Be Patient Bringing Sexy Back

I am not a very patient person....More of a get it done and get it done now type......I rushed my sexy back and learned a valuable lesson.....

This is the story of how Rushing Sexy Bit Me In The A$$! 

(Back in April)
I came to work today in my new pants!  Love them, they are a bit on the snug side but not too bad.  I think I am looking all hawt!

Any way, I decided to weigh myself and things are going well, than I noticed a little rock in my shoe....So I decided to bend over to get rid of it.  On my way down....mid bend.....I hear a rip noise...

I split my freaking pants-----at work!!!  lol and to make it worse I have on the ugliest oldest pink frayed bloomers I own. not pretty! 

So I had to squeeze together my butt cheeks so my pink bloomers wouldn't show and waddle out of my office down the stairs to the truck where I passed several people I work with!!  Not as easy as it looks....Trying to rush the office conversations to get to my truck with out anyone noticing my pretty Bloomers! I  jumped in my truck and went to my moms house to grab a new pair of pants.

So long story short I have a pair of my moms dress pants on (which are too short) and learned a lesson……wait for sexy to come back…..don’t rush it!! lol Or the moral of the story could be to go get some new underwear! Hahaha

I think this is Karma for eating a chocolate bar yesterday!!!  And I will go get some new "pretty" bloomers just incase!

Crossing Off My List...

Well, Try a new exercise class has been done..... Although I will try many many more.

This class was Aqua Zumba~!  Knowing how awful it is to sausage my self into my bathing suit, I decided to give it a try anyway. 

Lets just say that when stuff is done in water.....it just moves slower!  I felt every ripple of blubber jiggling around.  I didn't know that stuff could move like that!  Gosh I hope they don't have underwater cameras.....Ugh what a pretty site that would be.

Anyway, turns out that my bikini that I had when I was pregnant turns out to be a little on the big side.  Thank freakin' goodness.....someone would have been shot otherwise. lol  Seems as though the "Girls" are not as big as they once were....this made for lots of giggles and hopes that no one seen the peep show.  I did have a tank top over in hopes of hiding some of the jiggly bits, turns out it didn't work.  The force of the waves in the water not only wedged the bottoms upwards....but also the tank top too.....My attempts to "hide" things really only brought more attention to them.

Ok, right, this is supposed to be about the exercise class....Well it was Zumba.....under water.....
Exactly what it said it was.  But I loved it.  No one could see my two left feet and my old bones didn't hurt.

The shakin of the booty was much better under water where no one could see the other stuff shake along with it.   I burned some calories for sure, if anything it was from all the laughing I did.

I tried very carefully not to get any water on my face, I failed to put on waterproof mascara.....But with the many giggles came giant splashes of water.....I some how managed to get myself ...and get myself good!  Not sure how I created those big waves that slapped me right in my face.....ok who am I kidding I know exactly how I made those big waves!......But at least I didn't make any big bubbles.....  :s

I will be going back, this is a fantastic class.  Especially when I will be recovering from surgery.  It will be a great way to get me back on my feet.

I promise the next new class will be better! :)

5k PEI Marathon....

UPDATE: I just registered for the 5 Km PEI Matathon RUN!!!! I only have a short time to get ready and "train"! I have unbelievable support and encouragement for this! After a speedy recovery, I am putting on my game face and DOING THIS!!!! WoooHoooo!!!


I have been thinking a lot lately about this 5 k run I plan to do......

Looks as if the deadline may be October 15, 2011 in the PEI Marathon.  I have received so much support and encouragement that I really want to conquer this one!   I am just not sure if I will have enough time to recover from surgery and start training. 

Yes, I do know that is is only a little more than 3 miles and should only be about 30 minutes of running....or moderately jogging....But I want to succeed and I am a follow through kind of girl, I just want to allow myself time to prepare, my body and my mind!

I guess it really depends on what the outcome of surgery is, and how long it takes me to recover.  But this is something I am really considering.  This would be a huge accomplishment~ and you never know.....maybe before I am 30 I will be able to add a 10 k run to my list of accomplishments.

I can feel the love, support and encouragement from so many people through my new journey,  I know I can do this, but I don't think I can do it without all of you!  I feel pretty proud to know so many wonderful people who are willing to help me reach my goals and are always encouraging me to succeed.

My fingers are crossed for a speedy recovery and even if I have to to the 5k or 10 k run in October of 2012,  I can be satisfied with that.  My health is just as important and I need to take care of this and allow my impatient self to heal properly!

Let's Get Started

Well, the beginning of the blog is not so interesting, nothing inspiring, nothing fantastic.  That was the beginning of seeing the "Light".

Exercise classes and a new Healthy Life Style have encouraged me to get my life back on track.  There is no longer a fear of the unknown only a journey of experience and memories.  No looking back.

I am on the road to a New Positive Life!  One which will be full of encouragement and life.  One that will have the Real Autumn in it.

Before I begin my journey of my 30 before 30 list, I will explain a bit of how I decided to venture on this new path.

As in a previous blog if you read it you would know that I was diagnosed with a thyroid tumor when I was pregnant.  Well long story short and many tests and pokes (not the good kind either haha)  The doctor still cant tell me that it is not cancer.....

With this being said, there was a biopsy which showed negative for malignancy, but further tests still show cancerous characteristics.  I seen the doctor on Monday June 13, 2011 and that is when he said I can't tell you it is not cancer.....and gave me 2 options.  More continuous blood work, ultrasounds, nuc. med scans and biopsies to "watch" it or have surgery to remove it.

Um, Hello.....Surgery it is.  A. It is a tumor growing in my neck. and B. if I can live with out it take it.
Obviously I oped for surgery.

The doctor explained the procedure.  I will have an incision across the front of my neck and he will remove the left side of my thyroid with the tumor on it, at that time the lab will come and do a quick test during surgery.  Negative for cancer they close up and I go to recovery, if it is cancer they go forth and do a total thyroidectomy (remove the whole thing).  But I am pretty sure the trend of Negative will continue.  Positive Thoughts for Negative Results!! Maybe the only situation where that statement will make sense.

Well, I fully understand everything that will take place and I am completely comfortable with either outcome!  Positive thoughts only!

On June 22, 2011 I will be admitted to the QEH where I will under go this surgery......That was what got me thinking....I have only one life and am exiting my twenties.....I must do it in style...

Hence, the 30 before 30 list.  I plan on having a lot of fun with this and will look forward to looking back on this when I am older. Hopefully this will encourage  you to do the same, as well as I hope to set an expample for my little ones and hopefully encourage them to set goals and achieve them, as well as, help others to do the same.

I hope you will join me in my journey of 30 before 30 and I encourage you to have fun and live your life too!
