    She Came!!!!

    hi all! well, a busy week here and i have not had much time at all for the board but i had to check in today and share my excitement! that famous whoosh fairy came to see ME!

    i have been hoovering between 180-182 for a couple of weeks. i stayed close to the board, read a lot, and jess, bless her heart, told me "stay true to the program and it will work for you..."

    today i was down to 178!!!!!!! didja all hear me screaming and jumping up and down? my new goal is 175 by april 6, my birthday. that would be the best present!

    i have to say that if i did not have all your great and inspiring posts to read daily i am not sure i would have stuck it thru...so THANK YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!!! i am feeling so much better,,,,lots of water, daily elliptical and low carbs. last night at dinner i KNEW there was a reason i said no to the homebread and butter at our restaurant table!

    if i can do this WOL, then anyone can...i am the world's worst procrastinator, excuse maker, and carbaholic.....just sharing this so anyone who was in my shoes will know,,,,HANG IN THERE!!!

                    Re: She Came!!!!

                    Hey there! The girl's BB is doing good (Latta is the queen!), boys....not so good! I'm in Jax. Understand about the set backs. Broke my arm in Dec. Wore the cast like a good girl. Having a hard time recuperating. The arm didn't heal quite well. Blah...blah...blahh - in a splint for another month, with possible surgery...ugh.

                    ANYWAY!! I started the Slim in 6, had to modify the workout for the arm. Maybe you could do some modifications? The floor work would probably be good (I tell ya - I cursed the pixie every day with those butt crunchers!) There's also tummy crunches that'll be gentle on your legs.

                    I hope the whoshie fairy visits for a couple of days. Send her to Tarheel Country when you're done, please!
