HIP-HOP ABS!How’s that for PUNISHMENT?!!!!!! AND A REASON TO SMILE!!!!

Ok so Marquis is on punishment for acting like a fool yesterday so I decided that since he couldn’t watch TV he could work out with me and guess what we did HOP HOP ABS and he liked it and I got in a workout!  It was great and I feel it in my shoulder’s, arms and abs but I’m a true Tae-bo woman to my soul!  I will wait for a week to see if it works as good as tae-bo but it was fun and the guy is so………………well “sweet” and funny lol lol

Anyway good news Marquis is going to see his mother this weekend. Well actually Saturday because I have to pick him up from school so that’s good and he will be on punishment until I say he is off. It’s 4:30 a.m. and my hubby decided to work a double today.  We finally sat down and had a serious talk and my hubby is scared of losing his son forever but I told him he has to trust GOD and leave it at that.  He apologized and that’s that! I had a relaxing day yesterday did some beautiful things for myself, nails, hair etc. so I feel and look good lol !

My reason to smile:  I found an old picture of me and my husband ( I posted it on my page under the schools heading) it was when I weighed 281 lbs and I said WOW I’ve come a really long way and will never go back!  so with that said this morning I feel like a little TAE-BO!  Hey KAMA ! lol SMILE! Have a wonderful weekend guys! Hey Helen, Lori and Bette Jo - you guys weren’t up early this morning - I missed you! lol

Hey; My post today disappeared! Oh well………

I was here checking on my post and it disappeared. I guessed I deleted it or something! Funny this computer world lol Have a great night everyone! See you tomorrow!

Okay so my scale is RETARDED!!!

Of course after my total shock yesterday I said I would never weigh myself again (lol) how many times have we said that. Oh well happy to report my scale was alot friendlier than yesterday so the total weight gain is not 20 lbs but 12!!! WHEW that is a big difference and a whole lot better to swallow. I don’t know what happened maybe running around like a fool and drinking my tea who knows and who really cares I’m just happy I have less to lose to get back on track. 

Anyone still watching the Biggest Loser?  It is like so boring compared to past shows.  Anyway it’s starting out to be a great day. Left hubby to fend for his self this morning with Marquis so all is well! Thanks for everything buddies and thank you to those of you that made my friend Jacqueline feel so welcome.  That is what Buddyslim is all about!!!! Have a wonderful day!!!!

It’s time to face reality……

Okay, right off the back……I have gained 20 lbs!!! What are you kidding me? Maybe the scale is broken; NO I have neglected myself and gotten so caught up in my husbands drama. Anyway not changing my weight tracker because this is the last day of that. I will be in onederland by February end of subject.  Marquis wants to go back and live with his mother. He is use to doing whatever he wants and not use to our discipline and rules. My husband is doing everything including giving him what he wants just to get him to stay.  Children Services by the way dropped the charges against the mothers boyfriend because they say there wasn’t sufficient evidence and due to the fact they say Marquis changed his story after the mom left the school. Personally buddies I HAVE SIMPLY HAD ENOUGH! My husband and I are arguing everyday and it’s sad, but I am not saying a word…….my purpose is finished. I did what I could do and now it’s in GOD’s hands. I am not going to bribe some kid into liking our home better than his mom’s just to get him to stay. So bottom line; my husband can do what he wants.  The court date is Decemeber 10th and we’ll know then whether we can keep him permanently or not.  His mother can retain custody as children services has dropped all charges.  HOW’s your day. My goal now is me, me and me.  I’m not blaming anyone for the 20 lb gain it was me. I ate and didn’t exercise well now it’s CURVES at 6:30 a.m. I found out that they open early and I need it! HE can get his own son dressed for school in the morning and feed him etc. I need to take care of me now! Sorry if I sound Selfish ……oh well!

I’m not down about the 20lbs it was just a total shocker! But that’s what happens when you eat junk and don;t exercise for 27 days lol. She I have a sense of humor in it all, but seriously I’m only laughing to keep from crying.  Sorry I haven’t been a good buddy to you guys but you see what I’ve been dealing with! I can’t wait until December 10th to see what the future holds for my life.  Sad my life is on hold until the court makes a ruling.  Thanks buddies for everything and don’t worry those 20lbs will be gone by the beginning of the year GUARANTEED!!!!!!! 

Happy Friday after Thanksgiving Buddies!

Well it was a good Thanksgiving! I didn’t over eat and actually got in some exercise! My so-called husband (which  I shall refer to him) had the audacity to work all day 10:00 a.m. - 11:30 p.m. so of course I was stuck with Marquis.  It’s not at all what I expected but I am dealing with it. Not a complaint just letting everyone know where I am. I’ve decided to just do what I do best and leave everything else in God’s hands.  You see hubby wants his son but wants someone else to raise him; I told him he is no better than the boys mom.  In anycase We (me and Marquis) are at my job. I have to take him to NY with me because he has no school and yes hubby has to work.  But this week I am going to workout like crazy to get myself back on track. 

This may not seem like a happy Friday, but trust me I’m happy because I’m going to do my best and when it doesn’t work out no one can say a word to me.  I give him until the New Year and he will be back with his mom.  Have a great day buddies and let’s work off some of that food!   Well Brittany left last night after dinner she wanted to go back early to see a West Virginia Football game - she has become a true Mountaineer!  Hey Helen!

Part 2….We talked!

Okay; Part 2 of Am I wrong. My hubby and I talked and of course being of the male gender he didn’t see anything he did wrong and our talk went no where. Of course the boy’s mother called and told him to tell the school that he hates it with us and wants to go back to his mother! WHAT!@##$$$ She is totally nuts and I can’t wait until the court hearing on December 10th!  However; children services dropped the case said it wasn’t significant info. and that’s that!  So where do I go from here buddies?  Well I continue on with my life, I pray and leave everything in God’s hands!!!

I am not stressing nor am I worrying about anything else whatever will be….will be and on that note, I;m going to walk on my treadmill take my daughter to get her hair done and then head off to work!  Thank you guys for everything you are the best!!! 

Morning Buddies! Need your help; Am I wrong?

Okay, so I had a busy weekend. Picked up Brittany from West Virginia on Thursday, came back early Friday.  We decorated and put up the Christmas tree.  All along I had Marquis with me.  My husband calls me Saturday night and said he is going to his cousins party after work! WHAT!@#$$ I’ve been with his son all week and weekend and I need a break and he’s going to a party. I was so upset don’t know what time he got home. Then on Sunday morning we’re getting ready for church he wake’s up late get’s dress and is ready to walk out the door! Wait a minute; I know we(emphasis on We) agreed to take care of his son, but he’s putting everything on me!  After church he claimed he had work to do and told Marquis to go with me only to call me an hour later and say he was home! Now something is wrong with this picture. I completely turned my life all around to assist with his child and he acts like it ’s no big deal and every free minute I think I have he wants to do this and do that! I was so upset and we did nothing but argue yesterday so I left my house at 6:30 a.m. and came to work. I don’t have to be here until 8:30 a.m.  but I needed a break!  I hate to feel like this…but for the first time in 5 years I feel like just walking away from everything………………………………and forget eating right my diet has gone all the way down, but not worried about that because I know what to do to get it off! I thought everything would work out but it seems as if he merely wants a nanny for his son! Give me a break please……………………………………Buddies hate to rant on a Monday, but Am I wrong?

Back from West Virginia; and up went the Christmas tree!

Yes! That’s right we decorated the house and put up the Christmas tree upon our return. We normally put it up after Thanksgiving dinner, but Brittany has so many people to visit and so much running around that we decided to do it yesterday.  I have terrible allergies so a real tree is out of the question. I love Christmas, I love decorating and I will post some pictures it looks oh so like Christmas lol.  Anyway on a sadder note my eating was way out of control and I have totally gained pounds (I won’t say because it’s ridiculous) I did share with one of my buddies.  Anyway I have my hip hop abs which I will start on Monday and then there’s Thanksgiving…..Oh well.

Marquis wants a guitar for Christmas, Brittany wants clothes and my husband just wants us all happy. What do I want for Christmas? Well it’s something money can’t buy (well actually it can but it could kill me) and it’s what I want more than anything in the world….to be in ONEDERLAND - you know my weight in the 100’s!!! Well it’s not going to happen until next year but I will definitely get there.  Okay guys have a great day and continue to enjoy your weekend. On my way to a church meeting! Talk to you guys later.

Hey….what do you guys want for Christmas?

Off to West Virginia tomorrow….whew hoo!!

Okay so it’s been quite weird readjusting my schedule.  I was up last night watching Biggest Loser and I’m usually sleep lol So funny I called Toni and forgot how late it was lol. Anyway I am swamped at work and wanted to write a quick blog to say hello and to say I am off to West Virginia tomorrow to pick up my baby (lol) Brittany from college. (she would kill me if she knew I called her my baby). I had to get Marquis situated for school pictures this morning and it was so weird helping him with his homework yesterday lol It;s been along time since my girls have needed my help!  Anyway all is good buddies will catch up with everyone later this evening when I can relax.  We are leaving tomorrow morning at 10:00 a.m. so after work I have to go and pick up her girlfriend who is going with Marquis and myself.  This is my first big trip (driving that is all alone without my husband) of course he has to work.  So keep me in your prayers buddies!  Everyone have a great day!!

Wonderful Tuesday!!!!

okay so it’s a wonderful Tuesday morning! Stepped on scale and lost 3 of those dreaded stress pounds lol lol YEAH! My hubby took Marquis to school this morning and it was quite wonderful!! As I stated in my previous blog I’ve come to grips with everything and it will all work out for the best!  Heard some disturbing news regarding the death of rapper/producer Kanye West’s mom.  She had breast reduction and a tummy tuck which caused her death!  WHOA that is too much trauma on the body.  A Beverly Hills doctor refused to do the surgery for that reason and her bad heart. 

So to all my buddy slimmers it is great that we are working our way through this with hard work and dedication and though it may take each of us some time it is still the best and healthiest way to lose weight!  KUDOS to all buddyslimmers for your hard work and dedication.

Have a great day everyone!!!!!
