Do you really want a really great ab workout?! Go to lunch with a good friend! Wait… not the lunch part exactly. But go to lunch with a girl friend that makes you laugh like crazy!! Tita THANK YOU!! My stomach still hurts!! I’m even counting lunch as my exercise today! I would have walked this morning but you’all know I can’t walk without Kaki! (So it’s all Kaki’s fault I slept in!) BUT! I really do try to have to have SOME type of exercise everyday and today I picked eating and laughing! See ya tomorrow! Here comes my plea for votes!! WOW! It’s now 2026 and I’m STILL whining about my weight. ACKKKK!!! While the Channel 10 challenge is over I’m still hosting a $50 Your Way Giveaway every month. So check the side bar.

  So it begins, the challenge of Holiday dieting begins!! Today is the first Christmas/Birthday party to get through and still manage to lose another 3 pounds by the end of the year. In my favor is the fact that everyone I know is aware I’m on a diet for the Half Year Resolution. And not in my favor is that EVERYONE I KNOW is aware I’m on a diet for the Half Year Resolution. I either get the LOOK that says “Can you have that!?” or “So how’s the diet going?!” So I will try and set a good example tonight. BUT if I drop my napkin under the table tonight it is NOT POLITE to follow me!! I’ll be back up at the table in a moment and just because I have crumbs on my chin doesn’t mean I was cheating!!! If you haven’t had a chance I’m hoping you will take a few moments and go vote for me! (Me as in Connie!) Thank you!! THANK YOU!!!! Oh and Happy Birthday LEE!!!! You’re HOW OLD?!?!? WOW! It’s now 2026 and I’m STILL whining about my weight. ACKKKK!!! While the Channel 10 challenge is over I’m still hosting…

The voting site is back up!! It’s time to vote! For real now! So to recap…..I am hoping you have found my journey to be inspirational as well as entertaining. If so please… VOTE for ME!! If not… well, vote for me anyway!! (As in me me me Connie me me me!!!) The voting box is up on the right hand side. It looks like this time you have to enter your email address and date of birth.

Well, I’m updating this post in 2026 and I’m STILL whining about my weight. ACKKKK!!! While the Channel 10 challenge is over I’m still hosting a $50 Your Way Giveaway every month. So check the sidebar.

Today was my weekly phone call with Tyler at WellStrong Fitness. Since I’m down again this week (27 pounds total!! WOOO HOOO!!) Tyler wants me to add an extra time with the jump rope, I don’t have to do a lot 5 to 10 minutes a couple times a week should do it. The little extra exercise will help my body continue to burn the fat. Burning fat GOOD! (course I’m still irritated that HotFLASHES don’t burn fat!!) This is day 3 that I wore my Sketcher Shape-ups only today I wore them all day (They are very comfortable! It’s 10:00 p.m. and I still have them on!) The way the Shape-Ups are designed with the round soles you are forced to align your body when you walk which made me very aware of my abs. My abs feel like I did a bunch of crunches. Now, I wasn’t sore this morning when I woke up, but before today, I’ve only worn them for my walk (so about 50 minutes each morning). Today however, I’ve had them on all day!! That might not have been the brightest idea I’ve had if I’m sore tomorrow. I’ll let ya know. (LOL like…
