I took the plunge......

Marie,
I would love to meet up with you sometime.  Lynn said that they had several ladies from the Blanchard area that drove there to work out since all that is down that way is Curves.

In June after school inishes I will be moving to a MH on 2 1/2 acres on County Road 1240 between County Line and Sara Rd. My cousin is the morning cashier at BridgeCreek Convienance and is seeling me her rent house and the acrage its on so I can get me and the kids out of this apartment and city. I live in a pretty ghetto area and dont even let the kids out to play without me watching so I am really looking forward to them being kinda country kids and all the hard work it will take to change this land into what I want with gardens and landscaping and just OH so many projects I have already came up with I want to do and I will have the energy to do as well.

Looking good MommaHen!  I wish I lived up that-a-way that sounds like a great deal for working out and swimming!!!  We have a teeny (I won't even call it a gym) work out room here and it's like $50 a month for a few machines and no hot tub.

Ah, the city life.....


But you're looking great!!  Maybe I'll catch you at the same support group some day!

TY Jen you are looking good too. Hey if you make it up here early one day for an appointment and such and want to go give it a try I am allowed to bring a guest. They say it is easier to work out with a friend since none of mine are willing or able to I am hoping to meet a work out buddy there.

Which Mademoiselle's are you going to?  I go to the one on South Penn.  It is a lot cheaper now than it was 18 years ago!!  I was overwhelmed the first few times, because once you join, the trainer won't necessarily watch you everytime to make sure you are doing everything right, and there is a LOT to remember!!  I have only been 5 times, so I still carry my little card with me and have to kind of do a hunt and find to figure out what I should do next!!  But, it is great and you get a great workout!!  I have been trying to get a "big girl" swimsuit together so I can do the water aerobics and get the nerve to go to a class!!  Your new picture looks great!!  Good Luck!!

Marie

I will be going to the S Penn one and I am looking forward to the water aerobics. I wors a swimsuit even when i was 407 pounds last summer and well if anyone there dont want to see me well they can look else where and truthfully I have no problem telling them that I am pround of where I am and what I am doing for me and I will look the way I look no matter what anyone thinks. Lynn did a double take at my id when I pulled it out to set up the auto draft and while you can tell someone small you have lost 100 pounds the looks when they see a before and after picture can be priceless. She actually asked *That's you?* it wasn't said to be ugly but she was truly shocked at the change already. Felt pretty dang good to me.  I hope to see you around sometime.

TY  for the compliment

Thanks for the invite!  Someday, I'd like to be able to do more than a flying trip up there and back.  I've taken so much time off from work and now I'm using my vacation this week for my surgery, so I'm pretty sure they aren't going to want to give me much more. 

But I'll keep that in mind!!

Congrats for y ou big step!  You're going to be "one hot MammaHen" this summer!  I love the new avatar but....you are even small now than when that picture was taken and your hair shorter and so cute!!!  You'll love the country life with kids.  We raised our kids in small towns and wouldn't trade that for anything in the world.  The schools were awesome and everyone knew everyone so they all seemed to help keep all the kids on the straight and narrow.  I'd rather mine play in the woods and creeks than in the streets and on computers!!!  You'll have so much fun gardening too. 

Oh, by the way, I have a swim suite that was worn only one time that if you can wear it you are welcome to it.  Let me know or PM me with what size you think you need and we'll meet up sometime.

Look at that Hot Mommahen!  I love your new pic!
