Lower Body Lift Fun!

[puddin 7]

yep, still melting... gotta love those days. I did increase my workouts to 3 days per week and 1.5 hrs a day starting today, in hopes that would get me back. It just sucks 6 months to get power, 8 weeks to loose it. This is the 3rd true workout since being ok'd as I was at real estate school for the past 8 days. I did cardio but evidentially not enough. anyway, it sucked, I sucked wind, and now am exhaused from crying and working harder than my body is used to.

Glad you brought up the top swelling, whats the deal with that? I thought maybe I didnt get stretched tight enough cuz of the boobs and tummy being done. doc did tell me 6-8 months before true results showed. so, until then I will do what I can to tighten it up faster.

Your legs look great! I am now thinking of a Lipo in the inner thighs. did the belt tighten the legs too? from the pics looks like your legs are 1/2 of the before shots. you really look great, you should be very proud, your hot!

I have to tell you Puddin, I felt alittle of that change of attention you have mentioned in the past. I was at real estate school for over a week last week. Met alot of nice people, went to bar with a few guys, some younger some way old, anyway, they compared me to other girls at the bar and said compliments to me, not knowing I once was a "fat girl" or didnt have "nice boobs" NO, I didnt fessup, I cowarded out, took the compl;iments, and free drinks and let it ride. I feel guilty for not standing up for the "fat girl" syndrom but I honestly was liking being the cute girl for once. They had no idea of my past and I wont see any of them again, Just wondering how the table would have been 2 years ago, I would have been the "fat girl" People need to be nice, it is a big lesson for me that you never know what the person is like if you let physical stand in the way. remember the fat suit stories we've all heard? this was it in reverse.

maybe some sleep will get me out of my pitty party, at the trainer 8:30 am tomarrow for some more hell!

Brenda

Brenda I just love you. You're so real. Luv the real. I think you already look fantastic and you're going to look even more fantastic in a few months. You'll get there with the cardio. It takes awhile to build up that muscle endurance again, too. I bet you're very surprised at how quickly you pick back up. It's like an exponential curve, truly.

The belt lipectomy sort of tightened my legs, yes. They didn't specifically work on my legs, but by pulling up my butt and abs, it smoothed out my legs quite a bit. Plus I lost like 15 more pounds after I got the belt. Yeah, they don't touch any more - crazy! I fit (tight) into size 6's today. SIZE 6!!! Holy hell, I couldn't believe it. I haven't been that size since I was 2 years old. They were short shorts, though. Could never have done it with jeans as my legs are not a size 6, just my stomach/hips. My legs are more like 8's or 10's. I need to update my ticker. I'm like 150 pounds now. Just 10 more pounds, I swear it. No more after that. Promise.

Brenda, hun, you don't have to fess up that you were once the fat girl. I don't mention it until like the 3rd date anyway. The new fella I'm dating has seen old fat pics of me, and guess what? He doesn't care! Shocked the hell out of me when he kissed me after saying, "you were still beautiful." Boy, I could fall for this guy. Anyhow, just live it up. You're hot, girl, and you can strut it once in awhile. Hey, do you just love your boobs? I'm thinking of having mine done. They're not saggy because I just never had any, but I'm thinking of getting implants. Smaller ones - like a C or something. Do you have any implants?

Love the personal trainer, girl. He's going to get you looking even hotter. Just do what the man says with a smile on that beautiful face of yours.

WHAT THE HELL IS A SIZE 6, AND WHERE DO YOU FIND THEM!!!!!!!

so today my butt, legs, calves, ok hip to toe hurts, that damn trainer!! My goal for the next 2 months (we set new ones every 3 months or as achieved) is to run, so my legs and butt better cowgirl up to the new pain. Maybe pushing myself will get me back sooner so that is my mindset today.

Sounds like you have a keeper in this new guy. Just dont get sooo attached just yet, lets see can we find more hoops to jump thru???

Does he have money, yes cash, moola, dough??? some will day that is not impoirtant, but lets be real, if no money lots of arguing forseen in future over lack of it. I'm not saying its #uno, just important. and if I'm living thru you, I want money, looks, and personality, I WANT IT ALL. heck, I have it all now so I want it for you too. (now that sounded stuck up!) Maybe show him a terrible 2's pic and see if he thinks you were cute then.

Boobs are now a "c" at VS if any smaller I may consider implants but if they stay a c I am good. I really am considering the inner leg Lipo, I will talk to doc at picture time appt. This stuff is addiction expecially as I sit here with my legs achin'

trip to SL may be in works, daughter wants my kitchen table and Iam ready for new so... If it works it will be first week in April, maybe then you could explain this size "6". baby clothes???

Girl you will GET THERE! You're a pusher (not a drug pusher), and I know you'll reach whatever goal you set. I can tell. You're a high achiever, for sure. And your boobs look good too LOL. I'm jealous. Mine are small. Like a small B. Good to know yours are a "c" because they look about how I want mine to look.

Yes, the new guy is a good one, I think. Here's the thing, though: We're both religious people, but we can't seem to be good together. It's the same damn problem I had with my ex. It causes internal conflict. On one hand I don't believe in sex before marriage, on the other hand I can't seem to stop! He feels bad about it, too. He's gone until April for work so I'm trying to take this opportunity to move our relationship out of the sex realm and into reality reality. We were there once, we can get there again. Oh my, I'm honest with you people. It's because you're all anonymous LOL. But anyhow, he does have it all. I'm attracted to goal-oriented men, and money usually comes with that. I'm not attracted to money, but they seem to have it, only because they're all goal-driven. I'm somewhat independently wealthy and I don't really need a guy for his money, I'd rather have him for other qualities. He's DEFINITELY got looks! But what I love most about him is that he likes the same stuff I like: Road cycling, hiking, swimming, running, kayaking, traveling, culture, dirt biking, etc. He's got this hard body like you wouldn't believe. It's beyond a 6-pack. He's 6'1", looks like a greek statue. But in addition to that he's so sweet to me, very caring. He's also got a british accent. BRITISH ACCENT, people! He's some kind of trainer for the British Royal Army in Denmark, but he's here about half the time for the army. I have to admit, his preciseness bothers me a little. But he's a real gentleman. Okay, I'm going on and on. I'll stop now.

FOR SURE let me know if you come to SLC in April. We can go shopping at the Gateway or go for a bike ride, if you like that and have time. It'd be a treat. We could even go to the Rocky Mountain chocolate Factory (shhhh, I didn't say that). I hope I can eat SOMETHING there. These braces are driving me crazy. I got them yesterday. I have to have them on for the next 4 months!

[puddin 7]

Alright, Brenda, my MOTHER has found my blog. Oh sh*$ is all I have to say! There are secrets there. Deep, dark secrets! That's what I get for posting my damn name in the title LOL! I'm such a dork. Why did I think she was too Internet dumb to find it??? I'm her virginly daughter. Guess she knows now. THANK HEAVENS I never blogged about doing the really bad things with Jacques. But I think the talking dirty stuff was enough to scare the woman. And now she knows about the Canada incident, too. She calls me on the phone today and says, "Hey, I showed my colleague your porn pic." I'm like "which one?" LOL, thinking she'd gone to my flickr site (which is mom-safe). She says "You know, the one on your triathlon site." I almost threw up. She had showed her colleague my tummy-tuck pics, but amongst the tummy-tuck pics are the dirty, internet-voyeurish secrets, ones that MOMS shouldn't see! It's like walkin in on your parents. She DID say, "Yeah, all I showed her were your pictures. I can't handle reading the rest of it." Oh my. That means she freakin' read it. She handled it well. I am an adult and I make my own stupid decisions and she respects it. But I really wanted my mom to see me as the GOOD daughter. Oh hell, maybe she can relate to me now. After all, she's got a past, too.

So I faced it head-on (after looking like a deer in headlights) and posted a "Hi Mom" on the site. Of course, I also went through the blog and deleted all references to sex (well... most. I figured I couldn't take out Canada). So no more references to boys, making out, Jacques, or sex. I'll save that for the PRIVATE blog, which shall always remain nameless and under password protection. Sure glad I won't see her for the next two weeks!

Oh my...I think I would die if my mom read my blogs!! You handled it very well Georgia.

[overweightmom 0]

Hope you recover very fast!

[spldgrl 0]

Puddin,

your sooo funny, guess what??? I am a mom who read my daughters my space and thought" wholly crap she's going wild there is salt lake." honestly, cause I'm another who says it how it is before thinking my mother could read this, We mom's kinda know, and we forget the stuff we dont want to remember. My daughter is 20 tho, big difference. I just told her I read it and bam!, just like you did, the scarry stuff was gone. isnt that funny, I could be your mom!!! ok now my achin back is hurtin cause of arthritis..lol. dont worry, shell forget the stuff she doesnt want to remember, TRUST ME< BEEN THERE,DONE THAT!wow, never thought my kids could have walked in, boy theyd be in therapy for sure.. what I dont know doesnt hurt me in either case! we do not have a bedroom door tho, we own the entire upstairs so no door, eeks!!! that just goes to show there are some paybacks for kids from their parents. haha.

Not to pry, but if you dont believe in pre maritial sex, and other references, and the fact you live in salt lake, I maybe jumping but are you LDS?? More on that later......

So worked my butt off with trainer today. tried the run 2, walk 3 incline 5 walk at 3.8-4.0 and run at 5.0-5.3- all i can say is "oh my holy" then the regular stregnth training for an hour. so I am tired, but feeling like I'm on the road again.

Have a great day,

[puddin 7]

Oh Brenda, you are on the road to recovery! Sounds like you're rockin the treadmill and the other workouts. You're just about to what I'm doing. I'll usually do 3.2 miles on the treadmill every day. I do 5.3 miles per hour with a 1 minute rest at 3.5 mph every 10 minutes.

Did it scar you to read your daughter's myspace? What is she doing in SLC? Going to the U of U? I may be working there pretty soon doing web analytics. So how does the whole upstairs without a bedroom door work? That would certainly scar a child LOL. But it's good to know my mom may just forget what she's read. Honestly, it was a stupid, stupid thing to put up. It's essentially my diary online. I don't care if total strangers read it, in fact, the thought is somewhat liberating to me. But my MOM can't read it!

Anyhow, yes, I am LDS. I actually served a mission for my church a few years ago in Canada, same area where I'm doing the triathlon and where my ex is from. Ahh, those were the days when I was a good girl... I think subconsciously I may have kept the weight on, and kept gaining, because I knew this would be an issue for me if I was skinny and I didn't want to deal with it. Please don't get me wrong, I love my church with all my heart, and I love God with all my heart, but the flesh is weak, especially right now. I'm not making any excuses for my behavior. It's GOT to change or I'll never progress, especially with Jacques, if we keep doing what we're doing. This can't continue. Maybe my mom finding my blog is a wakeup call for me. I didn't post the really bad stuff I did with him, THANK HEAVENS! But she may have just figured it out. But yes, sex before marriage is a big deal in my religion. And having sex multiple times before marriage is an even bigger deal - especially when you've been on a mission. If I don't stop I'll get excommunicated - my worst nightmare. And Jacques will, too, so we need to quit this business before it ruins us. My ex was excommunicated and it DID ruin his life. He's working really hard to get back, but screwed that up with me, too. Set him back very, very far, and me too.

So can you sense the internal conflict going on? Whether or not you believe in sex before marriage, you can't keep doing something you dont believe in doing or it destroys you from the inside. So that's where I am toady. Happy day! But really, going out of town this weekend with friends will help me to clear my head and get my priorities straight again. Have a fantastic weekend, y'all!

wee, ya know, I grew up LDS and have some background too. You can get help with inner peace, and you know how (hint hint) You need to talk to someone, off line, that you can really trust and that may have experience but not judgmental. I had issues as a teenager and my parnets took me to my bishop. talk about humilating- I saw him every week, and that didnt sit well with me. excommunication is not the solution, you can figure this out without that extreme measure.

good luck with your thought gathering weekend, I'll be thinking of you, ok cursing you as I run on the treadmill, but thinking about you- good luck!

[Paulax 8]

OK, I am convinced. Puddin, you look awesome and I can't believe the difference in your inner thighs due to the lower body lift.

OK I am embarrassed to ask, but I'd like to ask you if we can see you from behind. I'd love to see where the scars fall on your bottom.

Thanks for sharing your journey my dear, you REALLY are a poster girl for lap band and cosmetic surgery.

[ReneBean 3]

I'm with Paul, Puddin. You look fantastic - and that scar is really nice and thin, already.

I would like to see how it looks from the back. This procedure is definitely in my future - and I may even use your doc. DANG you look good!

[kareyquilts 1]

Puddin: You've been awfully quite lately. I hope that everything is all right and that you are doing well. Having several children who have gone inactive in the LDS church because of sexual activity, I'm worried about you. There really are guys out there who won't push the enevolpe and who will respect you. You need to get to know these guys and if there the one than get married! I don't want to preach at you. I think you are a great girl. I don't want to see you ruin your life either. I can tell that you have a strong conscience. You've been through a lot and you have some issues. Lots of people have issues and Heavenly Father loves all of us. I wish you the best with all aspects of your life. I really appreciate all that you have shared.

[puddin 7]

Karey

You're very sweet. Thanks for your words of encouragement. You're absolutly right, too. I don't want to go inactive. The church is so incredibly important to me. The funny thing about all of this is that I have continued to say my prayers, read my scriptures, pay my tithing, go to church, etc. I just have this one BIG problem. But I know this problem could spread to inactivity, especially if I were excommunicated. I do feel terribly about this. But I have resolved myself to not do it again until I'm married. I've slipped up on a couple dates, not with full-on sex, but with some hardcore making out. But, you know, I never had this stupid problem before Kori, my ex. Once it was lost, it has been SO hard to not do things with men. And I do have issues, though I didn't think I did. Many of them come as a consequence of sin, mostly the sin from my most serious relationship with Kori, and also the incredible rejection afterwards. It was like I gave him something precious and then he threw me away. I felt terrible.

I'm very much like a teenager, dating-wise. I don't know how to keep boundaries, I'm just... horny, basically. I don't even respect some of these guys, and especially don't respect them after making out with them and then never call or respond to them again. I seem to have maintained my respect for Jacques, however, strangely enough. Maybe because we had a friendship base prior.

But I need to listen more, Karey. Like, for example, I have a date with a guy next Thursday. For some reason I feel sick about it, very sick. I KNOW he's a bad boy and he uses women, however, he promises up and down that he won't try to make out with me. He's an honest guy, so I believe he intends not to. But on the other hand... why do I feel so sick about it? I think I'm hunt for him. He's the kind of guy who can get any woman he wants: He's been a model, into extreme sports, beautiful, beautiful body, surfer-type dude, very "cool"... the kind of guy I would have never dreamt of going out with... and so I really think I'm not his type. I said, "Seth, I think you're a really cool guy, but I don't want to go out with you." Well ever since he's just been laying it on THICK. And that's why I think I'm the hunt. He wants what he can't have. I know it would never work out with HIM, but I want the boy to set me up with his brother, who IS a good guy, but Seth says he won't until I go out with him, first. Then he says I can have his bro. He told me that he thought I'd be good for his brother, but that he didn't want to pass up the opportunity to first say he didn't want me, just in case. Oh my. I feel so passed around.

Anyhow, it's like I'm blogging here and I'm sorry... but Karey, I will honestly try to be better. I'm going to pray hard for some strength tonight, and especially for the upcoming week where I have a few dates that may end up going in that direction.
