Julie has invited to join her Race to the shower - her bridal shower is 16 weeks away. Julie´s goal is to get rid of another 15/16 pounds till then. Surely I joined the race. Today in the morning I had my weekly weigh-in day. Please give me some pats on my back: I´ve lost another lb. That´s only 6 lb to go. I´ve more than halved myself (OK: my weight) since I gave birth to Luis. Hopefully this doesn´t sound swanky, but I´m too proud not to tell you! Maybe you cn share my happiness? =)

Wanna join the race or just support? Please visit Flip This Body! And please vote for Julie at the Blogger´s Choice Award. She is nominated for Best Health Blog. I don´t mind if you vote for me, too (Best Design). You have to sign up for voting, but it´s worthy. You´ll find lots of fellow bloggers to show some love to. If you are nominated, too, please let me know so I can vote for you!

xoXOxo,

And now…

You may ask yourself: WTF? Where is Sanni´s Wordless Wednesday entry?
Well… there won´t be a WW today - our internet connection is still a mess… surfing the net and blurfing your blogs feels like being catapulted back to the Stone Age. I decided I won´t participate in today´s WW because I can´t warrant to visit other players. Having a look at all your kind comments I recieved I feel rude because I can´t visit you and leave a comment on my own.

I´ve subscribed to my fave Blogger´s in my feedreader some time ago - so I can read you, but not visit and comment. Do you use a feedreader, too, and if: Does it support the comment section?

I hope the problem will be fixed soon - although the damn so called “hotline” of our provider tells something else… like: “We didn´t register any problem so far. Please visit the arcor-speedcheck-side, up- and download the requested files and report the ticket-numbers.” HA! That´s exactly what I… uhm… let´s say: TRIED. I called the “hotline” and felt like Queen Mimi in her hilarious posting Mimi´s Minutes MEME. I could even watch a jungle growing on my legs while I was waiting for the next free line. After waiting for about one hour (*bing* one minute waiting means 12ct added to my bill *bing*) listening to Mozart´s Lullaby I spoke to a real person, asking me for the ticket-numbers.
I had to answer: “I got none.” -
“We need them. We can´t help you w/ the ticket numbers. They tell us about the port-speed.” -
“Well, lady. There´s been no speed at all. I recieved the error message: “Your connection is way too slow to up- or download any of our packages! We´ll disrupt now. Please try again later!” -
“Oooops - I´ve never heared about this problem before. I´ll put you on hold and ask the supervisior.”

After another 30+ minutes of Mozart´s Lullaby a machine told me:
“All lines are busy right now. Please try again later. Or use our internet support center to inform us about your internet problem!”
WTF??? Helllloooooo?! *WOOZA*

I hope I don´t upset anybody because I´m such a bad blogging pal at present. The only chance to be online is Frank´s work-computer at present… which is mostly occupied. But I promise to catch up as soon as possible…

Julie has invited to join her Race to the shower - her bridal shower is 16 weeks away. Julie´s goal is to get rid of another 15/16 pounds till then. I really appreciate her invitation and joined the race to get back into the loser-saddle. The Easter holidays thwarted my weight loss… way too many chocolate bunnies and other sins. Uhm… okay, it was not the holiday. It was ME munching all that stuff. However, we weigh in once a week. I faced my fears and had a short meeting with my scale yesterday. The scale didn´t do any backflips - but it didn´t tell me not to appear in groups while weighing either. It showed a +/- ZERO. I got no clue hoe this could happen… but I´m glad. That´s still 132 lb - 7 lb to go.

Turnbaby invited everyone to come up with some six-word-stories in her posting Oooo let´s play:


A writer’s meme.Ernest Hemingway said the best thing he ever wrote was a six-word story. It is this:

For sale–
Baby shoes.
Never used.

My challenge to you, Dear Readers and Writers, is to come up with your own six-word story. That’s all. Six words. How hard could that be? It’ll only take a minute.

I´m not a passiontated writer like most of you. I wrote some short stories and I´m working on a novel at present … but all of my work is written in German so far. I could come up with some German six-worder, but: Who wants to read them? Doesn´t make sense =)

Met him. Done it. Size matters.

I shaved my legs for this?

Alone, he was a caring lover.

Dreamed of him. Got him. Crap.

You can trust me, he lied.

George had always been a Lesbian.

Looks yummy! What is it? - Humans.

He loved people. Exceedingly their insides.

“Red!” was the co-drivers last word.

Six word stories are very addictive.

I will do better next time.

Please visit Turnbaby for more entries!

Whatever you do today, please take a minute to stop by The Blogger´s Choice Awards and vote for my blogging pal´s. You´ll have to sign up for it, but it takes only a minute and it´s free.

Last but definitely not least: My wonderful blogging friend Desert Songbird is ecsaping in a few hours. She´ll trip to Indy. I´m wishing her a fabulous vacation - snow- and rain-free of course!

xoXOxo,

Welcome to my Thursday 13 Edition No 14

Many people, including myself truly, often lack the motivation to get off the couch. How many times have O put on my workout clothes, sat down to tie my shoes, then suddenly said to myself: “The producers of 24 are counting on me to watch!” - What to do? I just lack that extra push, not only to get me to the gym, but to push me through a challenging, productive workout. I found my motivation in music. I´ve posted some of the songs - in no particular order - and linked the titels to YouTube (Beware: a couple of them contain explicit lyrics)

13 Songs That Move Me

1.) Gnarls Barkley: Crazy
2.) The Boss Hoss: Hey Ya
3.) Dee Lite: Groove is in the Heart
4.) The White Stripes: Seven Nation Army
5.) Nelly Furtado: Maneater
6.) Will Smith: Switch
7.) Salt N´Pepper: Push It
8.) Destiny´s Child: Bootylicious
10.) Pussy Cat Dolls feat Busta Rhymes: Don´t Cha
11.) Gwen Stafani: Hollaback Girl
12.) Pink!: You And Your Hand
13.) Christina Aguilera: Dirrrty

If you like to find music that moves YOU and you are not sure which songs to use, leave a pad and pencil in the car. The next time you find yourself playing the air guitar and singing like a first round American Idol contestant, write the song down. Its probably a good song to add to your play list. Please wait till you stop driving, to write it down, you are scaring me. =)

Thanks for supporting my weight loss so generously with your comments. This week I´ll do 5 Crunches on my Exercise Ball for each comment I´ll recieve! Thanks to Caylynn for this great tip! =)
So, come on, be my drill instructor!

Happy TT,

And now…
… our moment of Homer J.:

Marge: I think you should do it, Homer, you might learn something new!
Homer: Oh, Marge, whenever I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out. Remember that time I went to those duff brewery classes and I forgot how to drive?
