WONDERFUL MOTHER rn

God made a wonderful mother,
A mother who never grows old;
He made her smile of the sunshine,
And He moulded her heart of pure gold;
In her eyes He placed bright shining stars,
In her cheeks fair roses you see;
God made a wonderful mother,
And He gave that dear mother to me. rn

~By Pat O’Reilly~

AND GRANDMA’S TOO… rn

“While we honor all our mothers
with words of love and praise.
While we tell about their goodness
and their kind and loving ways.
We should also think of Grandma,
she’s a mother too, you see….
For she mothered my dear mother
as my mother mothers me.” rn

MORE THAN A MOTHER rn

When God set the world in place,
when He hung the stars up in space,
when He made the land and the sea,
then He made you and me.

rn

He sat back and saw all that was good,
He saw things to be as they should.
Just one more blessing He had in store;
He created a mother, but whatever for?

rn

He knew a mother would have a special place
to shine His reflection on her child’s face.
A mother will walk the extra mile
just to see her children smile.
She’ll work her fingers to the bone
to make a house into a home.

rn

A mother is there to teach and guide,
a mother will stay right by your side.
She’ll be there through your pain and strife,
she’ll stay constant in your life.

rn

A mother will lend a helping hand
until you have the strength to stand.
She’ll pick you up when you are down,
when you need a friend she’ll stick around.

A mother is one who listens well,
will keep her word; will never tell.

A mother never pokes or pries
but stands quietly by your side,
giving you the strength you need,
encouraging you to succeed.

A mother is one who can be strong
when you need someone to lean on.

rn

You’re more than a mother to me;
a reflection of Him in your face I see,
a love that knows no boundaries.

I’m glad that you chose to be
all this and more to me.
You share a love that knows no end,
you’re more than my mother,
you are my friend.

It Shipped…..

OK…..I’m back with Power90? shipping info.

rn

I just received a letter saying it was shipped UPS Express. Their wharehouse is in Torrance, Ca. which is an hour driving distance from me. So I should see this package no later than Thursday.

rn

If not……..

rn

I’m remaining positive that I will have it by weeks end. So hopefully I can get started and post what I think about it and my before and after pictures.

rn

Stay tuned………….

Beach Body…….

Beachbody.com sucks!!!!!!!

rn

They have the worst customer service that I have ever seen. They are giving me a bunch of crappy answers to why my Power90? hasn’t arrived yet.

rn

If I didn’t want this thing so bad……I would have canceled a long time ago. 5-7 days my eye.  I’m still waiting.

rn

Well my inches are melting away…..that I love……but I know I can achieve more fat loss(inches) once Power90? gets here.

rn

Anyway……..sorry for the rant…..I didn’t think I would ever blog about something like that. Oh well……goes to show you……we have all crappy days sometimes.

rn

Have a wonderful week buddies.

Power 90?

I just bought Power 90?

rn

I love doing different workouts and I don’t want my body getting use to doing the same old thing.

rn

For those who don’t know what it is Click Here.

rn

I’ve been wanting to purchase this for the longest but now I decided….what the heck. Plus reading and looking at all the success stories….I just gave in and bought it. Heck….if I don’t see a change after 90 days……they say I can get my money back. Sounds good to me.

rn

These stories made me buy it. Click Here and Here to see 2 different success stories.

rn

At the end of my 90 days…..which will be mid July…..I will post my before and after pics. But I’m thinking I might just post a before picture and then post a picture every 30 days.

rn

Has anyone tried this?

rn

Well here’s to a successful 90 days. I can’t wait till it gets here.

I’m Back OP……….

I haven’t been op since last week. My hubby and I celebrated our anniversary on Monday but we’ve been actually celebrating since Thursday.  

rn

Anyway……..now I’m back op. Starting tomorrow it’s back to the grind. Here’s what I’m doing for the week ending 05/10/07.

rn

 

rn

 

rn

My daily WWatcher points are 24.

rn

Thursday: 1200-1500 calories ; The Firm Cardio Sculpt, Upper Body Sculpt, & Ab Sculpt.

rn

Friday:  1200-1500 calories ; The Firm Cardio Sculpt, Lower Body Sculpt, & Ab Sculpt. 

rn

Saturday: 1200-1500 calories ; The Firm Cardio Sculpt, Upper Body Sculpt, & Ab Sculpt.

rn

Sunday: Rest

rn

Monday: 1200-1500 calories ; The Firm Tuff Tape 2 (upper & lower body cardio w/ weights) & 5 Day Abs.

rn

Tuesday: 1200-1500 calories ; The Firm Tuff Tape 2 (upper & lower body cardio w/ weights) & 5 Day Abs.

rn

Wednesday: 1200-1500 calories ; The Firm Tuff Tape 2 (upper & lower body cardio w/ weights) & 5 Day Abs.

rn

 

rn

 

rn

Gotta get the weights in……..don’t want flabby skin. Taking it off slow and steady. My motto: Slow And Steady Wins The Race.   Take it off too fast might result in loose skin…..and that’s a no-no in my book.

rn

Anyway……I hate exercise….but it’s a must in my life now. That….plus changing the bad eating habits.

rn

Your past does not equal, nor does it dictate your future. So take this bull by the horns and tackle it. Stand up, be strong, and stay positive. Cause your future is so bright….you’re gonna need shades.shades.gif

rn

 

rn

Have a wonderful week Slimmers.Kisses.gif

rn

Much love and a HUGE Hug,

VitaMuffin……..

I see they’re one of BuddySlim’s advertisers.

rn

Have any of you tried these?

rn

I see they have them at Whole Foods and I wanted to try the Low Carb/Fat Banana Nut Muffin Tops. But I don’t want to get them and they suck.

rn

Anybody tried them and do you have a favorite?

rn

 

My favorite choices……..

Reading another Slimmer’s blog got me to thinking about the food choices I eat. So I wanted to share with you all some of my favorites.

rn

Ground Turkey. I “don’t” eat ground beef unless I grind it myself in my meat grinder. Here’s the one I buy. It’s 99% Fat Free ground turkey by Honeysuckle Turkey.

rn

My pasta of choice is Barilla. But now I’ve been using Barilla Plus

rn

PLUS - Group 2007 Packaging 2

rn

This pasta has fiber, protein, & omega 3 fatty acid. All the good stuff. Plus it’s whole wheat. I had to get used to it…..but since I love, love, love pasta and didn’t want to stop eating it……I learned to like it.

rn

Now snack wise………have you seen the new 100 calorie packs by Nabisco? Sorry no pics for these. Well the new ones are Oreo, Chocolate Chip, & Nutter Butter Chewy Granola Bars. The CChip & NButter has 1.5g of fat and the Oreo has 2g. They have 0g Trans fat & Cholesterol.

rn

Another cool snack….and I mean cool literally…….is Skinny Cow Ice Cream. I usually have an ice cream sandwich on my treat day which is Saturday.

rn

Well I have tons more to share……but I don’t want to blog you down. 

rn

Do you all have any low fat and/or low calorie favorites?

rn

Consistency

One thing for sure……you have to be consistent with the weight loss journey. It’s definitely not fun and easy……but end the long run….it is soooooo worth it. The health benefits out weigh the aesthetics. So I’m happy to say……I’m on my way to a healthier me. I lost a total of 6lbs this week. I honestly think that was a fluke. The most I’ve ever lost was 1-2lbs a week. I think it was because I upped my exercise and lowered my calorie intake to 1200.

rn

Well that’s all well and good…..but that’s “not” going to be a normal fit for me so I’m goint to test out doing 1200 calories this week with working out only 4 days. Here’s my regimen for this week.

rn

 

rn

(HIIT) = High Intensity Interval Training

rn

Monday: 1,200 

rn

Tuesday: 1,200 calories (HIIT) 

rn

Wednesday: 1200 calories

rn

Thursday: 1,200 calories (HIIT) 

rn

Friday: 1,200 calories

rn

Saturday: 1,600 calories (HIIT)  My treat day

rn

Sunday: 1,200 calories

rn

 

rn

Have a wonderful week everyone…..

rn

Be strong, choose wisely, & keep your eyes on the prize.

rn

If you can believe it……you can achieve it.

rn

I’m in this fight with you all.

I did it…..

Well that 2lb weight gain over the Easter weekend has turned into a 5lb loss this week. I wasn’t suppose to weigh myself till Monday but I was so anxious to know how I was doing.

rn

What a huge ego booster…….I’m so proud of myself. I’m still going to weigh myself on Monday just to see if anything’s changed.

rn

Have a wonderful weekend everyone……and stay strong and keep up the fight.  

Back on track 2

Well I’m gonna get this 2lbs. off by next Monday…….so here’s my exercise and calories for the week. I enjoyed pigging out…..but now it’s back to business.
