REPOST: BLOGGER SURVEY





A blogger and facebook and twitter rule to live by:


You feed me, I eat...You bore me...I delete!

Just curious when are "you" writing and reading blogs? Do you read and then write? Do you write and then read? Do you post a blog and shut down your computer and then rush back over to see if anyone has responded?

I personally write at night. I try to read throughout the day and I scan over the list and am very guilty of headline judging! If it grabs me - I am in...Bore me and I just don't have time...

The problem I have is I really like to interact and respond to each and everyone that post. I also then like to go read the blogs of the people that post on my blogs...Isn't this the ethical thing to do?

It is like Twitter: Follow me and I Follow You! You feed me, I eat...You bore me...I delete!

I share this because here I am at close to midnight on the East Coast! I have toothpicks holding my eyes open because I blogged until 3 AM last night...Sounds like an addiction...Yes...it is!

But...I will be blogging and shutting down. However, you are so important to me and I just want to know what you do, when you do it and how you do it...

Do you blog and run?

Have you tested the best hours to post...Should we write and save and then post in wee AM hours so our California friends can drink coffee to our craziness?

Just curious?

Liz



P.S. Goodnight! These toothpicks are going to give me wrinkles before I turn 40!

REPOST: IN MEMORY OF NICKALIE SMALL





In loving memory of Nickalie Christmas Small 9/11/2001 - 10/10/09


The very best dog...We miss you so!

If you have ever lost a pet that you still miss today as I do my Nickalie...GRAB A TISSUE!


A DOG FOR JESUS



I wish someone had given Jesus a dog

As loyal and loving as mine

To sleep by His manger and gaze in His eyes

And adore Him for being divine.



As our Lord grew to manhood His faithful dog

Would have followed Him all through the day

While He preached to the crowds and made the sick well

And knelt in the garden to pray.



It is sad to remember that Christ went away

To face death alone and apart

With no tender dog following close behind

To comfort its Master's Heart.



And when Jesus rose on that Easter morn

How happy He would have been

As His dog kissed His hands and barked its delight

For The One who died for all men.



Well, the Lord has a dog now, I just sent Him mine

The old pal so dear to me

And I smile through my tears on this first day alone

Knowing they're in eternity.



Day after day, the whole day through

Wherever my road inclined

Four feet said, "I am coming with you!"

And trotted along behind.

THE UGLY BUTT TRUTH! What the H E Double Hockey Sticks?

OK - So I just posted that I was NOT going to share Before pics yet - but I checked out the recent BUTT pics and think I am making enough BUTT progress that I will share a few...


Recent up close and personal BUTT picture! See the sag...:) The goal is for that SAG to lift by hard work and diet...No cosmetic surgery just sweat and pain...lots of pain from lunges and squats! DATE TAKEN: 1/10/2009The Butt from a distance always looks better than THE BUTT close up... 1/10/2010 I think they call this a Valentine Butt! Lynn says my butt is two handfuls at this time. How sweet!



EEEK - THE WORST BUTT BEFORE PIC of 2009! Here is the real start of all of this. This pic was taken 8/10/2009 when my daughter counted 12+ dimples on my rear! My body fat in August was around 34% - Lynn did not say but I can promise you that there was MORE THAN TWP HANDFULS HERE!


So, I have lost my mind! You have seen ugly butts before, I am sure of it...Well guess what, so have I and this butt is bad but there are far worse in the world and I personally love my tush!


I realize that in 13 weeks I have a long ways to go. I feel that if I am honest with you and with myself and share the UGLY BUTT TRUTH that it just means I am more determined to be able to show you great progress! So, I will post THE UGLY BUTT TRUTH each week just for fun and eventually I promise I will show more skin...I will have to get use to that anyway before 4/10!






Systems are ALL ON GO!


WOW - What a week! I have 1,000,001 things going in my mind 24/7. Honestly! I am thankful for my ADHD at times and other times I just want...medicine!


I had a nutritional evaluation this morning and showed the doctor my GetPhatOnline diet plan. She said: WOW! If you are following that and getting in at least 150 min. of cardio a week you are sure to get in tip top shape! Well...DUH!


Following the eating program and training more like 120 min. a day is burning some serious fat FAST!


So week ONE is OVER - and THIRTEEN MORE to go!


Sorry - NO BEFORE PICS YET! My girlfriend and I are meeting Friday night to take a few to send to the GetPhat team and as much as I would like to share my pics NOW with you...I just prefer to wait until I have decent "ALMOST AFTER" shot to go with it...Somewhere in here I know I posted a bad butt shot! Have fun looking for it!


So: today 1/13/2009: 137.5 lbs and 29% Body Fat! I was able to get a B12 SHOT (ouch) but she said NO NO NO to the Phentermine I begged for...I honestly think it should be an ADHD medicine because I can do so much more and am so much more focused when I was taking it...once upon a last year!


I am 1% qualified actually (the doctors rule of thumb is Body Fat should be over 28% to qualify) and I was 29%! Still did not get it! Oh well...I guess I will have to just do more cardio or eat more Tilipia!


By the way...Workouts are killing me! I am one sore pup! I have trained with Ms. O (Jen Hendershott) twice this week and all I have to say is if you want to feel like you have had a workout...you should train with her...She had me doing or trying something called a crab walk and a spider walk. I did not do so hot...My butt just dragged the floor! The great thing about Jen is that she shows you HOW, she says TRY and then she looks at ya with this "DON'T GIVE UP" look that makes you just push a little harder!


I tried to do them again in my living room and my husband just laughed! I challenged him and of course he scooted right across the floor! He said keep working on the crab Liz - just be thankful she did not have you doing a LOBSTER -Oh whatever!


The diet is actually really good and the workouts are an unbelievable plus. I am very fortunate to have Ms. O on a local level to train with even if it makes me just roll across the floor!


By the way...I have had a few ask about the price for GetPhatOnline and I will have to direct you to Lishia Dean or Heather Bear or even better finding them on http://www.getphatonline.com/ . I can tell you that just paying for the nutrition part is not that expensive at all compared to what you get and comparing it to the cost of WI with Fitness Plus, weight watchers or Nutri Diets...This program is tailored to YOU and you get 12 weeks of diet, 24/7 email/phone support, a true accountability team and of course the best benefit...GETTING IN SHAPE!


So, anyway - I make NO money from promoting this great team of ladies. I just feel very honored to be able to share what they are doing for me and how it is working or not working! So far - ALL SYSTEMS ARE ON GO!


Stay tuned for more updates about the countdown to APRIL 10! If the jiggle and the wiggle are out of the butt I will DO bikini, if there is any muscle left under this thick skin and I look the part of Figure I will go that route...We will just have to see...No matter what I am doing what I wanted to do and that is to get my body in its BEST SHAPE ever before the BIG 40!


Thanks for joining me on this journey!

The Motivator in Me is M.O.T.I.V.A.T.E.D!

This is my personal blog so yep you got it...It is my WORLD. I can write about and say whatever I want! Someone recently shared that I was a great "self promoter" - Well, gosh...I have to be because there is not another company promoting me! I make my weekly paychecks on my own, by myself with my own mouth and my own two feet! So, please before I rant anymore today please know that again...This is my PERSONAL blog. I write to think and clear my head here. I sell on facebook, activerain and other places...Here I just write and vent and write and vent...I just started this little ole blog in 2009 and have loved that my Dear Diary!





I love to be inspired. I read and listen and I love to go and watch other speakers to help me do what I do best even better...More than anything I love to get excited about something new...





"I get asked ALL the time...Please look at this. I have something to share...I have a new company that you would be just soooooo great at..."





I will give you an open door right now...right here, right now and anytime you want to share your business with me...SHARE IT!!!





I think if you are excited about something you should share it and if you have THE best product in the world...by all means...I want to know about it and I am sure many others will as well...





The truth is...there is a great product for everyone...The perfect fit for you is just that...the perfect fit for you! There is no promise I will join or sell or wear anymore hats than I already where because I will tell you the one thing I have learned in business is that you can't be the best at everything! If something fits like a PERFECT FIT in my life...I promise...I will look but do not be upset if I say it is just not a fit!





Like you fitting into following my blogs...





Sometimes I may write something in this blog that is written to be used in my Social Media locations...I will make sure to tag these blogs in 2010 as PROMOTIONS so that if you subscribe and you are not a fan of my selling side super promotions and giveaways that you can just skip the read! LOL!





So, why I am so hyped today! I just watched a video and literally within 10 minutes of watching it I made $220.00 by sharing it...It was not the video that made the $220.00 for me but it was the product I use that did!





Some people go to work for 8 hours a day and do not make $220.00! I did it in 15 minutes today!





So, here is what has me so excited...A new video just hot off the press by Kody Bateman...The founder and leader of a company that "fits me like a glove - the perfect fit"!

NEW YEAR, WEEK ONE, WOW!






Happy New Year! Yes, this post is a bit behind...actually 7 days behind...But who's watching? Oh, you are! Sorry! By the way with that said...Thank you for subscribing.

I started this blog as a place to just pour it all out! I feel like I am so business in so many places from facebook, twitter to active rain that I wanted a place that was just fun and carefree...A place I could get a bit more personal and just journal...

So, welcome to the dear diary...Not to sound like the rest of the world and say the biggest thing that is going is my new diet...but it is a big thing to me. Not new...I started the GetPhatOnline program in August for a little goal and wanted to more or less see what it was about. I lost 20 lbs and found it to be a really great life changing program. I took a break over Thanksgiving and Christmas and of course added back on about 8 lbs but am excited to start one of my biggest missions in life...I am going to compete in the NC State Body Building and Figure Competition.

Wheewww - Now that I said it...It is official. Here is the truth and the facts...

I have never competed in anything like this before. The stage I can handle but the stage in a little bikini - sounds fun!

I think, no I know this is one of the 40 things to do before I turn 40. I promise to share that list in a blog soon for anyone that wants to hold me accountable to it!

So, April 10th in Greensboro. If my body looks ready and I will trust a few near and dear friends to tell me this...I WILL DO IT. If I am just not conditioned and ready enough I will wait and do Jen Hendershotts show in Charleston later on in the year...

The bottom line to all this is yes...I will be 40 in December.12/24 to be exact and not that I am not happy with my body now. I have been 210 and loved every roll (lie) - but I want to be fit, healthy and if course, I want to be HOT! Demi Moore inspires me, getting older does not bother me but being out of shape does!

So...I have started officially this week and through my entire family having the flu and me dealing with some starting diet headaches it has not been so bad.

In a nut shell here is what I am eating all week, each day:

Meal 1 - Protien Drink
Meal 2 - 5 egg whites and 1 whole egg
Meal 3 - 2 Pumpkin Pancakes - Phatcamp special recipe
meal 4 - Grapefruit or apple and 1 tbs. of peanut butter
Meal 5 - 6 oz. white fish and 1 cup of greens
Meal 6 - 2 rice cakes with peanut butter or a protein drink

I am taking a multivitamin (B WHOLESOME from GNC), B6 3 x a day, BComplex 100 MG 1 X, Vit. C, Calcium, Magnesium, Potas and Omega 3 Fish Oil tab. - I love Scivation protein and VasoCharge to keep me fueled!

On a training plan I am getting in at least 1 hour of cardio a day and still doing some weights! We got the kids a trampoline for Christmas so I am hoping that I can use it a lot for fun burning!

So, come on and start with me! We can eat and count meals together!

Before and After pictures promised - just not yet! Still trying to photoshop the butt dimples!


Happy New Year to you my friends! Let's make 2010 a year to remember!


Blessings!


Liz
