First things first...
Happy, happy birthday BABY!
You're getting old but I still love you!
So what happened after I worried all night about whether the girls I would be working with would like me or not?
I was really nervous when I got to the first job Friday morning. My friend, the boss, wasn't going to be there right at 8 a.m. so I had to go on in and meet the girls alone.
They were kids!
One was 20, the other 22. (The third girl showed up with the boss and was a little older than me).
OK, so I am not much older than that, but seriously, no matter how insecure I am I really don't care what any kids but my own kids think of me :)
Of course, I was my usually funny self and it only took about an hour for me to come out of my shell. The "kids" were sweet, young and cocky, but sweet.
I actually called the younger one out on an insecurity of her own. She is pretty loud and I jokingly told her she uses her mouth as a front. She laughed for a sec and then told me that actually I was right. She said she was scared to meet me this morning because the boss had talked highly of me and when she gets nervous she gets loud :) Funny, huh?

I got a call last night from the organizer of the coed softball team I signed up for. She didn't seem all that friendly but we'll see. I love the game and hope some crab apple doesn't ruin it for me.
I am kind of excited to see how my lifestyle change has affected my game. I wonder if the weight training has improve my arm and my batting skillz. I know it will be easier for me to run the bases! I used to joke and say that if I wasn't so slow I would actually have a lot of home runs under my belt. Like I said, we'll see.
*topic change*
I hit the health food jackpot last night. Ori and I were on our way to Walmart to get some groceries and I decided to check out a local salvage store that's on the way. The store owner hooks up with companies and buys dented cans, crushed boxes, etc. I found my Pria bars for .10 a piece! I also got a couple of South Beach products to try since they were like 75% less than the normal price.
*another completely different subject*
I watched Hell's Kitchen last night. I really, really got annoyed at one of the girls. She was saying that one of the other contestants was slow during food prep and that the reason she was slow is because she was overweight. I could tell by the way the girl said it that she has an issue with overweight people.
First off, I didn't really think the girl was that overweight. There is another girl in the kitchen who I think is comparable to her size-wise. She probably was the biggest of the girls but not by much and she definitely wasn't what I would call morbidly obese.
Secondly, I'm not 100% sure how some one's weight would make them slow at food prep. Did her chubby fingers impair her chopping abilities? Did her fat rolls knock food off of the counter and onto the floor on numerous occasions? Give me a break already!!
AND this same girl who doesn't care for fat people gets into a hot tub in her bra and undies on national television to seduce one of the guys so that she can blind and distract him and win the contest.
I'll take fat over skanky any day.
SNAP!
Challenge:
Put em up, put em UP!
Shadow box!
Try to imagine a stressor while you are punching.
Give me two minutes and show them no mercy!
I'll be beating the crap out of GAS PRICES, or maybe Ms. Thang from Hell's Kitchen!

Yay! Glad to hear about how it went when meeting the "kids." It's interesting that one of them was nervous about meeting YOU when you were also nervous about meeting them.
To work out my legs, I do an exercise that I learned from kick boxing a few years ago. Stand in fighting stance (knees slightly bent and arms at the ready). Jab punch in front of you and duck by lowering yourself (using your legs). Stand back up and jab again. Repeat the process. It's pretty much like boxing. It really does work your legs as well as your stamina from moving so fast. Not sure if I explained it right, but Shadow Box reminded me of it. We had friends over until almost 11pm last night, so I didn't make time to do my exercises. I hope to make up for them tonight!
So glad to hear about softball! I so miss the game. I can already see you racing around the bases! Let us know how it goes! I hope it's fun because that's what it's all about!
I've never watched Hell's Kitchen before, but you assumptions about what Stank was probably thinking are most likely right on. I hate to admit it, but I used to think the same thing when I was a kid (tween and younger). I'm okay with confessing that because I've grown since then. God has really worked in my life and continues to do so, just like he's working in yours.
Thanks for you honesty Leigh! I am so glad God has allowed you to grow! Your honesty has actually sparked a new blog topic for me!
Look for it next week!
Chelle, Morning! OK - pray for my knee, it's been aching the last few days which will limit the physical activity I can do. I'll let you know.

I will be beat boxing the 'fat feeling' today! Woke up and just feel ucky about myself. So, I am gonna beat it out! We were supposed to go to breakfast and have a date this morning and work out, but that didn't happen. So, am a little perturbed about that. We are supposed to do lunch and then work out, I really hope we can do that! He has had poison ivy, so there has not been much touch and trying to get to 200 has been slow coming. Pray that his poison ivy goes away quickly. Thanks for listening, y'all, just having a poopy day, but am thankful I can get on here and just vent! Love you all!
Oh my gosh Michelle, I was laughing so loud over here that I started choking. I had to yell DNR!
I LOVE that workout Leigh Ann! It absolutely wonderful!
So I've never watched Hell's Kitchen before, but that makes me want to punch at her- so I'll be thinking of her as I do my workout.
I'm glad things went well with the "kids", you have such a bubbly personality that I knew things would go well. :)
Woo-girly, just did the Shadow Box to an Aiyesha Woods song, and wooh the 'fat feeling' is down for the count! Thanks for that challenge!! Rockin!
Okay you've had several references to DNR this week. What the heck does it mean??
Do Not Resuscitate! :) LOL
Gurl, you will never believe what I did today! Michael and I did go on our date to Cracker Barrel and I ate the whole friggin Momma's French Toast thing. We went home and napped before youth group. Then Michael had to leave at 4PM for a STaff meeting and I was like hey, I am not going to ride with you, I am gonna walk to church. I am pretty sure I live 3 or so miles away from church, maybe more. Am unsure. But, I walked that thing and it was gooooooooooood! I lurved it! Just thought I would let ya know!
Ah people are ignorant about overweight people. A guy I work with once told me the only reason most Opera singers are bigger is because their chest expands more due to their large size and it helps them sing longer and louder. I thought to myself is he serious. I looked at him and said are you sure you took anatomy.
