I posted a blog earlier today about Kama and I challenging each other.  Well, she set up my challenge in the Wildcats forum and I’m here to let all of Kama’s supporters know that she is being challenged to keep her sodium at or under 2,000 mg a day.  Make sure you visit her and cheer her on!!!! 

” alt=”" /> Hey folks,

 Kama and I are getting ready to challenge each other and we need your support!  (Subliminal message is “pick me, pick me, pick me!).  Our challenge will be announced tonight.  Check the blogs and forums often to see how we are doing and to put in your vote!!!!

Afternoon Buddyslimmers!  Hope everyone is having a fantastic Friday!  As some of you know and some of you may not the Wildcats have split their team into the Tigers and the Lions.  So we have some inner team competition.  Anyway, this weeks competition is to do lower body exercises every time you go to the bathroom.  A set of 10 will let you empty your bladder.  10 squats, 10 leg lifts, 10 whatever :)  I have now officially opened up the challenge to all in Buddyslim land.  So drink your water so you have to go to the bathroom and get your squats in! 

Hey Buddyslimmers,

Because I live in my own little world I’m having a hard time thinking something that is happening in my little town has made national news.  However, I did just read that the person involved has been contacted by both Dr. Phil and by Dan Rather.

Has any of you heard about the lady that wore her loaded Glock 26, openly on her hip to her 6 year olds soccer game?  Well….up until the beginning of school she used to be my daughter’s day care provider.  Anyway, I just can’t believe that this is getting as much attention as our daily newspaper is suggesting. 

I would love to hear from any of you that have heard this snippet of news and what your takes are on it.

 Maybe later I will come back and blog about some “insider” facts that I have, but for now I would like your objective opinions.

Thanks!!

Good Morning Buddyslimmers! 

I just got off the phone with Nicole.  She had her baby via C-section yesterday at 1:30.  She asked me to introduce Mikayla Robyn to her Buddyslim family.  Mikayla is 5 lbs, 3 oz and is 17 1/2 ” long.  Mom and baby are both doing well.

Good Morning All!

I just wanted to take a moment to remind you of what your words can do in the lives of others without you even knowing it.  A while back (probably a couple of months ago) someone wrote a blog about wearing red lipstick.  The jist of the blog was that it was something that she wouldn’t normally do, and by “stepping out of the box” she gave herself more confidence and opened the door for more possibilities. 

Well, that blog really stuck with me.  Please bear with me as I tell you how.  On Monday, I wore a pair of grey dress pants with a green turtleneck sweater.  I got out of the car when I got home and my husband not only told me how good I looked, but proceded to whistle loud enough for the whole neighborhood to hear.  LOL.  So then yesterday I wore a pair of black dress pants and a light pink sweater that was a bit snug and a bit more low cut than I usually wear.  I made sure to “redo” my make up before I got home to see what kind of reaction I could get from Tim with that.  Well, without going into too much detail, he kept sending me text messages (even though we were in the same house) that were VERY arrousing to say the least.  Well, you can guess what we ended up doing last night ;)  This morning I woke up and wanted this to go three days in a row.  I checked out my closet and nothing looked as good as everything else did.  Soooo, I went to the back of the closest (you know where the things are kept that I may someday wear?) and found my black, leather, knee high, high heeled boots, a black skirt with white flowers embroidered on the bottom and a low cut snug black shirt.  My first thought…There ain’t no way I’m leaving the house wearing this…I would never wear something like this!  That’s when the Red Lipstick blog hit me.  So off I went to get my shower while contemplating this.  After the shower I decided, “Why not?”  Isn’t this like the Red Lipstick?  So I did my hair, put on my make up and then got dressed.  I didn’t look in the mirror until I was completely finished, thinking that I was certainly going to have to come up with a back up plan.  Guess what buddies?  I wore the outfit!  I love the outfit!  I got checked out while pumping gas in the outfit!  My boss came in to work and said that it certainly isn’t what she is used to seeing me wear, but she loves me in it!  Hmmmmm….wonder what kind of text messages I may get tonight?  LOL!

So to wrap up this long winded blog…I wanted to thank whoever wrote that blog about the Red Lipstick.  Your words have definitely impacted me and I feel that I am a person that is growing more and more comfortable with myself because of them.

Hello buddyslimmers!  I hope this blog finds you all doing well and heading towards your weight loss goals

 Just a little note, Nicole (fellow buddyslimmer) called me a few minutes ago and she is going to have her baby today!  She went to the doctor for her ultrasound this morning and because her amniotic fluid is low they have decided to induce.  So it was a quick stop home after the doctor’s appointment to get her hubby and off to the hospital.  She called as they were waiting for a room to open up.  Unfortunately, her dad isn’t scheduled to come till next Tuesday, but at least he will be with her in spirit.

As far as Kama goes, she is doing okay.  Nicole said that they have their moments where things are going well and then it hits them and they have a rough spot to get through.  I don’t know when Kama will be coming back but I will keep you posted on both Kama and Nicole!

 Have a wonderful Tuesday everyone!

Good morning fellow Buddy Slimmers and Happy Friday to you all!  I just wanted to take a moment to tell you all how proud I am to be a Wildcat.  A few things happened this morning that practically brought a tear to my eye and I felt the need to share.

First off we all know that our wonderful Kama has been going through some really rough times over the past few weeks.  It has been amazing for me to watch her continue to have a wonderful attitude and still find the time to be here for all of us as she always has.  Sorry buddies, I love you all, but if I had that much stuff going on in my life I would have left BS slip by the wayside a bit.  But not our fearless leader!  Every day she has found the time and the gumption to touch base with her buddies and to keep us posted on what is going on with her.   That says alot about her devotion and loyalty to not only Buddyslim, but her team as well.

Secondly, I logged on this morning to get the Wildcats weigh ins as Friday is now our weigh in day.  I was pleasantly surprised to see the hard work of alot of our members paying off.  So far everyone that has weighed in has showed a loss!  Some members have even showed a loss of three pounds or more!  Two members even had a loss of 6 pounds a piece!!  That’s some major weight loss we are talking about!

Thirdly I made my way into the forums and noticed that a member was having a rough time.  Getting discouraged like we all do.  I was at a loss for words because by the time I went to respond to help lift her spirits up there were all of the team members already doing that exact thing! 

I have never been more proud to be a Wildcat and have never been more proud to lead a team full of such compassionate and hard working people!

I will continue to stand strong and stand proud for my team and will continue to stand beside Kama to lead this wonderful group of ladies!

So to wrap it all up…I just wanted to thank each and every member of the Wildcats (no matter how involved you are in forums or blogs) for making being a part of this team such a wonderful experience.

 Now, get out there….get moving…and for heaven’s sake, drink your water!

Just so you all know, I now have some outside competition.  My sister-in-law who I love dearly called me last night and said that she saw that I have 15 pounds left to lose and she has 15 pounds to lose from having Jackson (only a month ago!).  And she wants to race to see who can get there first!  I’m gonna need your extra support for this one since my weight loss has slowed down considerably.

 They say that if you want to improve gas mileage in your car, don’t load it down with extra things as the extra things make up extra weight and it takes extra gas to get a car loaded down with extra weight moving.  So…next time you get into your car, think about how much weight you have lost and KNOW that you aren’t carting that around in your car anymore, thus saving you gas.
