Falcon Says

Couldn't sleep.
Lounging around on the couch, trying to doze off to the t.v., but was compelled to get up and jump on the internet for a bit.

Thinking I was just going to surf around and kill time to get drowsy, something told me to google 'divine matrix'.
What I found, inside. Follow the youtube links to parts 2, 3, 4 & more of the audio...and more from Gregg Baden. Human conscience effects, emotions, dna, intelligence, language of universe.....fascinating stuff.

Was just talking to my uncle the other day about his old air conditioning unit in his rental house that we will be moving into this summer.

Wish I had invested in a de-humidifier here in Oregon, but I don't think I'll need one of those in California. Check out this website.

There are a ton of featured products on this website. On the left sidebar there is a huge list of categories and brand names to choose from. I am very impressed and if you're a regular reader, you know my pet peeve is the contact page. I am happy to report they fully disclose their physical address, email address and phone number! Rock on. I'm hot so I'm going to get cool. Cool chics rule.

Hi SchedmanTed,
;-) I didn't look around to see who was in the room, but glad you were there. I have entered the contest several times and then finally read the rules yesterday. . . .I needed to upload my before pic to qualify instead of just my profile pic. So, I missed out on the $1,000 entry yesterday and all those red Xs before meant nothing.
But today's red X for $300 should work, we'll see. WOWY is the only place I have my before pic posted. . . of this site, facebook, my blog and myfitnesspal.com. . . .I am shy/bites pinky. (ya right) GREAT WORKOUT TODAY!

If you're thinking I'm about to vent some frustration about my kid, you're off.
It is the childish mentality of some adults that I am irritated with, but that's what I get for spending too much time on fk'n facebook.

That was a blessing in disguise tho. The last straw I needed to get the heck out of the black hole of my universe. Life's too short for such PETTY BS to get under my feathers and steel an ounce of my lovely energy. I'll be back to grace them with my presence, I have true friends there, but for now, KISS MY BEAUTIFUL ASS F'erz.


Yesterday a nice young lady deleted one of my posts but she was thoughtful enough and mature enough to send me a message to let me know her reasoning behind it. Although I don't agree with her, it was her facebook wall and she had every right to delete whatever she wanted and I see, from her side, what upset her. We exchanged a couple emails, I apologized for accidentally upsetting her, and that was the end of that.

There's another certain someone that, well, let's just say we are not on the same communication frequency as of late. Fine by me, I initiated the pull-back. But I, in my own humble-biased-prideful opinion, continued to be adult enough to recognize the full-grown-boy-child of his presence on this earth while we both were obviously on-line at times. I would comment on his posts once in a while, to continue to be a friend of sorts.

He, on the other hand had clearly dissed 99.9% of my posts and not even acknowledge when I would grace his wall. I gave it a few days, tried not to be a h.s. chic keeping mental score, but he still was dissing my FB. Fine. So I didn't even comment on any of his posts anymore, and I wasn't commenting on all of his anyway, just enough to let him know I am still alive. All along knowing I was the one that initiated the distance.

So, after about a day and a 1/2 of me ignoring the child, he pops up in chat, then an email, then a text on my cell phone. Ha, as in Seinfeld, I had 'hand' again, as in upper hand. I responded only briefly to the email and did not respond to my cell phone text and left it at that.

This afternoon, he posted something about Memorial Day BBQs and he had several commenter's on that thread, nice. One of his friends made some reference to George Bush needing strong sedatives, referring to his commonly known alcohol issues. So, immediately after that, after it clearly posted that it was GEORGE BUSH, I type "(namexxxx) are you going to do the 'Bush-glug-glug' at the bbq?" as in glugging beer is all I was thinking!!!! I was DELETED. Gimme a Break.

Still sensitive after yesterday's delete from the other nice lady. I look up to see if I have any message from him as an offering explanation, nothing. I see he's been on for quite a while, so I pop up a chat with him and leave it there during American Idol, ignored! LAME^%$#@!

All I can think after the fact, is that he must have thought I meant going down on some bush and he was being sensitive about his public wall. This is NOT THE FIRST TIME. This is the 3rd time he has waaaay over-reacted. At least the other 2 times he sent me a message or called me. This time I was blatantly ignored.

Life is too short. I'm outta FB for a while. It's childish and I do not understand overly sensitive dorks.

Have you ever had your auto-body repair guaranteed for life?
I have not and here is a site that offers just that.

Auto Body Corona of FixAuto.com.

The last time I needed auto body repair was years ago, knock on wood. And while the fix was premium at a glance and structurally sound, upon closer look there were gashes gouged across my BLACK paint that was never fixable. The body-shop claimed it was already there and there was nothing I could do, they strong armed me. I'll never forget it. Every time I wax my vintage black BMW 530i, I think of that jerk.

Next time I am in Corona, California, I want to check these featured guys out. I bet they will take good care of me and my baybay. I am a big fan of website review and research. And I am especially picky about the contact page, if you have read my posts before. This website not only offers address and phone number, but the name of the General Manager.

The website offers videos and extensive detail into the 9 step process to fixing your ride and get you rolling back out. If they have that much eye for detail and professional service on the website, I am confident to bring my ride in for inspection.

Cross your fingers or whatever you have to cross and pray to that you never need auto-collision repair service, but bookmark this site with me now.

F'n SPAM email! I am so sick of all the piles of crap spam.
This effer has the nerve to contact me, thanking me for contacting him! Ya, he wishes!
I sent him a tasty morsel in return, via the contact me on his website.

I just received SPAM email from you thanking me for contacting you. I NEVER have contacted you, ever. I find it disgusting that more and more persons in the political arena just take it upon themselves to do whatever they want. You should be supporting ANTI-SPAM and you should be ashamed you let your staff do this. Not only was this BLATANT SPAM, but there is NO UNSUBSCRIBE link to your spam email.

NEVER SEND ME ANOTHER SPAM EMAIL.
REMOVE ME FROM YOUR LIST IMMEDIATELY.
I DO NOT WANT TO EVEN SEE A REPLY TO THIS.

Thank goodness I already have plans to move out of this state. Oregon blows.

Weakness: Watches.
I love watches. Something about an elegant accessory that also serves a purpose and has its own brain built in.

I don't have enough watches, but I know where I am going to get more. Movado Watches


The Watchery watch blog website came across my desk today. I love a good find. I am bookmarking this one right away. I have sport watches for my work-outs, but a girl needs to get her girly-luxury on and bling about town. I do not have enough stylish watches.

My favorite section of the store is always the clearance way in the back. The Watchery puts their clearance right up front and super easy to find. But you have to act fast. A lot of the watches are sold out already and others are last one in stock. My favorite of the current clearance items is a Concord Crystale Ladies' 18K white gold, diamond dial, pink sapphire, bezel pink sapphire bracelet for the sale price of $19,995. I'll get right on that, after I win the lottery. But yes, I totally want it!

The blog has all the watches listed by brand and there are very detailed blog post write-ups about many featured watches. There is a link to the Watchery website to purchase your favorite bobble for yourself or for a great gift for your special honey. There are luxury Mens' and Womens' watches!

The contact page is always very important to me, especially when it is a sales website and consumers are spending hard earned money. The Watchery contact page offers their full address, toll free phone number, email and hours of business.

Haven't done the second half of my work-out yet today, so I'll update my P90X later. Actually, I have 3part work-out today: Shoulders and arms that I just did 1hr, 5mi run, in about an hour and Ab Ripper X this evening.

But, for now, I wanted to post something in regards to myfitnesspal.com, my food diary and forum posts.

Hey,
Don't beat yourself up. We all goof. My conscience has been wanting me to share suppin w/the group, but I am so embarrassed! I was super bad girl last night. I ate an entire bag of jelly-beans (something triggered me and it was an emotional binge)

I was good girl to log it on my food diary, but as soon as I saw how much carbs and calories it was, I freaked and made myself vomit 3xs trying to get rid of it all. I instantly felt so much better, but I know this is not healthy at all. None of you know me, but I can honestly say this NOT MY ROUTINE.

Phew, it's out there, I can let it go now. So, demezat, you were not the only bad girl last night! & you enjoyed yours! ha ha ♥Karen

For dog lovers all around the world, one of the most invaluable investments in your dog's health is proper training. With so many trainers to choose from, it sometimes can be difficult to make the proper choice.

A well informed decision is the only way to go; do your research first. The best website for dog training, breed specific training, came across my desk today. Read about the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and more, inside.

The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is one of my favorite breeds of all time. Energetic and smart as a whip, they do require precise training. A happy, healthy King Charles Spaniel is guaranteed to be the love of your life. These dogs are often boasted one of the most lovable breeds of all. Exceptionally loyal and adorably small to mid-sized, the King Charles Spaniel will do well in apartment settings, a small home, a small yard or no yard if taken out regularly for fresh air and potty breaks.

Similar to the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, the Pembroke Welsh Corgi is small to mid-size and very affectionate. The Welsh Corgi will also do well in an apartment, small home with little yard or no yard. Corgis are bountiful and playful with the children of the family, but caution must be used with no overly rough play. The Corgi's smaller, disproportionate jointed legs can pose complications if forced to play too rough. Rarely would a Corgi or King Charles Spaniel ever turn to biting to warn their human family.

Attention to training and instruction on the body language of both breeds will ensure longevity and a lifetime of family memories and perfect photo-ops!

I have been committed and dedicated to my work-outs, my WOWY website schedule, work-out contest entries, forum discussions and entering my food & exercise on myfitnesspal.com. I am really proud of myself and the best part - my kid tells me she is proud of me and is seeing results.


Accountability: 5/18/09 Day8, P90X Chest & Back, AbRipper X, 60 min walk/run
Hi All,
1st day of week2. . . .uhhrrgg, in a good way.
My muscles are telling me it's working and the mirror is reflecting a little of that back to me.
Not substantial results yet, but I am happy with the progress and very VERY happy I ordered P90X!
Have a great evening everyone! ♥ Karen

Accountability: 5/19/09, Day9, P90X, Plyometrics, (xtra 60min walk/run later this eve.)
Hi All,
Happy Tues All. Sorry you're down Dave!
Was on myfitnesspal earlier on the message boards and a member was seeking advice on how to curb her cravings for chocolate. DARN! Now I want chocolate! The power of suggestion is strong, but the power of P90X is stronger and
Deez: you are right, I am seeing results! You are most probably right about them giving up & not visiting the forum discussions too. .. . the accountability and just knowing that I committed to WOWY & schedule work-outs and check in everyday here. . . .. with new-found friends....makes a big diff. ♥
Almost time for my pride to allow me to post a bikini pic, will that cheer up Dave? ah ha, I flatter myself :-) ♥ Karen
I should add, I got some of the best motivation last night. . .my 13yr daughter told me she is proud of me and sees the results already. "Wow Mom, your abs are flattening! You are really sticking with this. I'm proud of you Mom!"
~Life is good :-)

According to P90X, today is supposed to be a rest day, but I've got great momentum going and as long as I am so inclined to sweat, burn calories and work on my glutious maximus, I'll do it babay!

I'll do my usual post from my forum communique, but I have a bonus today. I took pics of my usual run spot here in Oregon. I hope to add more pics to 'running' facebook album from other parts of this Oregon town before we move back to Cali.


Hi All,
I'm getting irritated. This may show up as a 3rd post, in that case I will delete my xtras, but sheeesh, my post keeps going into neverneverland, and I don't mean Michael Jackson's playground.
*************************************************
Hi All,
Maaaan, don'tcha hate it when you prepare a long post and it just goes 'bloop' into nowhereland?!

WesB: I just noticed your post to others and to me - helping me to adjust my calm & storm, just wanted to letcha know I just saw that and THANK YOU. It puts it in perspective.

My longer version went on to say that I sure 'hope' I don't ever think of Ore as one of my fave places to live, eeeegats. I am glad we tried it, & it's a nice place to visit, but I will never live here again. There's no place like home, Cali. But I get your point, the grass is always greener. . .somewhere else.

My longer also went on to say that yesterday I did a registered sex offender search in my old neighborhood where we are moving to and there are dot-markers aaalll over that map! As compared to only 1 marker in our current Ore neighborhood and that was back in 1991.
If anyone is interested in searching their neighborhood with a free search & map, go to familywatchdog.us. . . you can click on each dot to see the sex offender pic & their conviction.

Hi All,
Beautiful weather, Beautiful people
Keep up the great work-outs!
xoxo ~Karen

Found a fun new tool to help with my latest craze, exercise and weight loss. MyFitnessPal.com and the best part, it's FREE!

There are really helpful tools, charts, calorie counters, exercise tracker, reports, matrix, all kinds of great stuff to help my progress. There are forum boards too, and I am tempted to visit with folks there, but between the forums on P90X, friends on facebook and wanting to keep up more on my blog, who has time to join another freakin forum when I should be out WORKING MY ASS OFF!

Now, this ticker will be automatically updated as I progress on my diet and exercise, so for now, it looks pretty shameful. I have been doing my P90X for a week now, but I haven't lost any weight. I'm not worried about that because I know it's more about inches and not about the numbers. The fat-weight that I have 'lost' has simply turned to kick-ass muscle I bet. HA HA!

Created by MyFitnessPal - Easy Calorie Counting

Day 6 P90X today was Kempo and I LOVE it! Pretty wiped out so I'm just going to post my latest forum communique inside:

Accountability: 5/16/09 Day6, P90X KEMPO X
Hi All,
Kempo is my new fave :-) I sweat the most today so far. It was just pouring off me.
Kempo is so EMPOWERING! I love it. I want my daughter to start the P90X with me, at a comfortable pace, whatever she can do. She is 13, but in excellent shape and taller than me. She's a purple belt in Karate, but today's KEMPO is something I'd really like her to master.

Ok, can't think of any more. Kina wiped out, in a good way. Oh, I did think of something . . . . I noticed during the warm-up that I am already much more flexible! I am very happy about that because I thought it may take a while for me to maneuver better.

Have a great evening everyone!
~Karen

Today is day 6 of my P90X & I'll post my Day 6 progress later, but I need to catch up and post the previous day 4& 5 now. I am still loving the work-outs but I am also in a little bit of pain, but I think it's pain from progress. I feel much better today than yesterday, so I know my muscles are recovering.

Was having to miss just a little bit of yesterday's workout because I don't have the pull-up bar yet, but another member on the message boards gave me a great tip on how to jury-rig my band thru the door jam, up n over the top hinge! I was wondering why on the videos they say to use the bands as an alternate if you don't have the pull-up bar, yet on the videos, they get to work-out in this big, elaborate, professional room and their bands are securely attached to some equipment from the ceiling. HELLO! We don't have that shit at home!

So I don't have to type my P90X progress over and over, I'm taking to copying and pasting my work-out-site forum posts here:


Accountability: 5/14/09 P90X Day 4 Yoga X, Diet (Y)
Hi All,
Yoga is great. I like it a lot, can't say I love it yet because I am just being frustrated that I can't get it as precise as the Pros on t.v. in time, in time.

The only one I could absolutely NOT do at all was CRANE. I tried and tried but could not even move up onto my hands, not even with one foot on the floor. I think with more Yoga and with increased flexibility, I'll be able to pull that off.

Yoga is MUCH more intense and difficult than I could have ever imagined! It is invigorating and tough. My only disappointment with the 'system' so far . . . . .was today's WOWY.
Today was my first real-time WOWY entry, and I was surprised and disappointed to see that the progress bar automatically jumped to my next work-out and I was NOT GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO HIT THE "DONE" button when the Yoga time ran out....I did NOT see that coming. I was reluctant to hit 'done' too soon, as I approached my computer and saw the timer still had 2 minutes on it. I thought if I hit it before the time was out, the system would think I gave up my work-out too soon and be disqualified. So I waited, then WHAMMO, on to my next work-out and I didn't even get a blink of an eye to hit done.....ArRrGH

I walk/run in the evenings and I did not know my WOWY work-out progress bar was going to automatically jump to that timer. . . . So my WOWY entry today is just BOGUS and I don't know how I am going to "record/schedule" my xtra evening work-outs and enter WOWY. I am sure this awesome team here can give me some good feedback tips n tricks around this. I am so bummed that I am not entered in today's WOWY after my earnest Yoga work-out, boo hoo :-(

I sent an email to the WOWY admin contact for that concern and will see/post what they reply. Thanks for letting me vent. Ordinarily, I do not take the whiny approach. So, I guess I really just should not have whined then. ha ha!

Hi All,
I already posted my accountability earlier as I had a 9am yoga today. . . but just for sh*ts n giggles I did xtra. . . .really trying to rip double-time (or just punish myself???)
Deez: Ya, don't beat yourself up. We all have downtime.

Jazzwyld: I am so thrilled you did crane! Today was my first yoga, I could NOT get the crane, but deez gave me great tips for next time.

DenverDave: (((HAPPY BIRTHDAY))) And, hey now, he's single ladies! Sorry to hear about your breakup, but it looks like you sure posted it in good spirits, so WELCOME to SinglezVille ♥

So, for my xtra rippin fun time after my 9am Yoga accountability this morn. I did 1hour walk/run this evening and when I got back. . . I was feeling kina pumped so, care to guess what I did? I pulled out the ol AB RIPPER X BBz! Dahts Rawght!! Must be progress cuz I managed to Ab Rip that puppy with only 2 mini-itsy-weensie-insignificant breaks this time. (((YESSSS))) (can you tell how stoked I am?)
xoxo ~Karen
****************************************************
Karen - your enthusiasm is awesome! But don't go too nuts. We want you to succeed and not burn out too quick. Tony even says at some point about not doing abs every day. Plus the Yoga workout has the Yoga belly 7 in it. I suggest you skip the abs tomorrow when you do Legs and Back. You've already done them 3 times this week.
-----------------------------------
I agree with him, Karen.

The workouts break down the muscles...
as they rebuild themselves in recovery we make our gains.

Over training burns precious muscle mass...
without allowing it to rebuild.

Channel your zest... don't do abs back to back.

Just like any muscle group.

It is a marathon not a sprint.

You are doing great, keep it up!
----------------------------------------
Ya (head low n humble), you guys & gals are right.
Ok, I'll chill and stick with the program.

What am I going to do with all this xtra energy and enthusiasm up here in podunk Oregon???
I need to get back to Cali, born n raised, friends n family there. . .

We move back to Cali this summer, NOT SOON ENOUGH.
Sorry fellow Oregonians, but this state blows.
Like the ol saying, "Nice place to visit, but..."

Accountability: 5/15/09, P90X Day5, Legs & Back
Hi All,
I managed to do about 1/2 my accountability tonight. I don't have a pull-up bar yet and I do have bands. . . but nothing to attach my bands to. I'll have to invest in a pull-up bar soon. Interesting that 'The Kutchers' are doing the X, nice.
Wishing everyone a super evening!
xoxo ~Karen
************************************************
Hi All,
STEVE! Thank You soooo much for the excellent tip for my bands! I will do that! I don't want to miss out on any aspects of the work-outs, yet I can't quite fork-out xtra for the pull-up bar right now. I bit into the budget just ordering the P90X. Well worth it though.
Great post reads today!
Hope you all are enjoying your weekend. It's a beautiful sunny day in Oregon today, gunna go for a nice walk/run. Kempo is my accountability later today.
See y'all later,~Karen

Dated someone some years ago with a Dodge Van. We never parked anywhere remote to play, but we had fun going to movies and dinner. That van was pretty reliable, but the radiator did give us a headache at times. Finally it just blew up.

This website just found its way across my desk and we could have used this service back then. Dodge Van Radiator

I remember the day the radiator finally blew. We were on the freeway in the middle of a hot afternoon. We were young and should have had the radiator checked out before it got to that bad.

I like this website because you can locate a store near you for radiator help by just putting in your zip code. There are great videos on the website, frequently asked questions and articles. And I am especially pleased at the contact page. That is one of my key check-points when checking out a new site. Do they have a way to contact a live person immediately, and the answer is YES! The website offers an 800 number to call them or you can use the webform to send a message.

I am definitely bookmarking this website because we all need help with our radiator once in a while over the years. Dodge Van Radiator

On Day 3 of my P90X workouts and lovin it!

The burn feels so good. I've heard it described as better than sex and I have to agree. I am getting addicted to the endorphin rush. And, since I haven't had any action in a very very, you don't even wanna know, very long time, these work-outs serve me two-fold! Endorphins and fitness. I then get to grace the world with my rockin bod! HA!

Yesterday was a challenging day, emotional-wise. Emotions have a way of tricking me and tripping me up. I can't let that get in my way. I definitely want the rockin 110% hard-core athletic body of all time and I KNOW the P90X training will get me there in 90days!

I had a little spat with someone that has grown special to my heart. My head stepped in and made a decision to pull way back and focus my attention more back on just me n my kid, well and our critters. So, yeah, basically I kina broke up with someone. It's real and real-lame at the same time, but there are real feelings involved so it was tricky.

I should post this on my 'down, write blog', so maybe I'll just copy it over there.
Here's the lame part, we met on Facebook. Hit it off and visited a lot everyday. Have yet to meet in person, both being cautious. He's been separated from his wife for about 1 year and a half but is still legally married, so that's a flag right there.

They do shared custody with the kids, and since he is not legally divorced yet, he is extra careful about what goes up on his Facebook wall, which I have been respectful of. There have been a few instances where he got his knickers in a twist over what I post on his wall and we've talked about it. I didn't think they were anything out of line, and in fact, here are two real examples of what happened. The others were even more so insignificant that I don't even remember what the issue was.

This first recollection is a comment post on a picture of him and his mom on mother's day. I posted that it was a 'cute pic'. After me, another female friend typed, 'super cute pic'. So, after her, to be funny, I typed, 'fine, super duper cute'. At this point, he contacted me to 'discuss' why he thought that was inappropriate to be catty fighting on his wall and looking all jealous of some other girl or something. 1)Say hello to your ego and 2)did you read it? It was just fine, super duper cute. Gimme a break. It wasn't the first time he brought something up to me and I was beginning to get annoyed at his over-paranoia to stupid words on stupid facebook.

The next day, we were visiting about something entirely different and he let me know, that by the way, I was right because the other girl, I guess works at his office and approached him and said she 'likes what Karen types' and thought my snappy come-back was cute. He told her that he had words with me about it and she apparently was able to let him know to lighten up. He is so worried about his "x" wife finding anything on his wall, maybe he's not really separated?? Hmm, could that be it? I don't know, but his ever growing paranoia and what I am about to reveal next gave me enough reason to break off even just the simple facebook fascination.

Some days after that, he comments on how he only ate a salad for dinner and he was starving and if it were earlier, he would run out and get a fast food burger. So, to that I commented, 'No Noooo, No more fast food for me man'. Because by now, most of my friends and mutual friends, via the wall, know that I am on P90X and in strict regimen of what I consume. About an hour after that, it was getting late and I decided to just send him a quick pop-up chat to let him know I was signing off facebook and his reply was curt. I typed back, 'what's wrong?' and he was short again. So, I picked up the phone and called him and heeeere's more drama!

He starts talking about how facebook is too public and he's going to back off for a while, bla bla bla. And I asked what all this was coming from and he said, "We have talked about this before. That I am very careful about what goes up on my wall." And I had NO IDEA what he was upset about. I told him I could tell by his short chat that something was definitely up and I know it's late but I want to know what I did or said. He starts in with, "Ahh nothing, forget it." I was not about to let it go since obviously he's accusing me of something, AGAIN.

He starts in again talking about how he can't believe that I did it again and whatever I typed on his wall and he's rambling, but with no specifics. I tell him again, 'I need you to tell me specifically what you are talking about and what I typed that was so bad because I have no idea what you are talking about.' He finally told me the exact thread and comment that bothered him. He said that I made reference to him being "my man" in my post on his fast food thread. I said he was reading it wrong! It is, 'No more fast food for ME, man.' As in I won't eat anymore fast food. I told him I could NOT BELIEVE he was getting attitude with me over a fast food comment and especially since I made NO REFERENCE to what he was talking about. I told him it is REALLY UNFORTUNATE that it's come to this.

We talked a little longer, he DID apologize. I asked him if he wanted me to erase my comment and he kina begrudgingly said no. We got off the phone, but I was upset for quite a while.

Later, actually, early in the morning, I got up and decided to drop him a note. I had been thinking of nothing but the incident. I got on to facebook, I did go and erase that comment I made because 1)it's mine to erase if I want anyway and 2)it obviously upset him so I just wanted to be done with it. I sent him a note telling him that I thought it over, could wait a few days and say that I have thought about it for days, but that I am already at my decision that since there are too many issues popping up over basically nonsense that I am going to be pulling waaaaaay back from our communication. I will not be flirting with him anymore and I don't want us acting like there's anything going on, because we haven't even met yet anyway. All of this is cropping up because he's not yet divorced anyway....if he were, he shouldn't care what I put on his wall. It's not fair to either one of us that I am kept a secret if he is separated. And basically, that I look forward to us meeting someday when he is really divorced.

What was his reply? Just short, of course! So, I think that means I hit the nail on the head.

Ok, I definitely want to blog on my progress everyday, but since I am excited about being actively involved on a few threads already for my P90X on TeamBeachBody.com, I realized I could just copy my forum posts over to my blog to track the same progress.

Maybe someday I'll get brave enough to post some home vids of my work-outs. YIKES! Maybe only after I see some progress. Until then, here is my most recent post on just one of the 3 discussion/support threads I have decided to join. This thread is great because the ENTIRE GROUP seems really set and dedicated toward holding accountability to each member. In fact, the top of our posts, we are supposed to announce in read what our work-out for the day is.

Me, being Virgo and a geek, I went a step further and posted that I held myself accountable to the P90X recommended diet for the day as well, and posted what I consumed. HA! That is so anal of me, and so me ;-) Here is my post:

Diet(Y):cottage cz breakfast, salad lunch, handful almonds snack, seafood n veggie dinner, water water water)

!WOW!
Accountability Indeed. I see there is going to be no side-stepping here, other than hard-core work-outs. Do you guys have some secret hidden wireless cyber-cameras out n about robotting households? JK, . . . .

I was just away from the computer for a couple hours and there are a TON of new posts, and that's just on this thread alone.

Man-ALIVE/WOman-ALIVE - YOU PEOPLE ROCK to be on our A**es so hard. Ride it, Bring it, Rock it. I am so glad there is such a dedicated group of people.

* * * MegaStoked: that's just your conscience lighting the fire under ya. You'll make up for it, you'll post to all of us about it, and you'll be so proud! Don't accidentally be so hard on yourself that you feel bad. I believe "BRING IT" also means to bring the great attitude, not just the hard work.

* * * Schedman Ted: Ok, so by joining this thread, I take it I am officially/automatically part of the accountability since I am on the MATRIX? Neat, I love the Matrix (only one of my all-time faves) Ok, so I'll put my daily ACCOUNTABILITY up top in red for all to read my progress or KICK MY A**

Amazing what a little text from real folk out there in 3D land can do for an addrenaline rush.
LOV'N IT (& I don't mean McDonalds!)

Never in my life did I ever imagine finding a website revolving around a cornhole game. There truly is everything under the sun on the internet.
You purchase actual corn hole bags and play a cornhole game with friends. There are even accessories and apparel for purchase. Stocking stuffers?

I've only ever heard the term cornhole in a derogatory, nasty way. That either says a lot about my siblings or doesn't say much for my family, because I honestly never knew it was a game.

Looks like it could be fun, for kids, but the website is geared toward all ages. The website offers links for free board building plans and the list of cornhole rules. I think I have a pretty loud and clear rule posted at my cornhole, exit only!

Received my P90X box Friday and conveniently enough, the P90X calendar to track my progress, starts on a 'monday', so that gave me the perfect out to take the weekend before the rest of my life 'off'. I had my daughter take my before pics, but I still refuse to post them here or facebook.


I may just have to upload my before shots to the P90X website forum and follow along with other fatties on our journey. I don't feel fat, especially since I've already been working out to prep for the grueling P90X. But what is it about the camera's captured image that looks so completely different than how I see myself in my head? It's disturbing!

Always on the lookout for a good investment, this interesting website found it's way across my desk today. Investment Forge


It's a website where you can find investment management resources. Earn money on-line and watch the progress with the analysis software.

There are several plans to choose from that you can deposit in a range from $50 to $100,000 dollars. There is a support link to contact them and an about page, but I don't see obvious phone numbers and physical mailing address, which would disappoint any investor. Why elusive?

My body is absolutely screaming at me tonight. I pushed it yesterday on my run after dinner and it felt like my ass was going to fall off and I knew since I felt that last night, the next day would be worse, like a car wreck.

Sure enough, I am hurtin but in a good way. So, I decided to push myself past it all over again today. I think I burned more fuel that I took in cuz I am absolutely exhausted. My rumpuss hurts, but a lot less than yesterday. I reached around and felt her up, she's getting taut, niiice.


I still have not received my P90X from the FedEx dude. I ordered it May 1st, so it should be any day now. I have been purposely pushing myself before I get my P90X so I can keep up with that regimen. I hear it is a bear. I don't want it to kick my sore end. Not much to blog about until my fitness junk arrives.

I am friends with one of the ladies that bought off my ebay and we visit on FaceBook. She asked if I could burn her some of my P90X dvds cuz she's been meaning to try it. I agreed to swap her my P90X for her to burn for her to send me her Hip Hop Abs & whatever else she can dig up, then send me my originals back. I hope this doesn't come back to bite my ever so sore glutes.

I keep talking about going back to school but I just have to get up and do it.
We are moving back to my home state, California, this summer and I plan to take a couple classes. It's good for me and it sets a good example for my daughter.

Here is another great website that found it's way across my desk. It's a very helpful website for student loans.


Everything at your fingertips to get started on the sometimes overwhelming task of preparing and filling out student loan forms. There are tons of links for resources to help you along the way. You can search for colleges if you haven't narrowed it down yet where you want to attend. You can even take your shot at winning a $10,000 scholarship giveaway!

There is a section for students to enter and/or for parents to enter. That's great, I hadn't seen that before. That's really helpful because we all know that the rents and the students see things very differently. So the different pages are aimed at that specific target audience!

Don't forget to check out the alternative loans link. Visit student loan network today for the BEST website for all your student loans questions and needs.

Seriously neglecting my blog in the past couple months.
I've been addicted to Crackbook. (facebook)

One thing I have thought that I would blog my progress on is my new P90X.
I ordered it May 1st and it should arrive any day now. I refuse to post
the 'before' pics. But I'll be damn proud to post my 'after'!

This is NOT me!
