23 August What do YOU drive?I love this website. I saw this up today and it made me smile. Thought I'd share!
 Boss on the phone: What religion is he?...That makes sense that he drives a Jeep then. via Overheard in the Office, Aug 22, 2006 22 August Beef cake . . . I mean Meat cake anyone?I saw this on my Spark messageboard and Had to share it!! Go see how you, too, can be a culinary genius and make a meat cake. Yep, that's right, it looks like cake,
but it doesn't smell like cake and it definitely doesn't taste like cake! How funny!!!
 11 August Spark People ROCKS!!!I have joined a FREE, Yep, completely and utterly, FREE diet and nutrition website. It's GREAT. That's where I've been spending much of my internet time. You get points for stuff you should be doing anyway and there are teams you can join and leader boards and tons of great information. I love it!! My personal favorite part, other than it being free, is the meal tracker. You can see suggested meals or you can simply put in what you're eating every day and it calculates calories, fat, carbs and protein. This is a huge eye-opener for me. You can sign up for regular e-mails in categories or topics that interest you. And, when you read them, you get points!!! So, today I got this e-mail. It is my personal mission statement, more or less. My current mindset and attitude towards all of this.
OH, and by the way, I've lost over 10 pounds in the last couple months since I started working at Curves. As my mother pointed out, even 1 pound a week is still 52 pounds in a year. I'd like to lose 2-3 pounds a week, but so far that hasn't happened. AND, i'm doing a Strength training program that builds muscle, so the scale may not move as fast as I wanted it to anyway. So, if you'd like

and my username for your referral is MOUSEMARIE.
In the meantime, enjoy the e-mail I got today.
Week of 8/10/2006 SUBJECT: What's the most motivational thing you can do for yourself? POSTER: KINKYBOOTSNO1 For me, it's coming to terms with the fact that I have the right to be healthy, I have the right to be the weight I find suits me best, I have the right to be happy, I have the right to remove this feeling of inferiority that I have carried around all my life, somehow never feeling "good enough". I have finally come to realize that whatever I read, whomever I talk to, whatever group I belong to and however long I live, I will not succeed in what I want until I learn to love and nurture the only person that can actually take this journey for me. I have come to realize that the body I have is the only body I am ever going to get. I am working daily to accept that fact. I have spent all of my adult life hating myself for not being something or someone I thought I should, never accepting the fact that I am me. I have spent my life verbally abusing myself in a way that I would NEVER allow someone else to. I would certainly NEVER dream of speaking to someone else in the same manner. I am finally learning to love me for me. Yes, I want to lose weight and improve my health, in return gaining higher self-esteem and confidence. I am learning to accept that hating my body is not going to fix anything. I have spent so many years hating the one person that I should have been loving- the one person that has always been there for me, always carried me through every situation despite the fact that I never had anything good or uplifting to say to her. I have finally learned and continue to learn that I am worthy of being liked and even loved. I am finally learning that I am trustworthy and that I CAN trust myself. This body is the only body I'm ever going to get and while there are things that I want to improve about my body, underneath all this is actually a very beautiful woman. 10 August Headline . . .Here is a headline I never thought I'd see.
Penguins, octopus and fish in highway crash
So, who was driving?
And why exactly are exotic zoo animals driving a truck???
 Just made me laugh. Thought you might enjoy it too.
If you want to read the story click here. 08 August * Wave *I'm still alive.
I'm still here.
I'm still around.
I just got a raise at my day job so I'm working more hours for a little more money. I also focused in on my health and weight management and have subsequently joined Spark People. Feel free to come check us out. It's FREE and you can say that I referred you, my username is MOUSEMARIE. So, I've been busy keeping up with that and watching Big Brother All Stars. I'm keeping up with the 4400 and occasionally the Dead Zone. Not much else on TV for me lately. Lots of movies and browsing.
I am very excited about the upcoming Survivor season and Amazing Race!!! Plus, my regular shows come back. I'm considering getting a DVR (tivo) style service this fall with the money I'm going to make on my raise. I'm comparing it against how much faster I could pay my parents back with that. So, we'll see. Also, I'd need to convince mom to let them put a satellite dish on the house. not sure if I could talk her into that. So, we'll see.
But, like I said, I'm around. Trying to figure out ways to add more. Maybe I'll add a text message e-mail ability or something and see if I can do it that way. But, you can message me somehow if you'd like. |
