Yardies at Home and a Farrin (part15)

Me either. I know he would take care of me...but it wouldn't be fair to have him new to the city trying to drive the kids around...get my medicines...grocery shop and everything without a drivers license. He will spend some time with our girls...and hopefully when he comes up I will at least be able to drive around again. We will try to have him come up mid or end of August.

The main thing is YOU get to make the decisions now, not USCIS!! For a little while at least.....

No big chop for me... I let the perm grow out and just got the ends trimmed. I have about 1-2% perm left. Next time I trim (next week) I will be 100%.

What made me go natural? Well I got cheap and not wanting to pay for a perm...I loved when my mom did mines..and she lives in Florida..so not an option. My friends telling me that I have a texture of hair that would still be managable. Notice..I didn't say good hair...cause I think all hair is good.

It has been a positive experience. Hubby likes my weave ponytail style...just not feeling the piece sitting on the bathroom counter. lol

New York...from VH-1...is all natural...she just keeps it weaved up.

kk, we're gonna have to build some sort of hanger for our ponytails.. a lil hat rack type thingy that can go in the bathroom or closet

Morning ladies,

Just sneaking on a computer at work, cause im nosey and its Friday and friggin ready for the day to be over with. Anyhoo hope everyone has a blessed day.

Jawi, mi call you last night and lawd mi musah really misdial, cause one African ooman called me back and told me to stop calling her husband along with some not so nice words. I tried to explain to her that I dialed the wrong number, but she didn't want to hear it. Now, why must people be like that. I was about to call wakey, but my husband and I were dying with laugther...I don't know when this woman had time to look up my cell number and find out I was in maryland and she was going to drive up her and beat my A$$...I told her not to call back, but she kept on callin....

anyhoo, now, mi caan membah wah mi did call u fah innah di fus place

Ha ha....only you, girl.

I know, and I was so polite to the lady. When I realized it was the wrong number, I politely explained it to her, but...cho, I just got a good laugh out of it, she was very upset.

DYAM.. if her husband got her acting like that, she need to give him the BOOT!

Happy Friday ppl

Ok so I'm caught up..and have a question for anyone that has been heavy (over 100 lbs and lost it)

So as you guys know I've been working out with this girl from work for past year and half. I'm more toned and lost 20lbs but it's been stalled since Nov last year. I've missed a few workouts if I take time off work and my two weeks of vacation last month. Anywho..I told my friend (the wanna be trainer) that I read that I may not be losing because when jogging I'm conditioning the heart and getting healthy but I'm not in a fatburn zone. From what I read I need to do something that keeps the heart rate steady (like a brisk walk) and not something where I'm gasping for air like I do with the 30 min run. She went off! Told me that I'm going backwards and I just don't want to work. Told me that if I would be consistent (ahhh hello a year and half is what I call consistentcy) the weight would come off. She refuse to speak to me now and told me to work out on my own (cool)

But my question is…….. who's right..

First of all what the hell is her problem she acting like she yo damn man or sumptin tell her azz to kick rocks! she irks my nerves and i dont even know her...

I lost a total of 65 pounds in like 5 or 6 months what i did was weight watchers and i went to the gym three times a week 2 times a week i did spinning classes which is awesome you will drop when incorporating spinning in your work out routine, the only thing is spin class is a hard work but it pays off and you get use to it after the first couple of times. when not doing the spin classes i usually did the elliptical or the prector for a half and hour along with light weights after a while i noticed i stopped losing weight because of course when you first start something it is a shock to the body then after a while you get use to it so i had to step up my work out a lil more and now im noticing im losing again now i work out four times a week in the mornings and watch my eating lunch is lean cusines and dinner is always proportion controlled so far i lost and additional 12 pounds in the past 3 weeks. its really hard to stay in a fatburn zone i always end up doing cardio oh i also do the programs on the machines right now i do the fatburn course on the prector its a half hour with 3 hills...

wakey I am not sure who is right but I know I was working out like you were and I wouldn't shed a pound but once I started following weight watchers the weight fell off. I didn't join but had a friend that did and we kind of just helped each other out. I also started going from 1/2 an hour to an hour of cardio so I am not sure which one did the trick. Not sure what your diet is or how long you are working out.

That's what I told her that I wanted to kick up the time of my cardio from 30 min to 60 for 6 days a week. I told her I just want to see if this will work I mean what I'm doing now has been wanting to throw up my hands and sit on the couch until I'm no more.

My eating is good during the week eating vegatbables and meat I cut back on the rice......but on the weekend I eat too many carbs. I love bread, cookies, cake, cereal.

boy oh boy this is my problem carbs i cant cut them i try and try i will make a samich out of damn near anything smh... i just get weight watchers bread or 40 cal bread by arnolds and wheat pasta and such...

Hey Island,

I just read your question, my mom had my little brother flighing alone since he was two, back then it was only $50 for the flight attendant to escort him, but he was fine... Just make sure its a direct flight, once they check him in the flight attendant will be responsible for him from that point. Before 911 the use to let parents and go to the gate and wait until their kids get on the flight but I think that's all change now.

At think you do need a note or something though because once the flight attendant brings in thru the gate they will be asking for ID and making sure the you are infact the person listed on the note that they should turn him over to... Atleast that's how it use to work..

We use to do that alot for my grandmother too, since she was old and need assistance..

Thanks for your input K!

Good Morning All!

Thanks HeavenSent and Sunray! It went so fast in retrospect. I need to book his ticket now...he will be coming mid or end of August. This has been 5 years in the making and I am estatic! I'm still in shock that there will be no more trips to see my man and saying goodbye to him for months at a time until I can book the next flight. It feels great! I wish I could travel back with him...but this process has tapped my funds a LOT!!!

Next big hurdle is AOS...such an unjustified sum of money! GEEZZ!!

i agree WHOLE HEARTEDLY.. i can't imagine trying to save that kind of money AND create a life w/ a new husband.. it sucks, but i know u and A will make it happen!!

[phillyfashionista 8]

Yes Wakey, I am just going to go to the ER I tried, better to be safe than sorry.

He responded he needs to be ready for anything! This is me . Ok I can deal with the flashlight, I just can't deal with being wrapped up in hot blankets in 80 degree weather LOL

But my question is…….. who's right..

My dad did tell me a while ago that if I’m ever working out where I can’t catch my breath I’m burning sugar not fat. He told me to pace my self and drink water so I think what you read might be right.

Yup! Just wash it down with a cup of milk.

Have any of you sat down and calculated how much $$$$$$$$ is spent during the process. It's very depressing, but when I look at my wonderful husband, it's well worth it.

that is just precious and must make you feel so loved...although a bit scary to have a light shining in your face.
