Wow it seems like ages since I’ve been here! Just taking care of business going through a divorce but all is well in my life! I’ve gained about 20 pounds back but hey I know how to lose it! Just wanted to say hi and see where all my old buddies are and how you guys are doing.  Send me a shout out…I see KAMA is still hanging tough you go girl!  Alot of new buddies and that’s great.  Anyway short and sweet just wanted to touch base and see how everyone was doing.  Drop me a line or two and remember STAY POSITIVE!!!

WOW! Another year and still working on losing these pounds lol. At least I am still smiling and positive as ever!  This is the best year for us all!  Sorry to hear of my dear KAMA;s mom passing away; but shes in a better place with my mom now!  Also I so miss many of my dear buddies where oh where have you all gone; SHANNA, JANE, TONI, JACKIE, DEBBIE (and not my little preggers - she e-mails me) HELEN, JO, ANJ - you’re still around but I so miss you much!  I wish buddyslim was like the time of old; but it’s a new year and hopefully we will all meet our goals and to all the new buddyslimers welcome and know the best is yet to come for all of us!  We shall all achieve our GOALS this year!!!

Remember: STAY POSITIVE!!!! Love Angela

Hey fellow buddies just droppin in to say hello and see how everyone is doing?  I had the best week ever with both of my daughters it was so much fun!  Of course thanksgiving I ate alot of cheesecake (lol) but getting it all back together. Miss everyone so much. Hope everyone is doing well. Miss you guys alot!  Busy but holding things together!  Remember STAY POSITIVE!!!!!

I’ve been missing in action alot has been going on in my life; my hubby and I are in the midst of a bitter, very bad divorce!  So in the midst of all of this nonsense I told KAMA I was leaving buddyslim because of so much nonsense that was taking place on here; then I realized that a few bad apples don’t spoil the whole bunch. So to my buddies Kama, Toni, Anj, Jane, Rochelle, Flo, Shanna, Marge (our mother of wisdom) Magz, Debbie (no longer my little preggers lol (congrats by the way) Felecia, Annia, Tanis, Isabelle, Jenn, Tammy, Lara, Catrina (one of my first buddies) Tatiana, Tiffany, Dawn, Dee, Jill, Natalie, Teressa, Jackie, Mark, Wonderwoman, Lyssa, Bette Jo and Deirdre I shall remain. You guys have been so supported of me and I dare not let a few people who are insensitive and don’t understand truly what buddyslim is all about make me leave…I am here to stay!

Congrats to Toni and her wedding on October 19, 2008!!!!! And to all those I have lost contact with send me an e-mail. And while I won’t be on too much right now I will get back into full swing once things in my life settle down.  Wow it has been some 2008 for me but I am still POSITIVE…and wish the same for all of my wonderful buddies who have sent me boosters and kept in touch. Thank you and know that I love you all very much!!! Remember no matter what STAY POSITIVE!!!

Hey guys how’s everyone doing? Just great I’m sure. I’ve been doing just great. The time alone has helped me to take time on me and lean more on GOD. I’ve been checking in from time to time and reading messages from my buddies and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.  Remember positivity is the key! I did receive some not so good e-mails but you know me I ignored them and they went away.

 Glad to have our old site back and sorry for some of the old buddies that left due to nonsense but I am glad to report that inspite of everything that I have had to endure I have lost 12 lbs and I am estactic!!! I’m going back to Ohio next week for the first time since my mom past.  My brother and I are in my cousins wedding in Little Rock, AR and he my cousins and of course little AJ are traveling together so it should be fun.

My hubby has made his decision to stay in TEXAS and that works for me; I am doing great no stress etc. etc.  So to all my old buddies that have lasted I’d like to say Congrats and keep up the good work. Remember POSITIVITY IS THE KEY. Has anyone heard from Debbie (my little preggers) I’m sure she’s had the baby by now. I’m going to run to her page and see if she noted anything.  Anyway everyone have a great day and wonderful weekend.

Hi guys: As you know I’ve been away dealing with all I’ve had to deal with.  I’ve lost 9 lbs.  whew started back on Southbeach Phase I. My family brothers, cousins and sister-in-law were here to visit this weekend. It was so great but when they left tears, tears and more tears.

Anyway most of you know that my hubby transferred to Houston, TX in March and I haven’t heard from him at all since the hurricane on Saturday. I’ve called but I guess the phones are still down. Just keep him and dupree and me in your prayers. Miss you all! I check in from time to time whenever I get an e-mail that there is a booster or an e-mail and I miss you all so much! At work have to run but take care and STAY POSITIVE.  Did my little (preggers) Debbie have her baby yet?

Due to circumstances that I’m sure I don’t have to explain…I really need to take a break for a while.  I am in my teary moments and need to figure out exactly what I am going to do right now…I love you guys dearly and my DIAMOND team but I have to take care of Angela right now. 

Please keep me in your prayers I so need it…I just have to take sometime totally for me and re-evaluate my life.  Thank you so much and trust me I am okay just need time for me.  Love you much, Angela

Well it’s not as easy as I thought; I actually wanted to call my mom today; but it will get better! She is with me in spirit! I couldn’t wake up to get in that 4:00 a.m. or 6:00 a.m. workout but I will get in my afternoon one! I guess it will take some time and my body was simply tired…and I’ve learned when you are tired….REST!!! The body requires it!  I will be starting back on PHASE I of southbeach today so I am excited about that! And I am excited about my DIAMOND team and the wonderful changes taking place.

So although I am slowly getting back on track…the key is I AM GETTING BACK ON TRACK!!! After such a stressful summer I want my fall to be totally relaxing and peaceful so I also have to get in shape for two OCTOBER WEDDINGS!  And Lyssa and I are going to be in ONEDERLAND by the New Year…so I’m getting back on track and I will stay on track until I meet my goal!  Remember to STAY POSITIVE and everyone have a wonderful day!!!

Wow!! It seems as if I have been gone forever; for those who don’t know my mom passed on Sunday, August 10, 2008 and I have been in Ohio dealing with the funeral cleaning out her apartment and so forth and so on.  I just arrived back this morning and I am in my office. I have my moments when I think of mom and just cry. My hubby’s transfer didn’t come through so he and Dupree will be in TEXAS  I just couldn’t deal with the little guy by myself right now.

Things are going great for me (of course I miss my mom) but I am strong and she is with me in spirit. I am writing a book on Aneurysms and will start a foundation in her memory in OHIO.  Just keep me in your prayers and thanks everyone who sent a thinking of me; kept me and my family in your prayers.

Now it’s time to get back on track I’m still trying to see ONDERLAND BY THE END OF THE YEAR!! And I have two weddings in October….my cousins wedding is October 11th and Toni’s is October 18th. So I have to pull out my TAE-BO and HIP HOP ABS and get busy!!! I sure did miss you guys!!! Remember STAY POSITIVE!!!! Love you all and thanks again for every kind gesture, Angela

Well it’s 12:20 a.m. and I’m up so I decided to check in and was so overwhelmed with the thank you’s and love and support for me and my family during this difficult time.  I’m listening to my mom’s favorite song: “I’ve been in the STORM too long!” Well she is at peace now and won’t have to worry about storms anymore.  THANK GOD!  Yes the tears are falling from my eyes’ (it’s my mom)and I am going to miss her so much.  I keep feeling like I could’ve done so much more for her; but I know in my heart I did good by my mom.

Thanks for all of your prayers I have a very tough week ahead just continue to keep me in your prayers. I flew home to PA today to get the rest of my things and was suppose to turn around and leave at 2:00 p.m. but I was too exhausted and I’ve caught a little cold so I need to take care of myself. I will be leaving this morning at 4:15 a.m. to go to the AIRPORT so I better go and get some sleep.

Thank you buddies for all of your love and support it means the world to me!  Angela
