Hello My Friends
Thank You all! I am actually enjoying school. I am Going to University of Phoenix. There are campuses around but I chose to do it all online. I swear if regular colleges were run this way I prolly would have continued on when I was a Youngster. My councelor is the bomb!
My Weight is stable. I did gain 5 lbs, going from 126 to 132. As much as I hate to admit it, it was weight I need to gain and I look better. Although I've been snacking a lot when I take breaks from school. I told DH I'll be collecting my degree in a MuMu 
JEllen..... I still want a new pic! I know you look Awesome and you should show it off in your profile pic!
Whatacheif.......Woooo Hoooo! Good Job. It's not easy, but how many things that are really worth while are easy?
Be Well

Enjoy school if you can! :)

Topic: Don't QUIT.
I loved this little poem I found from another site and had to share it.
Don't Quit
When you've eaten too much and you can't write it down,
And you feel like the biggest failure in town.
When you want to give up just because you gave in,
and forget all about being healthy and thin.
So What!
You went over your calories or points a bit,
It's your next move that counts...So don't you quit!
It's a moment of truth, it's an attitude change.
It's learning the skills to get back in your range.
It's telling yourself, "You've done great up till now.
You can take on this challenge and beat it somehow."
It's part of your journey toward reaching your goal.
You're still gonna make it, just stay in control.
To stumble and fall is not a disgrace,
If you summon the will to get back in the race.
But, often the struggler's, when loosing their grip,
Just throw in the towel and continue to slip.
And learn too late when the damage is done,
that the race wasn't over...they still could have won.
Lifestyle change can be awkward and slow,
but facing each challenge will help you grow.
Success is failure turned inside out,
the silver tint in a cloud of doubt.
When you're pushing to the brink,
just refuse to submit,
If you bite it, you write it....But don't you quit!

Topic: Has anyone done the body for life challenge?
I just read Bill Phillips book from (1999) Body for life challenge. I am seriously thinking of doing this. I did find out he has a new book and website out. I guess abbot Laboratories took over the original BFL site and the EAS products. Anyway has anyone read his new book? I think it is Transformations for life or something like that, I cant get it through the library. I dont like buying hardcovers and find out that i didn't care for the book after I paid all that money.
I like the idea of changing my workout routines. I was getting into a slump...not to mention a little burned out with my exercise program. I did finish walking in my second 5K. The first was 2.5 months ago....I shaved 17 minutes and 3 seconds off my time. This challenge will be good to focus on for 12 weeks. I like setting goals. I probably wont officially enter the challenge but do the program anyway.
I would love to hear from anyone else who has done this.

Topic: Break some eggs.

Daily Inspiration for August 17, 2010

Break some eggs.
To make an omelet, you have to break some eggs, as the old saying goes. Think about the first human to have ever made an omelet. He probably made a lot of mistakes initially--throwing the whole egg onto the hot griddle, not mixing the eggs first, not flipping them over.
The only way we ever learn something new is when we give ourselves the freedom to screw up. There are probably a number of new things you've always longed to try, but you felt your weight got in the way. So do them now. Sign up for fiddle lessons. Give square dancing a try. Learn to crochet. Sure, your family will ask you to practice fiddle in a sound-proof room for a while, and you'll be stepping on toes and colliding with bodies during those first few barn dances. But WLS has given you a new lease on life, and now is the time to expand your horizons. It's never too late to learn.
Action for the day: Pick one activity you have always wanted to try. Pull out the yellow pages and find a local community center or school that offers lessons and call them.
