Hey girl, you know that beauty comes from the inside - but you've got it on the outside too! And extra poundage doesn't mean a thing.

Your the best!
I know when to take a compliment. So I am taking it!
Thanks Sweetie!
You know the same applies to you to. When this is all said and done we will both be "smokin".

You need to update your Summer Solstice Challenge asap. I will be calculating everything momentarily!

Bella--you go girl! Picking up Squiggy types at the gym!!!

Hey, Squiggy was one of my favs on that show--he and Lenny together were hilarious!

And honey, I've been telling you for ages how hot you are--this is nothing new. You better hire Sweatpea to be your butt kicking body guard, b/c I have a feeling that guy won't be the only one at the gym putting the moves on ya. It's the price you have to pay for being beautiful. Enjoy!

Even though I already said it in our team thread--CONGRATS ON THE NEW LOW!!!

Congrats on your loss - and on being hit on by SQUIGGY!!! LOLOL That is hilarious!

You are motoring with your WL, sister! Happy for you. BTW, my DH is also a minister, currently doing construction. He went from pastor to plasterer, but was never a plastered pastor (much to the relief of the congregation!).

Keep up the great work, and do try to avoid Squiggy

Cheers
ABBA

Hey Bella!
First of all a big thanks for keeping my diary warm while I wasn't here! THANKS!!!

Congrats on your new low! I'm not surprised to see you doing great...You're as determined and focused as always.

He he he, I laughed so much at the Squiggy type...But that only confirms what everyone has been saying to you: YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL!!!

Have a great day!

India

LOL@plastered pastor!! Has he plastered a pastor though?

Hey Bella, hope you had a good weekend.

OMGoodness!!!!

I was laughing my butt off at the plastered pastor!!!!
Whoo! That made my day!

Just popping in real quick as I need to pick up my beautiful daughter from school in about 10 minutes.
This weekend was a killer! LOL
I have told you guys already that dh and I are doing that Financial Peace University thing.
So to lend some help from my end of the spectrum I did the only thing that I could to add some $$$ to the bank account. I picked up extra hours at work doing my old job.
And let me tell you something. It still is just as physically demanding as before but since I have lost 43 pounds and been working out I didn't feel so exhausted while doing it or afterwards!!!
The boss who I worked for on Friday asked if I would like to come in early on Sunday as well. At first I was like "no". But when he said that we could work it out that I could go to church and still get like 4 hours I changed my tune.
So in all starting from 11am on Friday when I first went to work until last night when I clocked out at 12:40am I worked I worked a total of 38 hours!!!!
Now that is slamming some hours in.
Dh was an absolute sweety this morning. He got the kiddos around for school and let me sleep.
I DIDN'T GET UP UNTIL 12PM!!!! LOL
Guess I was tired.
So with all the physical hours at work (I am counting them as exercise) I got in 6 1/2 hours of exercise.
Of course that doesn't mean that I won't still be doing all my usual stuff. Just that since that was something that my body is no longer use to doing and it is so physically demanding I figured it could count for this weeks challenge.
Thanks to everyone who dropped in on me over the weekend.
As soon as I can get some time I will cruise around to everyone's diaries. Most likely tonight after the kids have gone to bed.
I'll catch ya'll later!

I'm tired just reading your post! You ARE superwoman, Bella.

I hope your H appreciates what a great wife he has. I think it was his duty to get the kids off to school this morning so you could sleep. Maybe I'm just a harda$$. But it annoys me when women work full time and are expected by their husbands to do almost everything around the house, plus take care of the kids. I figure if they made enough money in the first place, their wives wouldn't have to work outside the home unless they wanted to.

You really have become an exercise queen. YOu are an inspiration. I am up-ing my workout sessions now too!

Awww! Thanks!
I think it has alot to do with the weather changing.
I really wanted to walk to the YMCA today but couldn't due to a time constraint.
I was really looking forward to walking too.
Oh well there is always tomorrow.
Ciao!

Hey All~
Power cleaning the house today! And man let me tell you after working all those hours that I did this last weekend my house needed it! LOL Planning on taking a walk with T-Dawg today to the library. And from there walking over to dd's school to pick her up.
And if the weather holds we will all walk to the YMCA tonight. And of course home again.
Man I do love when the sun is shining. And it is starting to show in my over all attitude towards everything.
Exercise, housework ect.
I am planning on watching the BL finale tonight. I really hope that Kelly pulled out all the stops. I want her to win soooo badly!!!
I think out of all the ones who are left she has the greatest potential to win it. That is IF she worked it hard.
Hope everyone is having a good day.
I know I am!
Catch ya'll later.......the sweeper is calling my name. LOL!

Hey Bell,

Thanks for being such a good workout partner. You know I don't think I'd even be going to the Y if you weren't there (membership or not.)

I'm sure my arms are going to be sore tomorrow.

*blushing *
Your welcome. You made it easy. So many times Kelly will put me with someone new since I know the ropes and I am never sure what exactly they are hoping to get out of the class. Then of course they don't come back. Or they are so sporadic that I can't figure out why they even bother. Since it really is the kind of class that builds off of itself.
With you I know what your looking for. And I also know that you really do want to do your absolute best. That is why I pushed you a bit on the bench. 'Cuz I know you really wanted to do more.
Your the bestest best friend ever!
Sorry your gonna be so sore tomorrow. Just remember that every time your getting stronger.
