Ok As I begin to write again I caution any reader to please not correct my misspelled words as usually i do it on purpose.
Yes it may be lazy but it’s been my trademark of sort & not being a good typist or remembering what symbol to use where, like/as in~~>… , : – ‘…etc.. it allows me the freedom to write as I please :)) Just humor me kk?
I also am not very techy/savy in knowing how to get pic. uploaded etc here. But… I am gonna try my best @ just expressing myself a lil’. 😉
Now it’s time to rest a bit so I’ll check in L8r my friends.
Much Love…. ❤

Hi folks. Yah I could Not get on here for the longest time & my mac wont update a new foxfire version, so it is what it is right. I wanna start writing again. My own thoughts & don’t know if i can figure it all out (responding to your comments etc) again but son’s will be home for Thanksgiving break so they’re bound to help me lol So, let’s see if this will load & I’ll write more after :)x
hello?
Seriously, if you Are checking my blog out, I rarely write. Tons on my mind, just not a typest so it kinda hinders coming & writing Anything.
I do hope your Christmas time is blessed not harried(however that’s spelled HA)
I spend my computer time these days blipping tunage on blip.fm & blip a lota 60, 70 & early 80’s music. I’ve recently been hooked on a stupid mindless computer game = Bubble game. Never played C games so wish I’d never even tried it.. That’s my addictive personality.
Dave gave me an early present… A Wiiiiii & I’m trying to use it daily cept I always go overboard on beating my last hula hoop time/ammount & keep throwin’ my back out… Duh…
Ok that’s my update. Boys are all home from college so gotta use my computer time wisely! Ha, yah right
Be safe & love your neighbor as yourself..

I’m out to cook dinner & watch my fave show the biggest loser… Oh & finale of big brother 11. The last 3 peeps are boooring lol

another Great day in the life, I guess lol
Survived another clean eating 2xday.(3 down, 59 to go) Phew, Ended up around 1350 calories, coola. I walked Luke 2 mi this am & got my PPT(strength) in this afternoon in the garage, which was quite cool compared to the almost 100 degrees out today.
My back’s a bit too sore to sit in this darn chair & type tho. Dang I miss being able to lay sideways on the couch w/internet. Gonna have to get wireless REALLY soon. Cuz I can’t sit long as it affects my back.
I wasn’t online a whole lot today & that’s good just in the way that I’m trying not to be overly addicted to it the last week, So hard to spread it out ya know. I could & have been on it for endless hours & I’m not talking work LOL
ok, tomorri is 59 days till I’m 50 & I’m excited to be focused on my adventure again. Crap I wanna talk about soo much but I’m out!
Peace & blessings……Dawnie xo
61 days til I’m 50
Hey, just wanted to check in. Dave’s putting my workout rm(& his occasional office) together so I just have a sec & I’m typing standing up. UGH lol oh yah, computer is in exercise rm.
So today was great. Didn’t get my desired 2xday workout but I’m bein a lil careful. I’m REALLY sore from yesterday so I don’t wanna throw my back out or something. Heck, I’m just stinking sore, but a great sore, added to my fibro it’s a nice change HA
I got 1.5 mile walk in this morning & worked on a puzzle out in the sun. Nice day.
K Standing typing is killin me so I’m out.
Ate way clean & around 1270 cal (some cott cheese & going for another apple cuz normaley I’d be grabbing chips etc.)
Going in to watch BB11 now, so catcha Wed. Prqyin I sleep better tonight (gonna hit the hay as soon as I finish watching the show.
take care…blessings…Dawnie
Starting a Fit @ 50 challenge : )
Ok well, I’m Fianaly serious again(You know, serious about being in great shape again, eating healthy. THAT kinda serious LOL)
It’s been a tough few months but I’m determined to get back on track & thus, started today as it’s only 62 days till I’m 50 yrs old. UGH, Yet Yay.
Walking every morning & doing push/pull training (PPT) as talked about in Dr Huizenga’s book “Where’d all the fat go”. Dr H is the dr that’s been with Biggest Loser from the beginning. (I’m starting agian w/sorta his basic walk every am Strength train every other night & I’ll do dvds, yoga etc on Tues/Thurs w/fun fam activities on Sat & active rest day Sunday.
Anyway I have tweaked the strength exercise,s but it’s great & worked well the first 6 months I did it.
My own version that is lol. I started doing my get fit again(3rd time in 13 yrs is not healthy, but it’s the last time as I wont ever quit from here xo) quest a yr ago April & lost 60 lbs as of Feb, March. But I’d been not fervent since Thanksgiving as getting thron off w/all the Holidays plus my fibromyalgia wa really rearing it’s ugly head & working out as hard as I was, was actually the worst thing for me as I had nothing left to give anyone Plus my body ached incredibly.
I finally caved into all the pain in the last 3 months & of course not eating great followed.
Gained 15 lbs back & That’s it.Started @ 261, now starting again @ 215(I think )
oh & I bought a new scale lol finally my old BLL buds would say xo
So starts today. Focusing on my health & mental well being is real effort. Thus my lack of being on the computer today.
I hate typing but love talking lol Plus the chair I have to sit in now is comfy but kills my back. At the old house I laid sideways on a couch & typed & that’s my best position for the least body pain.
Anyway, I ate real clean today but had fun meals. I’ll get this journal/blog a lil less cluttered & get on my BLL PAGE AGAIN. I miss my old workouts buds over on Biggest Loser Leauge & look forward to the incredible support I got.
I’ve made new fitness buds on Twitter also but they don’t even know the Animal I can be & all that side of me lol
I hope if you’ve red this far you will take encouragement that you can decide at any moment, going thru anything & having chronic pain that it is truly possible & the best thing for you & those around you to get active again & care about yourself & what path your going down.
K So day 1 down, walked 2 miles w/Luke this a.m. & did 1 set of 12 reps of 15 diff exercises that go from head to toe making it a full body workout. Depending on how I am Sunday I will do a 2nd set, but I really am gonna be careful as I couldve done 3 sets today of each & be wiped. I know my bod. I know when to increase weights etc, but this dang chronic pain is a Pain lol but I’m determined to pace myself w/pushing a lil & adding weight & it’ll all work out in the end & Lord willin I’ll work my END off lol…I’ll get a pic up this wk hopefully. If I can figure how to get one on this blog. 🙂
Love & blessings….Dawnie xo
I know i’ve been awol
ok I know Ive been absent from writing, Just wanted to say i’ll try & pull some thoughts together tomorri kk?
xo dawnie
about the LOVE spice
I dug out from a packed box a spice I just love but havnt used ‘in my kitchen’ for a while. I actualy used to grab it off the shelf & literally shake it onto whatever I was making as if the actual spice of LOVE was being sprinkled into it LOL
K enough said, here;s the Actual words on each side & back of the the sweet, white spice box in red lettering:
Love
Spice for Living
Net WT. Immeasurable
Ingredients: Faithfulness, Gentleness, Goodness, Joy, Kindness, Patience, Peace, Perseverance, Protection, Trust, Truthfulness, & Unselfishness.
>isn’t that cool?<
The Back says:
****************
THE STORY BEHIND “LOVE”…
For many years a man watched his wife take a locked box down from the cupboard. She would unlock the box, take a pinch, sprinkle it over whatever she was cooking, re-lock the box & return it to it’s place.
One day, while his wife was away, his curiosity got the best of him. He went to the cupboard, took the box down & opened it. To his surprise it was empty! He turned it over & on the bottom was written “LOVE”.
Don’t keep your “LOVE” locked up in a cupboard. Keep it within easy reach & use it generously.
SO…
Though not in your recipe book, Into everything that you cook, Put a big pinch of “LOVE”.
****************
Ok, so yes it’s really simple but there’s something really simple, cool & very sweet about it.
that’s all for now, just wanted to share it. I think @MisterNoodle for letting me read into one of his posts & expound on it LOL…
I love that about Twitter. We (@ least I) can just jump into any conversation & inject ourselves. LOL.. maybe some think that’s rude but hello..it’s Twitter.
