Comments on: 122 lbs! http://thedomesticdiva.org/blog/2006/02/25/122-lbs/ Reviews & Reality Unscripted! Wed, 07 Jan 2009 08:48:57 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.2 by: She http://thedomesticdiva.org/blog/2006/02/25/122-lbs/#comment-175 Tue, 28 Feb 2006 17:43:02 +0000 http://thedomesticdiva.org/blog/2006/02/25/122-lbs/#comment-175 Andrea: don't worry I'll never look like an oompah-loompah. I say every year that I'll lay out and do the sunless tanner thing but it takes too much dedication and maintanence for me to keep it up. I'll lay out for like 5 mins. Start sweating and then go inside. I just can't stand to be hot. As far as the sunless tanner goes, I apply it one time and get the orange ankles or knees and I'll give it up for the whole summer. I'm just not that dedicated. I figure God made me pale/see-through for a reason, no use in trying to mess it up. Besides I definately don't want skin cancer. Also, thanx for the popcorn recipe, I'll let you know how it turns out. Kristina- thanx so much for your encouraging words. Also, thanks for visiting my humble home on the web. You are always welcome here, Hope to see you here again soon. anisaerah- I am definately trying to build muscle because we all know that muscle burns fat. I have a very athletic build do to the fact that I was a gymnast for nearly 10 years. I've always hated my legs because they are always very muscular but as I look at the celebrities with their stick legs I've become very gratefull that I don't look like a clothes hanger on stilts. One time I got hit on by this guy at Wal-mart his pick up line was " you must play softball" then he glanced down at my legs....rofl. Many girls have very thin legs with barely any muscle, infact my husband has chicken legs [ he hopes my son has my build instead of his, he wants him to play football, lol]; so I feel speshy because I am different and that is what makes me stand out...that also makes it a pain to shop for jeans or boots [ they don't want to go over my thighs or calves....lol]. Congratulations on your weight loss. It seems we are both stuck, we just have to push ourselves even harder than before...I know for one I definately don't want to but I'm gonna do it so I can get into my tiny weeny yellow poka dot bikini....LOL.

Hey I asked my friend Jodi for her secret popcorn recipe. And well HERE IT IS. This is her exact email. I just copied and pasted it for your enjoyment. I hope your popcorn turns out as wonderful as hers. .......................................... She needs to buy coconut oil at the store (it actually is a solid, like orange lard), popcorn salt, which is sometimes butter flavored, but basically just very fine table salt, and then the type of corn she prefers. For instance, white corn is very tasty, with small crunchy kernels, whereas yellow corn is larger and more impressive looking, but a bit more chewier in texture. Then, you can even go so far as choosing how the corn will pop, i.e. mushroom has a large "head" (think Cracker Jacks) or butterfly is more flared (think hulless corn we have in the nursery for the babies)...but those distinctions won't, most likely, be found in the grocery store. The grocery will have a blend of the two. Who knew there was so much to know about popcorn! Oh, as for cooking it on the stove...put enough oil to coat the bottom of the pot, put one kernel in and cover pot with lid. When that kernel pops, the oil is hot enough to pour in enough corn to cover the bottom of the pot with one layer of kernels. Add salt, cover and continue to shake until popcorn finishes popping. I like to add real butter, usually 1/4 stick or more for a large bowl. DO NOT EVER USE MARGARINE! The water content disintegrates the popped corn, and makes it disgusting... Can you tell, I LOVE popcorn! Jodi Hi Heather. Hey I asked my friend Jodi for her secret popcorn recipe. And well HERE IT IS. This is her exact email. I just copied and pasted it for your enjoyment.

If I were you, I'd maybe work on building some muscle, but I don't think you need to lose any weight at all! (of course, I've lost the same amount of weight as you, but I'm stuck at 155, so I'm a little biased :>) You look fab, honey!

The orange tan... that real fake tan is very unattractive. I would much rather a woman keep her natural beautiful and stay fair and delicate in color... than trying to cake on some fake orange tan. :-) Tell your hubbby your like a delicate doll. Your skin is divine :-) and he should adore it. Even if you can see a vein or two ;-) Atleast Dr's didnt have to stab you 5 times before getting an IV in you. My veins are so tiny and my arms so dark that Dr's cant find veins in them... which makes things very difficult during child birth. I had to have an specialist come in to get an IV in me and draw blood.. lol somethings wrong with that! any who :-) a lil tan is okay. but dont damage your skin with to much of a tan.

It does a nice little boost to the ego. Very flattered. Angie: thanx for the comment. You will get there eventually. You just have to set your mind to it and stick with it. I've been taking Green Tea extract [they are next to the vitamins, the pill form not the actual tea...I can't stand the taste of the tea] and let me tell you it does wonders. It says on the bottle that you will lose 20 lbs. with it but I lost 65 so far. Not bad for a "non-diet" pill if you ask me. Ashar: You are always so kind. I will definately keep going until I reach my goal. If I'm not happy with myself then what good is it to do it. I am definately looking into the whole switch template thing or the rotating header plugin...I can't decide which one I want to do. I'll try to do some tutorials. I have some beauty tutorials that I was planning on making for "Beautiful You". Are there any tutorials you would like in particular. Maybe I can help ya out. What problems are you having? And just so everyone knows, the reason why I keep persisting that I lose 10 more pounds is because I still have the "pregnancy spare tire" around my waist and my thighs and calves are still on the chunky side. I want to look some what toned come summer time so that I can get a nice little tan [I'm sick of being see-through...lol, my husband says he can see every vein in my body] whilst my son and I are outside enjoying his kiddie pool.
