I’m a DIAMOND now!!! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO….

okay you guys know that I’ve been a HOT ROD forever and I always loved my team and LYSSA…due to some bad vibes and drama I took a break and decided to just focus on me. One thing that people know about me is that I am a very postive person and don’t like to get involved in alot of nonsense and drama.

With all that being said I was thinkin of rejoining another team and decided who helped me when I was down the most…who was there to pick me up and encourage me through my first 40 lbs weight loss it was my HOT ROD team and not to spite or say anything bad about the other teams I sincerely love everyone but my allegiance is to the DIAMONDS!

And as soon as I get my home situtated …getting brittany from college I will be back with my family….LYSSA love you so much through it all and debbie our sideline cheerleader is definitely the best. I must admit those ROCKSTARS are awesome Holly and its only because it’s headed by Lyssa’s sister Lara which goes to show that they are awesome women.

So no more recruiting me I’m a DIAMOND and after all Diamonds are a girls best friend!!! See you guys real soon!!!1

Time to refocus 20 lbs until ONEDERLAND!!!!

Okay so I came back from OHIO yesterday and had the most awesome time of my life…(Okay Jane stop smiling lol lol) anyway I took my nephew back and really just relaxed and had a great time.  My brother moved in with his girlfriend so Brittany and I have a townhome in OHIO to ourselves yeah baby!!!! lol lol lol So I’ll be taking some more of my things when I go next week to pick Britt up from college. I’ll be in Ohio from May 8 - May 12th want to spend Mother’s Day with mom and just do some fun things.   I took Heather to the airport yesterday and we had a real long talk she will be joining me in Ohio on the 24th of May when I go back for a party for my friend.  Anyway things are finally going great for me again!

Hubby wants to keep the home now thinking that will keep me…I explained over and over to him you can’t play with someone’s life and I have given up on us…well it’s over to be blunt! Don’t have time to play games moving on to bigger and better things with my life.

Now that my nephew is gone I can refocus on my weight loss…I didnt lose but also didn’t gain and I am quite happy with that considering what I have been through. I no longer eat meat …only fish and seafood and I feel really good. Eating plenty of fruits and vegetables and drinking my water. I have an occassional treat of fat free popcorn but other wise than that you guys know I stick to my plan.

Well tomorrow morning I will get back to my exercise regiment and get rid of these last 40 lbs for good. Only 20 to go until ONEDERLAND and since I’ve given myself until August 13th (my birthday) I feel more than confident that I will succeed.

Okay guys going to check on blogs that I missed and everyone have a wonderful day and don’t forget to encourage someone….and remember STAY POSITIVE!!! Have a wonderful day!!!

In Ohio; Great News heard from Heather!!!!!

Okay so AJ and I took a late flight last night from Newark, NJ and arrived in Ohio at 11:30 p.m. So I had  a wonderful month with my nephew. Anyway this morning I decided to try Heathers cell phone and she answered and acted as if nothing was wrong.  Anywayn I didnt want to come off too harsh because she said everyone was yelling at her and she just needed a break. I toldn her regardless let someone know that she is okay.  She stated that she hated the job and didn;t want to dissappoint me; anyway just glad she is okay!

Im flying back to NJ tomorrow and now I can get back to my exercise routine!  Anyway no weight gain and no weight loss but after these last few weeks; I’m very happy!  Well buddies talk to you soon….and as always I am staying positive!!!!

Just wanted to say Thanks to my buddies!!

Well guys still no word from Heather but hey she has my number when she is ready to talk. And my search went endless so now she is just in God’s hands and I am simply not worrying about her anymore.  No I love my daughter and Icare but what is worrying do but driving me crazy and making me sick and besides she has to know its driving me crazy.

But as a friend of hers says she is living the life?  The life without a job…go figure when she comes to her senses I’ll be sure to let you all know.   Anyway taking my nephew back on Monday and then I can get back into my exercise routine.  Despite everything going on around me the scale has been my friend haven’t loss nor did I gain …which is okay with me!

Have a great weekend as always buddies: STAY POSITIVE!!! Love you guys!!!

Still nothing from Heather…

However; she did contact her roomate to tell her where her car was. I left a message on her phone and told her the roomate was reporting the car stolen. So that is a sigh of relief that at least she is out there somewhere and okay.  Her birthday was April 11, 2008 and she turned 21 and told her friends she was going to party all month long….whew kids well at least I know she is okay…but she definitely has to get help.

Thanks so much for all of your prayers and thoughts. I am taking off today to go and look for my child.  She is probably somewhere embarrassed. Anyway continue to keep us in your prayers and I love you guys so very much!!!

Please pray for my daughter…she’s missing!!

Okay usually I try not to worry but with my 21 year old who hasn’t shown up on her job for 5 days now I am. My daughter Heather (the infamous hooters daughter) has been missing for more than 5 days and has not called me. I just prayed and left it in GODS hands but as a mother you know how I am feeling.  She just got hired at Commerce Bank in December and now she has gotten fired for not showing up.

Please keep her and me in your prayers and I am staying very POSITIVE buddies! Thank you all so very much!

Took time off for me Yesterday….Sad news for Dupree!

Hey buddies first let me say sorry I posted so late on blogs yesterday but I took off a day to relax and get my hair done. It feels so good to just do me but I had to take Dupree with me because hubby found out he had no school (Pennsylvania Primary) and he left early lol it is just real sad, but hey I am so happy. Nothing or no one will ever take my joy again I promise you that!

Hubby and I both discuss the fact that it is over…and he doesn’t really know what to do with DUPREE he is thinking of sending the kid back to his mother. I have no legal say in the matter and I am leaving it as such. I’ve dealt with enough drama the past 7 months and now it;s time for me to step back. I did talk with Dupree and told him I love him very much and will miss him. He asked for my cell phone number and ask would it be okay to call me…I told him of course he can. When he gets out of school I am going to take him to Jamaica for a good bye trip so it’ll be alright. So I get two trips to Jamaica this year. My sitter for AJ is going there and her mom has a huge home in St. Catherines so we will be staying there for a week and then I am going back with friends lol lol lol lol

So things are good on the homefront the buyers are trying to play hard to get but they will buy the house all 7 of the family members love it and they certainly have the cash…so no stress there just ready to move on with my life!!

Okay you know my goodbye routine: STAY POSITIVE!!! Love you guys!!!

Motivation and Encouragement - Set a GOAL with a Buddy!

The best way to get motivated and be encouraged is to set a goal with a buddy i.e. me and Rochelle worked hard on posting full body bathing suits at the END of the month, but Missy was so cute in hers she posted it early lol lol. But in all seriousness it’s a great way to not only have fun and encourage each other but you can hold each other accountable until you reach said goal. Although I fell down at one point Rochelle was quick to encourage and let me know how at times I was there for her. So this blog is dedicate to her and so many of my wonderful buddies: I AM HERE TO MOTIVATE AND ENCOURAGE YOU! I pray that I have done this for so many of you and to Rochelle I just want to say that I am so very proud of you and you had to show me up huh lol lol

My full body bathing suit will come at the end of the month and I am so dreading it especially seeing how good my buddy Rochelle looks but hey a deal is a deal is a deal or can I say:  NO DEAL!!!  lol lol  Just kidding I too, am a woman of my word.

Have a great day buddies and if you haven’t; try to encourage and motivate someone on buddy slim today! And remember POSITIVITY is the key!!! Have a great day!
