY DO YOUR EXERCISE"...I FORGET WHICH PROGRAM BUT JEN USED TO CALL ME INTO THE LIVINGROOM TO EXERCISE WITH HER MANY YEARS AGO! GLAD YOU FEEL BETTER AND HAPPY SHOPPING!

ANNIE...I HAVE BEEN SITTING HERE LAUGHING AT THE IRONY! I ALWAYS ENVT YOUR REGULARITY AND YESTERDAY I WAS IN THE BATHROOM SICK FOR HOURS AND NOW YOU CAN'T GO!! Ahhhhh...THE WOES OF WOMEN ON DIETS!! HOPE EVERYTHING COMES OUT IN THE END!

HOLLY~ GOOD LUCK WITH THE CONFERENCE AND GOOD THOUGHTS ARE ALWASY GREAT TO SHARE WITH AN AUDIENCE WHETHER BIG OR SMALL.

CEEJAY~ GLAD IT'S BEEN QUIET SO FAR!!

SHAD~ NOT TO WORRY WITH PERSONALS. WE ALL KNOW YOU'RE IN A TIME CRUNCH. HAPPY PACKING AND UNPACKING!! THAT HAS GOT TO BE CONFUSING TO YOUR POOR BRAIN!

RENNIE & MICHELLE~ SOMETIMES I WISH I HAD A MUFFIN TOP INSTEAD OF THE MATERNITY LOOK THAT I HAVE!!!!

YESTERDAY I CAME UP HERE SICK AND IN THE LOO FOR ALMOST 2 HOURS. AFTER THE LAST TRIP I HEARD SOMEONE RUNNING UP THE HALL STAIRS AND JUST KNEW IT WAS FOR ME...SAL TOLD ME IN HIS MOST PANICKY VOICE TO CALL THE COPS BECAUSE THE CONSTRUCTION MEN HAD POURED CONCRETE OVER TWO OF OUR SENIORS CARS I CALLED THE COPS AND TOLD THEM I WAS GETTING DRESSED AND WOULD MEET THEM OUT IN THE DRIVE. SURE AS S H I T THERE WERE TWO CARS COVERED IN CONCRETE AND GETTING FRANTICALLY HOSED DOWN ALREADY BY THE MEN THAT DID IT WHILE THE OTHERS WERE SCOOPING IT UP WITH SHOVELS TO KEEP IT ALL FROM GOING DOWN OUR STORM DRAIN! WHAT A SITE. ALL OF A SUDDEN I BEGAN LAUGHING AND TRIED TO KEEP IT HIDDEN. BUT THE MEN STARTED LAUGHING TOO AND WE ALL PISSED THE SENIORS OFF. LATER I HAD TO SPEND TIME WITH THEM IN THE LOBBY TO SHOW THEM THE HUMOR. IT LOOKED LIKE SOMETHING OUR OF LAUREL AND HARDY MOVIE...THEN WE ALL LAUGHED.
SAL AND I FOUND CEMENT IN ONE POOR MANS TRUNK AND DOORJAMBS SO WE BOTH CLEANED OFF THE REST OF HIS MESS WITH OUR RAGS. HE'S RATHER OLD AND REALLY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. THE WOMAN ALSO WAS OVERWHELMED.
I JUST TRULY WONDER WHY ALL THIS CRAP HAPPENS ON FRIDAY'S WELL AFTER CLOSING TIME AND FALLS INTO MY LAP??? DOES THE HEAD OF THE LAWS OF B*LL**** COMMITTEE THINK NO ONE ELSE CAN DEAL WITH IT AND SETS THE CLOCK FOR 4:15? EVEN THE COPS INVOLVED ASKED ME A SIMILAR QUESTION CAUSE IT'S ALWAYS ME THAT CALLS AND ALWAYS ME THEY HAVE TO HELP. I TOLD THEM I HAVE A BLACK CLOUD OVER MY HEAD AND CAN'T THE SEE IT????
OTHER THAN THAT....I FEEL BETTER AND THE CULPRIT OF MY DILEMMA WAS ABOUT 2-3 TBS EACH OF MACARONI & POTATO SALAD.
THERE WAS A BABY SHOWER AND I MANNED THE PHONES SO THE OFFICE COULD GO. THEY BROUGHT ME OUT A PLATE OF LITTLE "TASTES" WITH EVERYONE SWEARING THAT IT WAS ALL HOMEMADE BY THE FAMILY......NOT!
FROM NOW ON, I WILL JUST SAY THANKS AND THROW IT INTO THE GARBAGE. I CAN'T SEEM TO GET ANYONE TO LISTEN AND RATHER THAN GET A LOT OF PEOPLE UPSET AND HURT FEELINGS AND ME SICK...IT'S JUST EASIER TO TOSS IT OUT WHEN NO ONE IS LOOKING. I HAVE LEARNED ONE THING...MY "SENSITIVITIES" ARE REALLY BECOMING STRONGER AND I AM REACTING MUCH FASTER JUST LIKE ONE OF THE EYE DOCTORS SAID THEY WOULD. WHAT TOOK 3 HOURS IS DOING IT IN LESS THAN ONE NOW. SCARY AND VERY PAINFUL. LIKE BEING POISONED. I WONDER IF THE SCALE WILL SHOW AN IMPROVEMENT THIS WEEKEND

SORRY FOR THE RAMBLING ON.
HAPPY SATURDAY AND ENJOY YOUR WEEKENDS EVERYONE!!
