alrite rockstarz! we movn up there!

hey rockstars!

i'm very excited to be a part of this team. . . everyone seems very enthusiastic and supportive =]

i think one of my goals for this week is to try to compile a top ten reasons why i want to "get fit, stay fit!"

what are some of your reasons??

some reasons of mine:
*to be able to do more physically challenging activities that i have always wanted to do such as rock climbing, run a 5k, ride my bike from chicago to central illinois
*better skin!
*awesome, regular poops
*fit into my skinny jeans!

ok...so i was just thinking that i need to participate more in these stinkin forums cuz i'm on here everyday...but i just never have anything new to say...hehe. AND i would hate to bore you guys with my simple life so...would it be ok if i come up with like a question a day or every couple of days that we can think about. they would really make good blog topics...but i think it would be a fun way for us to be open and honest about our weight loss journey, and a fun way to get to know each other better. lets just keep our answers in the forum, and then we can copy and paste it to our blogs, if you wish....so i'll start out....

What are your SKINNY fantasies?

I'll start out...dont laugh...this makes me feel really vulnerable...hehehe

When I daydream about how much better my life will be when I am skinny....i always fantasize about going out with my friends to a club...and havin to beat guys off with a stick cuz they think i am so stinkin foxy hehe

i also imagine a skinny me running into a friend from the past, or someone who has done me wrong...and looking mighty good....and being able to say...BAM...look at me

Welcome to the Rockstars Helen!
I love it when people give me topics to write about...youre my kind of chick! hehe

Top 10 Reasons to Get/Stay Fit

1) so that i will love myself more...and feel better about myself...i think this will help my relationship with my husband because i will feel more secure and won't always be paranoid that he is shopping for a replacement
2) so i can wear shorts again
3) shopping will be easy because I will have more of a variety of places to shop for clothes
4) so that i dont develop health problems
5) so that i will feel more comfy in a bathingsuit
6) to set a good example for my kiddos
7) to be and feel more attractive in my skinny clothes
8) to be more comfortable around my family and not feel self concious
9) to have more energy to do everything i need to do during the day
10) to be more willing to do and try more physical activities with my hubby

What are your SKINNY fantasies?

-This is part of my motivation. I'm going on a cruise in january, and unlike my 2 previous cruises...i want to use the pool and go to the clubs. I dont want my weight to hold me back

top ten reasons get fit and stay fit..
1. i want to be abe to do outdoor stuff with out feeling like crap! i want to try a multpile day bike ride in japan before i leave, and i want to climb fuji-san. i want to hike the napali cost in kauai and across the grand canyon again. lol- and the list goes on
2. i want to compete in triathalons with my sister!
3. i want to be healthy! no health complications in the future for me!
4. i want to see be collar bones
5. i want to be able to wear shorts and skirts without being self concious.
6. i want to be able to fit into the clothes in all the stores in japan (not just the ones that carry the larger sizes- the largest size you can regularly find here is 67cm- a size 6!)
7. of course, i'd like to look cute/sexy/good/whatever

Jeffrey, ok....thats another one of mine! We have always talked about how much fun it would be to go on a cruise, but the reason I have never planned one for us is that i felt like i was too fat to enjoy it. good thinkin!
