Great site... I buy their costumes here all the time.  I also got my really cute Ren Faire costume here.  I really recommend it.  They are quick and the costumes last enough to be passed down!

Goodbye 2010--Hello, the rest of my life

It's been a while since I've been here.  Mom died; Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas all happened.  I am proud to say that for the most part, we have kept up with our goal of regular exercise!  There have been weeks where we have to blow it off, but we get back on the program as soon as we are able.  Have I seen any changes in my body? NO. Do I feel any changes in my body? YES!  I feel stronger, more limber, and generally better.  PROGRESS!

One of the best things I did for myself was to buy the Michael Jackson Experience for the Wii.  I love to dance and it doesn't feel like exercise.  I have to be careful though--may brain is still a 19 year old dancer, my bosy is 41, fat and out of shape.  I will hurt myself if I'm not careful.  I so want those feelings in my body that I used to get when I danced.  There is nothing like it. 

In the new year I want to work on eating even more vegetables and fruits and fewer grains and sugars.  I've started my research on good lower carb dinners for the family. 

Hopefully, this piece will make the difference in this journey of weight loss, health, working mommy and life. 

Still really tired

We've done the belly dancing DVD twice now and I think tomorrow will be a Zumba day just to give the bellydancing muscles a rest.  I will probably regret that though. 

It seems like the universe is against a healthy lifestyle.  First, we get told no workout room. Then, we go to get a TV from a library and the only one they have that will hook up to a DVD player only plays in black and red.  Then, We try to hook up the DVD player and it won't play on the TV--we only get sound.  So we work out on a DVD with a 9" screen, but we have been faithful to our commitment. 

The next plan is:

• See if we can get the LGI as a large room to use.
• Find a DVD player that will hook up to the station in the LGI
• Find some other friends to join us!!!

Too Tired to Post

Going to bed now.  Bellydancing was fun. Going to bed now.

I feel useless & we've hit our first snag--Lawyers SUCK

I am really tired.  I am so going to bed early.  I can't wait until this makes us feel better with more energy, but in the mean time I FEEL LIKE CRAP.  I can barely get dinner on the table and Matt had to finish up tonight because I just couldn't do anymore.  If it weren't for the "Family Dinner"  I would go to bed right now.  I made it through the first week. 

Now, on to the snag...
We can't use the equipment for "a few weeks"  (read: until Christmas) because we haven't been trained and haven't signed a waiver.  No one knows when we will be able to use the equipment, but they will let us know.  I swear the universe wants me fat and unhealthy, but we aren't giving up. 

The plan:  Get DVD's and find a room (probably my office) and power through until the room is ready.  Who knows when that will be, but we aren't giving up.  Not yet at least...

Chubby Chasers ROCK!!!

chubby chaser

A person of any sexuality who is attracted to another person who is overweight. Similar to chunky monkey. Tom is a chubby chaser, he only really wants heavy women. Andy, also a chubby chaser, is only into overweight guys. His sister shares these desires, so they love to go checking out guys together. I just want to thank the GOOD LORD above for chubby chasers.  These guys give us fat chicks hope for love.  I have a wonderful husband who thinks my fluffy self is the sexiest thing that walks.  Very cool.
