RockStar Saturday Morning!

 

rn

Good morning buddies! I am ever so excited today!

rn

I had the whole morning to myself today, and MAN…It was rather delightful! I feel so very GIRLY!!!

rn

The husband left early in the morning to volunteer at our animal shelter, and I decided I needed the morning off! WOO HOO!

rn

So I got up, drank my leisurely cup O coffee, read some blogs, headed to the workout room for a KICK ASS work out…Then I headed off for a shopping expedition!

rn

Can I just say, it was a total party for one!!!

rn

I was absolutely desperate for some work pants…I work in a “Business Casual” environment, and NONE of my pants were fitting anymore…So I went out and shopped like a mad woman this morning…

rn

All size 14s, thank you very much!

rn

The truly amazing thing is though, as I was going through the jeans, I pulled out a size 20/22 (My starting size!!!) and I could NOT beleive I used to wear them…Truly…I couldnt relate to them at all, yet I wore that size for a long long time…TOO long…

rn

It made me VERY VERY grateful to be a size 14…I sometimes forget that… As I seem to be always on a quest for more more more…UGH…

rn

The gooder news is (yes, I know thats NOT a word Scott!) I think I will be out of my 14s in the next 10 pounds…I hope, anyway…I had a hard time finding some today that fit me well…

rn

Alot of them were baggy in my legs, prooving once again that me legs are getting smaller thanks to my workouts! (Yes, I tried squeezing into a 12 and it was NOT pretty!)

rn

So now I am off for a bit to color my hair with my lovely husbands help, I shall become the Blond Godess I was meant to be!!!

rn

In honor of the Super Bowl and one of my all time favorite artists, I will leave you with this theme song today:

rn

“Hey, look me over
Tell me do u like what u see?
Hey, I ain’t got no money
But honey I’m rich on personality
Hey, check it all out
Baby I know what it’s all about
Before the night is through
U will see my point of view
Even if I have 2 scream and shout

Baby I’m a (star)
Might not know it now
Baby but I r, I’m a (star)
I don’t want to stop, ’til I reach the top
Sing it (We are all a star!)”

rn

~Prince (Baby I’m a Star)

    You just go with your bad self, Sister!!  A morning to yourself, new pants, new hair color…can I just say wow?

    WOW!!!!!!

    I’ll save the big wow after I see a pic with the new color!

    ROCK ON, Miss Dawn!!  What a fun morning!  I can’t believe how many pant sizes you’ve already lost - before you know it you’re going to hit the single digit racks!!  I think it’s great that you’re treating yourself to a personal party day - you certainly deserve it!  (Also, it’s very cool that your DH volunteers with the animals…awwwww!)

  3. Marie @ February 3rd, 2007

    Yay! Size 12 here Dawn comes!!

  4. Sissy @ February 3rd, 2007

  5. Nikki @ February 3rd, 2007

  6. Michele @ February 3rd, 2007

  7. Cindy @ February 3rd, 2007

    You go girl!  What a great day you must have had……..I remember when I lost weight the last time and how great it felt to see a different number on the tag it elevates you all day! You really have something to be very proud of. Enjoy your weekend.

    So Dawnie’s gonna be a blonde, well look out Ohio!

    I’m glad you enjoyed your morning, and your size 14’s…you’re welcome very much.

    I see you are a fan of ‘classic’ Prince, me too. Although my favorite songs of his aren’t fit to print the lyrics in mixed company.

    Being that we are the same age, you will probably know what I am referring to. Do you remember the moment when you realized exactly what the 1 on the 1999 album cover was? We were in grade school when that came out, so we were a little slow on the uptake.

    Enjoy your golden tresses, ( and to quote the great Prince ) …..

             YOU SEXY MOTHER…….ER !

    You mean a rock star morning doesn’t mean beer and cheetos?

    Hope you get lots of wonderful clothes.

    And I agree with you about cheese. I realized years ago that I don’t really like many foods that don’t involve melted cheese. 

    My husband is lactose intolerant and can only eat ’sharp’ or ‘old’ cheese (where there is no lactose). I find that’s better to have around because I don’t nibble on it as much, and the stronger flavour means you don’t need as much. For myself, I have been buying smaller, more expensive cheeses (like gruyier) and using them sparingly, rather than hunks of cheddar that I could devour.  But cheese is the best, I agree.

    Hey Dawn! Looks like you had a great day!  Shopping! And almost out of your 14’s? That’s amazing… I can’t wait for that day! But I know I will get there eventually!  I am so proud of you! You are doing so well!

  13. Luella @ February 3rd, 2007

    Keep up the great work, and before you know it you will be wearing a size 12!  Take care.

  14. Judi @ February 3rd, 2007

    Yee Haw, don’t cha love it when the clothes you are trying on are too baggy?  Thanks for reminding me it is important to appreciate all we have done and be grateful….Seems we are always in a rush for more and don’t take the time to congratulate ourselves on our successes.  Looking forward to getting to know you better.  And by the, way I lovvvvvve Prince.

    Cheers,
    Judi

    Congrats on the new pants Dawn!!  You are going down in sizes faster than my car goes 0-60!   When are you going to post the new pic showing us the Blonde Goddess? We are all waiting…..

    Is that all you needed to be a rock star?  Blonde hair? 

    Ahh and the Prince was classic!  Have a great weekend!

  16. Bette Jo @ February 4th, 2007

     You Rock  Yes! You go girl! A size 14……..I can’t wait until the day I can wear a 14!

    You are letting your husband help dye your hair? My are you brave!

    Have great day!

  17. Tina @ February 4th, 2007

    Yeah Dawnie!!!  14 is such a fun size, its really in the misses section and not the plus section, welcome to the other side!!!  Shopping is always so much more fun over here!!! 

    Blonde??  Watch out everyone!  I wish I had a morning by myself, the only way that happens is if I get up at 5:00 a.m. while the family is sleeping, hope you enjoyed yourself!!!!

    Love ya girlfriend!

    Tina

  18. Jo @ February 4th, 2007

    Anyhow, it sounds like you had a wonderful day!! I too like to enjoy oneness once in awhile!
