    OK I think I have a problem, help me!

    Shelley -- Nope...sometimes a little "wild" is a good thing. I was trying to say "scumbag losers who sleep around, take drugs, steal, lie, and cheat"...but it came out as "wild" :-) YOUR kind of "wild" is a good thing!!!! Shonie

    OK I think I have a problem, help me!

    Maximus -- Here is my advice, and I REALLY know what I'm talking about here -- so LISTEN UP! Under NO circumstances are you to get involved with trainer boy. Feel good about the attention and possibly flirt back -- but do not, I REPEAT, do not get involved! I thought you had a great...

    It's about time -- Shonie's Road Trip Pictures

    WOW -- thank you all for the love on the house pictures! I didn't really think you'd be taking a look at those. I REALLY appreciate the wonderful feedback (makes me think maybe my taste isn't completely terrible). Of course, those are the pictures of the finished rooms. The rooms...

    Alrighty people...I've uploaded the pictures now but I got lazy toward the end and didn't put a description. Shonie "You must be the change you wish to see in the world" - Mahatma Gandhi http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=6&uid=3655618&

    For those of you with lower back pain

    Hi Jes-si-ca!!! I'm so sorry to hear about your back pain. I'm sure people have given you some good advice here -- and I'm sorry if I'm re-iterating anything they've said -- but I'm too hot and irritated to do much of anything right now (the AC at my office is OUT AGAIN...this makes 3 weeks...

    Can't believe I have to deal with this babyish behavior...

    I agree with Lisa and Sherry. First, I think it IS unprofessional of your new boss to be calling the other employees "wolves" or whatever. Immediately that clouds your judgement about them and gives them the label of being "difficult to work with". It's unfair to them, unfair to you, and...

    Measuring protein intake

    Candi :-) Hey...I'm an engineer for goodness sake and I'll admit that doing math in my head is JUST NOT gonna happen! That's why the whole Zone diet thing wouldn't work for me (although I can incorporate the ideas ... just not carefully measuring everything and getting exact percentages)...

    Gym Slackers

    LauraMax -- How can someone NOT like YOU?!?! I used to be the same way (quiet and focused) at the gym I go to at lunchtime. But now that I've been there a while, I spend a lot of time talking to the regulars. So now I'm going to a different gym at night to finish whatever I didn't get to...

    Measuring protein intake

    Hey Jes -- I agree with Candi for the most part. To make it easy, I just try to get 1 g of protein per lb of bodyweight. I don't like having to do math in my head with percentages of this and that just to figure out how much protein I need. Shoot for that and you'll be doing good. It...

    Yo Jes!! I grew!!!

    Were you wearing heels? ;-) Is your hair taller? ;-) --> Oops, only applies to "big-haired" Texas girls! Sorry...gotta get a smart-a$$ remark in there sometime today! See ya...OH...forgot to mention way-back-when...I LOVE the target stability ball picture! Totally cracked me up...

    Does anyone get bloating?

    Hey Shelley :-) Thanks for thinking of me...since my name IS synonymous with "bloat". Yes...eating grass from my lawn (now almost dead due to sprinkler fiasco) is about the only thing left in my list of "non-bloat" foods. Doing a search for "bloat" or for the messages I have posted shall...

    Where are the Texas girls?

    Awww...thanks for thinking about us! I'm here but everytime I pull up my browser, the boss walks by my cube :-( AND I'm behind schedule so that doesn't look too good. Hello...when am I NOT behind schedule? And now the post office has gone and pissed me off -- idiots over there. Chris...

    Is this dangerous?

    Ha! Pinky...the old "heavy dumbbell on the headphone" trick works every time. I can hear it now: "Oh my, looks like I crushed your little headphones ;-) Darn me and my super-human upper body strength! Well, now whatcha gonna do buddy?!?" I think a 35 would do it for sure!!! Just be...

    Your personal experience with cellulite

    Hi, my name is Shonie, and I have cellulite ;-) I noticed it for the first time when I was about 16 or 17. I happened to be walking down a sidewalk and noticed my reflection in the window of a building. Oh my -- what WAS that on my legs? It just got worse throughout college (where, BTW, I...

    my biggest obstacle to 5-day-a-week cardio

    I'm with Shelley (and what's wrong with COLOUR? ;-)) I must wash my hair everyday. If I don't -- I feel stinky and cannot quite wake up. Could be a mental thing, but I cannot imagine going 4 days without washing my hair. My hair is coloured too ... but, then again, maybe it looks like...

    Is this dangerous?

    Ahhh...I figured you had 25's :-) 30's!!! My goodness girl...you ARE gonna put the husband to shame! Oh well, he'll get over it. Besides, with all the conference calls, he might not even notice ;-) Okay...I'm totally impressed by the 30lbs for one-armed rows. My back is so WEAK. I...

    Is this dangerous?

    Hey Pinky -- I don't think flyes with 25 lbs are any more "dangerous" than flyes with any pounds. You always have to be careful to maintain proper form (as you know :-)) regardless of how much weight you are using. Just be sure not to go too far down and/or stop if you feel it in your...

    Cathe! We took a special pic for you !

    Aw...shucks! You would have done the same for me, Marla. It really wasn't a big deal since I knew I was taking the rest of the day off to sleep. BTW, MARLA, did you leave some $$$ in my car? I think you did! That's not right!!!! Okay...back to work. Shonie

    WHAT'S EVERYONE'S...

    Laughing! I hate all ab work :-) But I feel the "hip dips" more than anything else (where you're on your side with the ball on your core and then dip down and up). I also feel the stability ball work and like pilates for the "tight" feeling I have in my abs all day afterward. Shonie...

    What was your epiphany?

    I've recently realized that I never do anything moderate, I'm always at extremes! So my inspiration was seeing Bev Francis in the "Pumping Iron -- the Women" movie. Cheezy movie -- but when she shows her legs after she's been cutting some fat ... I said "WOW...I want legs like that!" Well...
