Holy crap Chrystee... you are smoking girl! Keep it up!

[jdprecious]

My purse was stolen today. What a pain in the arse. The jerk that stole it didnt get any money. Just my cell phone, my Chanel sunglasses, and of course my wallet with all my debit/credit cards. I had to call about 20 different companies phone numbers to get replacements and cancel out the old stuff. Talk about an all day affair. He even got my keys to house, car and mailbox. Hmmph! I am installing a servaillance camera on our front porch I think. We live in a nice neighborhood and I just cant imagine someone walking up in my driveway and rummaging through my car to steal stuff. But I learned my lesson. Don't forget to bring your purse in and lock the car. The one time you dont, blam! Not fun. If it happens again the cops told me I could defend my property. Lol, I wont shoot him but I think I might have to break a limb if I catch the hoodlums! Oh well, sh** happens. Hope all you ladies and babies are having an awesome week! ttyl!

[kaisergirl]

Oh jess... that sucks!!! That happened to me as a teenager. I had to park in the driveway at my parents house and I would always leave my purse in the car, locked, but they threw a brick in the back windshield and got to it. My dad was sooooooooo pissed at me... lesson learned.

[jdprecious]

I just worked out ... go me go me go me!!!
55 mins of Billy Blanks Bootcamp!!!!
Holy Cow, that is one hard workout but its bikini season in FL.
Im either gonna jump and jiggle at home or on the beach.
Id rather do it at home now and be tight and toned at the beach later.
Six weeks ladies!!! Ive got six weeks!
Is 145 too much to ask in six weeks? I think I might squeeze a size six too!
OMG im excited just thinking about it.
Wish me luck girls. One day down, 5 weeks 6 days to go!

[kaisergirl]

lol, you're funny jess! You can do it!!! I've got 5 weeks left until my 5K too. I don't know if I can be ready, but I'm gonna try my damndest!!

[jdprecious]

5k sounds like fun. I used to run long distance track and field in high school. I was never a fast runner being dumpy and chubby and all but durnit if I could run forever! And I still can. I just have endurance from somewhere, I just don't know where. I love running but just have never done it in my mommy years.

Well, I worked out tonight AGAIN. That is 2 count em 2 nights in a row. You would think aliens have come down and invaded my body. I am seriously allergic to exercise of any form.... until now. I actually like it. Its fun and I feel really really really good after. Shhh... dont tell anyone tho! They might expect me to keep this up! LOL.

[Chrystee]

Hey girls.. Down 44 pounds now. I just passed my turbokick certification, so I can teach it now. I probably won't, at least not until I lose about 125 pounds, but it was cool to pass it.

[jdprecious]

I think if you passed it , carpe diem, girl!!! What's stopping ya? Gooo for it! You will be so glad you did. And just think how much faster you would lose and get toned if you had to be accountable enough to teach others! do it.... do it... do it....

[Chrystee]

No, I won't. I'm not confident enough, yet. Maybe one day.

[jdprecious]

Ill be your cheerleader when your ready!

[Chrystee]

I had a dream I was teaching it in my living room. LOL.
I really wish I would have gotten into this when I was younger. I used to be so crazy.

[jdprecious]

Chrystee-

I am thinking of trying Nutrisystem. How do you do yours? Auto ship or no? And should I pick my own food or just do the customer favorites selection? Can you give me the lowdown? Pro's /con's? It seems pricey but if it works well Ill give it a go.

[Chrystee]

I did Autoship, because you get the 3 weeks free, but you only get one free per month, so if you quit after the first month, you've only received the first free week.

I recommend doing the favorites for the first month. You never know which meals/snacks you will love/hate. Everyone is different.

Give me your email and I will send you a $30 off coupon!

The price isn't too bad.

[kaisergirl]

I miss my girls... how is everyone???

Anyone pregnant yet?

[krisiee]

Alyssa is scheduled for an mri so far they think she has lymphatic malformation. I dont know much because the ultrasound wasnt conclusive enough but she has some lumps that needs further testing. I will post more when I know. Right now I just wanted to let you girls know. Miss you guys give the babies hugs for me!!

[kaisergirl]

I'll keep you both in my prayers. Please keep us posted.

[kaisergirl]

Heard anything yet Kris? What does that mean exactly? Lymphatic malformation? Where are the lumps? In her neck? I'm thinking about you and worrying for you both.

[Chrystee]

Hope she is ok!
I bet its nothing.

Alex is now 14.5 months old and running.

And NO pregnancies here!

[kaisergirl]

They are not exactly babies anymore are they???

That is a super cute shirt Alex is wearing. May I ask where you got it? (or grandma got it?)

Kris~ Know anything yet???

[krisiee]

Hey girls! We dont know anything yet she had an appt with the surgeons on friday and a MRI on monday. Then will see the surgeons again after that. I will keep you updated.

[kaisergirl]

Happy Mother's Day to all my mommies out there!!! Enjoy your day!!!

[jdprecious]

OMGosh it has been such a long time since I have checked in on you gals and I am so sorry for that. I have been super super busy getting things in order. I have so many irons in the fire it's not even funny. LOL, but that is me, always trying to tackle a million things at a time.

After an eight year hiatus, I am returning to college to finish my degree. Hopefully, if all goes well in 18 mos I will have my degree!!! Hallelujah. I really have wanted to get it done before I turn 30. That gives me three years just in case something crazy happens.

Secondly, I joined a gym for the summer. I've started working out very seriously to become a fitness model. I want to compete and see just how far I can push my body. One of my good guy friends is a bodybuilder and he is helping me with my routine. I don't want to get grossly large muscles but I definatly am trying to get down to less than 10% body fat. More trim and fit, than Ms. Muscles. We shall see how that goes.

And the last thing, I just got back from a business trip to NC. Jeff and I went for a rally with our insurance company. We do mortgages full time and the market really stinks right now. We are doing good financially but just the stress and pressure on us is too much plus our job security is low. It's really not a good feeling to walk into every Monday morning. We have been wanting to open up our own business for sometime now. If the insurance thing works out part time, that is what we will be doing full time. A friend of Jeff's introduced it to us. He has been selling insurance independantly for six months and has made over 100k. Yikes. Id be happy with half that. So, currently Jeff and I are both sitting for the state board exam to sell insurance. I could work from home which would save us boatloads in gas and daycare expenses. I am crossing my fingers because it really would mean so much to our family.

The girsl are doing so good! Jaelyn is graduating from Kindergarten this week. Macy is 14 mos and finally started standing up on her own. Still not walking yet. She is such a ham though, Ms. Charmer for sure! I'll post some new pictures when I get home this evening. How are all you ladies and the kiddies doing? Love to all!

[jdprecious]

Krisiee-

I just saw all of the posts about Alyssa. How is she doing? Any answers yet? I am so sorry you guys are going through this. We are praying for you and hoping for the best! Mwuah!

[krisiee]

Hey girls!! I am still fat yay go me. Not horribly fat but not where I want to be. Alyssa had her MRI, she has a lymphatic malformation but will be put into a program since we are near CHKD (one of the hospitals with the program and where her dr is affliated). OK-432. It has a very good success rate. I need to find out more about it though because if it doesnt work she will need surgery because of the vast area it is affecting. I dont know too much yet because I just found out today that she will be entered into this program. We are just thankful there are no major blood vessels involved which was a concern. I miss talking to you guys. I need to keep more up on all of you. Give the babes a big hug from me.

[kaisergirl]

Kris~ well at least you've found out something... I'm going to read up on that. How scary for sweet Alyssa and you too. Keep us posted when you have time... Is this effecting Alyssa at all? Does she even know somethings up? Or is she just her usual playful sweet self?

Jess~ wow!! You've been busy girl! Hope things go well with the boards. I know how nerve racking that can be... I'm sitting for boards in July for a Hemapheresis Practitioner exam specialty in blood banking... study, study, study!! I'm also throwing around the idea of opening up a 4d ultrasound place here.

Hope you girls are well, have a great memorial weekend!

[Chrystee]

Hey girls! We still around?
We just got back from the outer banks from vacation. It was heavenly!

He seriously had a BLAST!

I'm just like about 48 pounds lost. I've been plateau'd, plus we went on vacation last week. I'm getting really serious right now, I've got 3 months to lose about 40 pounds.
