Roll Call ~Lurkers...Come Out And Play!~

Hiya Everyone! I am back from my little holiday hiatus. I have to say...I am glad the holidays are over this year. TOO stressful! I am ready to get back on the board...so let's keep our little home rockin' in 2008! Here is the Roll Call for today... 1.) What are your New Year's Resolutions? Is losing weight still one of them? 2.) What are you most looking forward to in 2008? 3.) Did you gain any weight over the holidays? Lose weight? 4.) Do you plan on coming to the Reunion this year? 5.) How has your fashion sense evolved over the last two years? That's it for today. I missed you guys....but I'm back! Love and hugs, Jersey Mom

Here are my responses... 1.) What are your New Year's Resolutions? Is losing weight still one of them? --Unfortunately, losing weight IS still one of them. But I am okay with that. I feel truly blessed that, this year, I am resolving to lose 10 lbs. Better than 3 years ago when I was resolving to lose 125 lbs!! My biggest resolution is to be a great Mom...and to do a lot of home improvements. Oh...and to stop spending money! 2.) What are you most looking forward to in 2008? --I am looking foward to a lot of things...to my Mom's visit in February...to my trip with my sister in the summer...to meeting my Jan '06 peeps at the Reunion!! 3.) Did you gain any weight over the holidays? Lose weight? --Oh, yes, I DID gain weight over the holidays. I ate like a pre-op. I was as high as 10 lbs up from my lowest weight. But I have gotten myself back under control and am only 5 lbs above my lowest weight now. Phew! 4.) Do you plan on coming to the Reunion this year? --Indeed...I am organizing the thing! 5.) How has your fashion sense evolved over the last two years? --When I first started losing weight...and up until last summer, my fashion sense turned very flashy! I was frump queen as a pre-op. As I lost weight my shirts got tighter, my necklines lower, my skirts got shorter and my heels got higher! But this winter I am more about comfort. I pretty much wear a turtleneck sweater every single day! I have about 9 different pairs of black slacks that I wear with faux fur-lined boots. Most days I wear a scarf around my neck, too, because I am always so cold. I also bought my first pair of corduroy pants (brown) and I LOVE them!! I wonder if I will get flashy again in the summer! I hope so! Have a great day, everyone!

welcome back sweetie! Nice to see ya! 1.) What are your New Year's Resolutions? Is losing weight still one of them? Yes, I'd like to get down to an all time low of 130 now, but we'll see. More so than losing weight is a fitness goal. With the new tummy I owe it to it to work out like a motha f**** and try to get some nice abs going. 2.) What are you most looking forward to in 2008? Just everything!!! With school it's going to be a stressful year. I also plan on 2 more plastic surgeries and then I hope I never have another surgery ever again!! 3.) Did you gain any weight over the holidays? Lose weight? Did the usual bouncing up and down for me 4.) Do you plan on coming to the Reunion this year? Hell yeah!!!! I can't wait to meet people! I think it will be really cool! 5.) How has your fashion sense evolved over the last two years? I used to wear just jeans and a tshirt or baggy clothes. I still do the jeans and tshirt thing now but the tshirts are form fitting and tucked in with a belt or something usually! I actually wear brighter colors too instead of all black or army green, etc... although I still love black, it's my fave! And okay honestly, '****tier' clothes when I go out lol. I wear the halter tops and backless tank tops etc. Going to get worse I fear when I have boobs since I've never in my life had boobs!!! I would love to be more fashionable but I probably never will be. We aren't too fashionable out here in small town wisconsin anyway!!! Wait what am I talking about?! I'm going to be in clinicals ansd working... I'll be living in scrubs :-/ Hugs! Renee
