Baby Wearing
With the proper fitting, babies can be carried for several years. You can try on all of our demos to see what works best with you and your baby, bring your own carriers and learn how to wear them "properly" for the correct positioning of your little one, and learn what baby carriers are the best for newborns vs. older babies.
Discuss which carriers may cause some concerns when it comes to placement of the babies hips, legs, spine and neck.
There are more out there than the ones you just see at the big box stores, and we will discuss why we don't carry specific types.

Tyson Kidd
Real Name
Theodore Wilson
Date of Birth
July 11, 1980
Place of Birth
Some wrestling fans take it too far. Someone recently posted that they wanted to get a tattoo of a blood Mick Foley on their body. The WWE legend himself tried to put a stop to that. Foley advised the person that it would not be a smart move because it is something permanent. It would be something that the person would have to explain to a future spouse.

A picture of the butterfly tattoo that Brie Bella has on her pelvic region. The body artwork can be seen in this photo because she is wearing a skimpy tattoo. The WWE diva made sure that the tattoos were low enough on her body, so that they can be covered when she needs them to be.
March 18, 2014
The internet was buzzing earlier tonight during Monday Night Raw about the new tattoo that Brie Bella got recently. The WWE diva got some sort of design on her pelvic area, and only her fiance Daniel Bryan would be able to provide us with the details, if he ever felt inclined to do so. Here is a picture of the new Brie Bella tattoos.

CMT has a new television show coming out on February 12 called Tattoo Titans, where tattoo artists compete for a weekly prize of $10,000. One of the judges will be familiar to WWE fans. She is going by her real name of Amy Dumas on the show, but wrestling fans know her better as Lita.
February 7, 2014
WWE star Bray Wyatt broke character on Twitter to respond to a question from Tara about one of his tattoos.
November 29, 2013
Last week, wrestling fans were dazzled by Adrian Neville, Sami Zayn, Tyler Breeze and Tyson Kidd during a tag team match on Monday Night Raw. You can expect more of that in the near future, as the WWE NXT stars are being booked for more television appearances. Reports have surfaced that Triple H is the one pushing management to feature the developmental wrestlers more frequently.
September 13, 2014
Even though the mask has been designed and ordered, it looks like Tyson Kidd might not be doing that gimmick after all. Some were pushing for him to receive a new character and push on the main roster because of his long tenure with WWE. However, others are against the idea and want him to remain in WWE NXT to work with the developmental wrestlers.
June 12, 2014
Earlier this week, it was revealed that WWE was planning to put Tyson Kidd under a mask, so that he can receive a push with his new character. Some further details have leaked out. It is now rumored that the gimmick will be a Luchador, which would be interesting because Kidd would be a Canadian performer pretending to be a Mexican wrestler.
May 30, 2014
Rumors are floating around right now that WWE is considering a character change for Tyson Kidd. One of the ideas is to have him become a masked wrestler. Management reportedly feels that his character has been a lower card guy for so long that fans will have trouble viewing him as anything more. A mask would enable Kidd to have somewhat of a fresh start.
May 29, 2014
"It's a fresh coat of paint, a whole new start and a way for the WWE Universe to see Tyson Kidd in a different light than they have for the first few years I've been on the main roster. I think they'll see a more complete package. I'm a constant work in progress, always working on every aspect to get better and better. You're always going to see a different Tyson Kidd. Not that I haven't been in the past, but I'm more motivated, focused and driven than ever before." - Tyson Kidd talking about his work with developmental wrestlers in WWE NXT
May 28, 2014
For those wondering about the status of Tyson Kidd within WWE, his new role has become a bit more clear within the company. Management likes having him work as an in ring trainer in developmental. The high flyer has been utilized in WWE NXT rather frequently. Triple H recently stated that he trusts Kidd in this role. Kidd might still be utilized on the main roster here and there, however.
May 28, 2014
Evan Bourne has been sitting on the sidelines, even though he has been cleared by the WWE medical personnel to return. Tyson Kidd is featured more on Total Divas than on Monday Night Raw and Smackdown. Rumors have it that management is again thinking about putting them in a tag team to give them both something to do.
May 3, 2014
While there are some fans clamoring for him to be utilized on Monday Night Raw and Smackdown better, Tyson Kidd is actually becoming a main part of WWE NXT. The Total Divas cast member will be involved in a title program with Adrian Neville soon, as the two of them are expected to feud with one another over the heavyweight championship down in developmental.
April 26, 2014
A video preview of the upcoming episode of Total Divas, where Tyson Kidd and Natalya Neidhart fight over money. The longtime WWE star wants to loan a lot of money to his sister for a business idea, but his wife has issues with that.
April 25, 2014
One of the big themes of Total Divas next week will be the financial issues between Tyson Kidd and Natalya Neidhart. Trouble arises when Natalya gets upset with Kidd for loaning money to a woman, who appeared to have been his business agent. WWE is trying to figure out as many ways as possible to manufacturer marital problems on screen for the two.
April 22, 2014
"British Bulldog introduced me to Ultimate Warrior at Wrestlmania 12 before the show started. I couldn't have been more excited to meet him. Rest in peace, Ultimate Warrior." - Tyson Kidd talks about meeting Ultimate Warrior
April 11, 2014
Since he is still involved with Natalya Neidhart on Total Divas, WWE wants to figure out a way to utilize Tyson Kidd more as a wrestler on Monday Night Raw and Smackdown. Rumors have it that officials are toying around with the idea of a new gimmick for him, even though his current gimmick works just fine. A push might be taking place in the upcoming weeks.
April 11, 2014
Since he was allowed to be a part of a world famous wrestling family growing up, Tyson Kidd has gotten the chance to live out a dream that a lot of fans can only imagine. In this picture, he is spotted hanging out with Bret Hart and Ric Flair backstage at the WWE NXT event last week.
March 6, 2014
Through Twitter, Natalya Neidhart posted this picture of Tyson Kidd being in the WWE ring with Bret Hart back in 1997. He was just a teenager at the time, and Natalya joked about their relationship.
March 3, 2014
Two seldom used WWE stars got a chance to hang out over the weekend, as Curt Hawkins and Tyson Kidd, who has been regulated to being a side character on Total Divas, were spotted in the audience at an independent wrestling show in New Jersey. The event was promoted by Pro Wrestling Syndicate, and it was a sold out crowd.
February 25, 2014
Through Twitter, Tyson Kidd posted this special congratulatory message to Lita for her upcoming induction into the WWE hall of fame.
February 16, 2014
Rumors were floating around the internet that Shelton Benjamin worked a dark match against Tyson Kidd prior to Monday Night Raw going on the air. However, those speculations were simply started by online fans who were not aware that Benjamin recently underwent surgery on his arm and is currently on the sidelines recovering.
February 12, 2014
You have to be a pretty tough guy to have a father in law named "The Anvil". Through Twitter, Tyson Kidd revealed that he recently celebrated the birthday of Jim Neidhart recently. He also posted this picture of the two of them together.
February 10, 2014
Natalya Neidhart revealed on Twitter that she spent some time with her father, WWE legend Jim Neidhart, and her mother. They went out to dinner for a birthday celebration. Natalya has been extremely busy lately, filming footage with Tyson Kidd for the upcoming and second season of Total Divas, in addition to being on tour with the company still.
February 9, 2014
Apparently, Tyson Kidd and Natalya Neidhart are going to become more of the centerpiece for Total Divas during the second season. Aside from spending a few days in New York City and filming footage, the WWE couple has also been taking dance lessons from April Michelle Ross in Florida, in preparations of an upcoming episode.

Art as a Verb
Presented by MUMA in association with Melbourne Festival
3 October - 16 December 2014
Opening function: Saturday 4 October, 3-5pm
Curatorium: Charlotte Day, Francis E. Parker & Patrice Sharkey
Artists: Marina Abramović, Vito Acconci, Bas Jan Ader, Paweł Althamer & Artur Żmijewski, Francis Alÿs, Billy Apple, John Baldessari, Brown Council, Catherine or Kate, Clark Beaumont, Martin Creed, DAMP, John Davis, George Egerton-Warburton, Peter Fischli & David Weiss, Emily Floyd, Ceal Floyer, Heath Franco, Alicia Frankovich, Andrea Fraser, Ryan Gander, Agatha Gothe-Snape, Matthew Griffin, Bianca Hester, Hi Red Center, Christopher L G Hill, Tehching Hsieh, Tim Johnson, Allan Kaprow, Peter Kennedy, Sister Mary Corita Kent, Anastasia Klose, Laresa Kosloff, Jiří Kovanda, George Kuchar, George Maciunas, Basim Magdy, Paul McCarthy, David McDiarmid, Ian Milliss, Kate Mitchell, Bruce Nauman, Rose Nolan, Claes Oldenburg, Yoko Ono, Ariel Orozco, Deborah Ostrow, Mike Parr, Campbell Patterson, Kenny Pittock, Stuart Ringholt, Sarah Rodigari, Robert Rooney, Martha Rosler, Eva Rothschild, Tony Schwensen, Jill Scott, Kateřina Šedá, Christian Thompson, Rirkrit Tiravanija, Gabrielle de Vietri and Franz West
Art as a Verb is a major thematic exhibition that takes as its departure point the concept of art as action, both inside the gallery and beyond. Drawing upon the unbridled energy and anarchy of fluxus and happenings, and looking back to a moment when art dematerialised, Art as a Verb presents a range of projects from the 1960s to today that challenge the traditional role of the artist and the site of the museum. What constitutes the work of an artist? How do the varying roles of an artist (as instigator, facilitator, teacher, performer, consumer or visionary) fit within broader society? And how does the museum support art forms that function beyond the art object? Bringing together artworks from a wide range of Australian and international practitioners, Art as a Verb will feature documentation of actions and performances, situational pieces, instructional works, manifestoes and interactive props.
Justene Williams
The Curtain Breathed Deeply
6 February - 2 April 2015
Coordinating curator: Geraldine Barlow
Sensory overload is the signature of this expansive video installation environment by Sydney-based artist Justene Williams. Coming to MUMA from Artspace, Sydney, The Curtain Breathed Deeply has been developed through the Catalyst: Katherine Hannay Visual Arts Commission. In what will be her largest and most ambitious undertaking to date, Williams will present a hypnotising landscape constructed from blended film sets, stage props and video installations. This major new work draws upon references to art history: Picasso, Leger and Kahlo; together with pop culture influences such as Hip Hop, 90s pop group Milli Vanilli and the Broadway musical A Chorus Line. Williams' choreographed videos blend references to Shamanism, Voodoo and Primitivism; she amasses a wealth of pattern, colour and texture, with layered references to her own childhood: memories of her father's wrecking yard, early dance classes, and experience constructing elaborate retail window displays. Found objects, mass produced materials and waste will be amongst the many materials transformed in this sequence of vivid theatrical and experiential environments.

The "hints" just keep on coming, my confidence is now 70/75%. Could all fade into nothing but looking very promising at the moment.
Interestingly, the zonal wind forecasts aren't suggesting much change at the lower levels of the Polar Stratosphere. It may just be holding off those strong winds from above:
Institute of Meteorology: Physics of the Middle Atmosphere -
Stronger winds may be trying to creep up from below the stratosphere at around 30N though which is my only concern. Will have to keep watching this. At the moment my gut is that the upper strat may eventually win out before we get some decent attempts at blows to the vortex.
hi all winter is on its way cold and frosty by the end of november with snow showers at times with a strong easterly winds at times winter is coming.............
The Met was brilliant on the London snow earlier this year. They got it down to the nearest hour, practically the nearest minute. I think their short range (3-5) day forecasts are pretty reliable and once it gets to 24 hours they're frequently spot on. Having said this, I don't check it much unless there's weather warnings so am not exactly an expert! It's still impossible for anyone to consistently predict long-range accurately.

One of the bigger names in a very talented DT class. National Football Post
Brian Price: No. 92, DT, 6-2, 295
Price displays a flexible, thick lower half, coils up into his stance and can explode off the ball. He possesses the first step to consistently knife his way into the backfield inside and split the double-team. He does a nice job keeping his base down through contact and extending his long arms to shed blocks. He delivers a jolting punch on contact and can overwhelm linemen into the backfield as a bull-rusher. He does a nice job getting his hands inside and creating leverage for himself off the ball. He times up the snap count well and is consistently one of the first defensive linemen moving. He showcases great range when asked to play the piano down the line and make plays in pursuit. Price does a great job finding the ball off the snap, penetrating his way into the backfield and quickly closing on the ball carrier. But he does have a tendency to take himself out of run plays inside trying to get up the field.
He's consistently the aggressor and isn't a guy who can sit into his stance and anchor vs. the run game. He possesses natural power and the length to stonewall blockers and eventually disengage on contact. But his pad level will get a bit upright when he's trying to get into blocks quickly, and he can be initially jolted off the ball. He needs to do a better job protecting his legs off the snap and can be chopped down on contact. But he is so athletic that he can consistently bounce back up and fight his way toward the ball. Overall, he's a powerful, explosive interior lineman who can win with his first step and consistently cross the face of opposing linemen. Price is powerful on contact and looks like an impact defensive tackle.
Grade: 6.9

UPDATE 10/18/12 @ 11:52 a.m.
RUSSELL, Ky. (WSAZ) -- A house fire that shut down a road in Greenup County, has also claimed one life.
Family members tell WSAZ.com that Faye Mckenzie, 75, of Russell, Ky., died in fire.
The fire broke out at the home on Diederich Boulevard about 2 a.m. Thursday.
According to a release from the Russell Police Department, the home had heavy fire and smoke damage.
No foul play is suspected at this time.
Diederich Blvd. was shut down for several hours from Red Devil Lane to Verna Drive.
We have a crew at the scene.
Keep clicking on WSAZ.com for the latest information.
Fire crews were called to the scene on Diederich Boulevard about 2 Thursday morning. Dispatchers were unable to confirm if there were any injuries from the fire.
However, Diederich Boulevard from Red Devil Lane to Verna Dr. will be closed for hours, according to Greenup County 911. Those using that route to get to Russell Primary and Russell High Schools should take an alternate route.
We have a crew at the scene.

Narrow your search
All the news from the annual Google I/O event, including the latest on Android.
The iPhone 6 Plus is too big for everyone to love it, but it's Apple's best phone this year. If your budget and your pocket can make room for it, give the iPhone 6 Plus serious consideration.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 will thrill anyone who loves a fast phone with a large screen, but it's best for compulsive scribblers willing to pay a lot for its winning stylus.
The iPad Air 2 is a nice refinement and finesse of last year's model, with a bevy of tweaks, enhancements, a much faster processor, and the welcome addition of Touch ID. Simply put: it's still the gold standard for tablets.
The Cat B15Q is a thoroughly rugged phone, but archaic connectivity options and a disappointing display keep it from shining outdoors.
The Sony Xperia Z3 is Sony's most formidable to date with a formidable display and promising features that easily give Android competition from HTC, LG and Samsung a run for their money.
The iPhone 6 delivers a bigger screen while remaining easy to handle, with plenty of features to satisfy everyone -- and the promise of Apple Pay on the horizon to potentially sweeten the deal even further.
Impressive Amazon features and an outstanding display make the the Fire HDX 8.9 one of the best and most affordable media consumption tablets.
Packing the benefits of pressure cooking into a countertop oven is a pretty clever idea. Chef Puck's oven isn't perfect, and at $249 it isn't for everyone, but crafty home cooks will nonetheless appreciate its performance.
For an inexpensive tablet, the Fire HD 7 satisfies with a practical, family-friendly operating system, but those interested in a 7-inch tablet can find models with better build quality in the same price range.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 is a smooth-performing midrange slate, but it's overpriced compared to similar tablets.

Dear Sarah,
Whenever I bake bread, it never comes out right. Usually the bread comes out too dry or too flat. Can you help? --jweiser
Dear jweiser,
Here are eight steps to baking better bread. Happy baking!
1. Dissolve the yeast in 110- to 115-degree water (I always use an instant-read thermometer).
2. The bread is done when a thermometer inserted in the middle of each roll or bread reads 200 degrees F (again, I always use an instant-read thermometer).
3. Always add the flour and dry ingredients to the water (not the other way around as the recipe may state). This prevents you from adding too much flour to the water and having to fool around with a dry dough. (I do this step in a large mixer, starting with a flat paddle and switching to a dough hook after I have blended in almost 1/2 of the flour.)
When you have 1 cup of flour left, add it in 1-2 tablespoons at a time and thoroughly blend it in before deciding whether to add more flour. The dough should feel like a baby's bottom.
Depending on the weather and flour, you may end up adding in a few cups more or less flour -- do not panic. (I have a bread recipe that calls for 4 cups flour -- on one day, I only needed 3 cups; on another day, I added nearly 6 cups of flour.)
If the dough is too dry, add water a few drops at a time, and again, thoroughly mix it until you determine whether you need any more.
4. Knead the dough 8-10 times (more if not using a large mixer). You should only have a light dusting of flour on the countertop, which you may have to replenish during the kneading process.
5. Form the dough into a ball and place in a well-greased bowl -- larger than the dough. Let sit in a warm place; I put it in my laundry room, because with four kids the washer and dryer are always on. Spray the side of the plastic wrap that will eventually touch the dough, and tightly seal the bowl.
6. When deflating dough, do it gently. Do not knead again. Flatten out and then shape to the desired shape.
7. Let the bread rise loosely covered with plastic wrap. When it has reached the top of the pan or almost doubled, brush it with egg wash and sprinkle seeds on, or "slash" it.
8. Place in a very hot oven. When done, let the bread sit in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack. Let thoroughly cool on a wire rack before eating, if you can -- I never can.

STA-9090 is drug which inactivates or blocks the work of a protein called Heat Shock Protein 90 or HSP90. HSP90 is a protein that helps some molecules inside the cells have the right shape. By stopping it's activity, these molecules never get to have the right structure to be functional and they are destroyed. We believe that if we stop the activity of HSP90, the rapidly dividing cells in the tumor(s) will slow down since their proteins will not be functional without the help of HSP90.

ExxonMobil Chemical Co. (Houston; www.exxonmobile.com) says that it has started construction of a multi-billion dollar ethane cracker at its Baytown, Tex., complex and associated premium product facilities in nearby Mont Belvieu. This project, and major investments ExxonMobil has made to develop oil and natural-gas resources in the U.S., including the merger with XTO Energy, demonstrates the company's continuing commitment to American economic growth and job creation.
The steam cracker will have a capacity of up to 1.5 million ton/yr and provide ethylene feedstock for downstream chemical processing, including processing at two new 650,000-ton/yr, high-performance polyethylene (PE) lines at the company's Mont Belvieu plastics plant.
"The project is made possible in large part by abundant, affordable supplies of U.S. natural gas for energy and chemical feedstock," says Steve Pryor, president of ExxonMobil Chemical Co. The chemical industry and other industrial sectors account for nearly 30% of U.S. natural gas demand. "Shale development has provided U.S. chemical producers a double benefit as an energy source and as a key raw material to make plastics and other essential products, creating jobs and economic activity across the value chain."
The project will employ about 10,000 construction workers, create 4,000 related jobs in nearby Houston communities and add 350 permanent positions at the Baytown complex. It is expected to increase regional economic activity by roughly $870 million per year and generate more than $90 million per year in additional tax revenues for local communities.
Contracts have been awarded for construction, which will begin immediately. Contracts have been awarded to Linde Engineering North America, Inc. and Bechtel Oil, Gas, and Chemicals, Inc. to build olefins recovery units at the ExxonMobil Baytown Olefins Plant. Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding Co, Ltd. and Huertey Petrochem S.A. will construct the new olefins furnaces. At the Mont Belvieu Plastics Plant, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries will construct two 650,000 ton/yr high-performance PE lines. Jacobs Engineering, Ltd. will oversee enabling works and interconnections at both locations. Dashiell Corp. and Wood Group Mustang will provide specialty contracting services.

BlackBerry's Foxconn-made phone to cost under $200 as CEO pledges not to give up on consumers
Summary: BlackBerry's more modest smartphone plans in 2014 will see at least two devices emerge from the company.
BlackBerry isn't ready to give up on consumers just yet, revealing its new partnership with Foxconn will culminate in a touchscreen phone priced at under $200.
Recently-appointed BlackBerry CEO John Chen shared details of the upcoming Foxconn-made BlackBerry device at the CES conference in Las Vegas on Tuesday.
The manufacturing deal with Foxconn was outlined along with the release of BlackBerry's worse than expected Q3 results as part of a turnaround plan for the company, following failed efforts to recapture the high-end smartphone market now controlled by Apple and Samsung.
While the Foxconn-made touchscreen device will be aimed at consumers in Indonesia and other emerging markets, Chen also said BlackBerry will launch a higher-end smartphone with a traditional keyboard, ZDNet's sister site CNET reported.
BlackBerry's smartphone plans have been dialled down in recent months, but Chen reiterated that BlackBerry is "not retreating from the consumer business". And while the CEO admitted Samsung and its efforts around Knox "could be a threat" in the enterprise, BlackBerry isn't ready to admit defeat yet. "I love a good fight," Chen said.
Besides the Foxconn deal, BlackBerry has made number of key executive changes in the past few weeks, including dropping Alicia Keys as its chief creative officer and appointing former HTC exec Ron Louks to head up its devices business.
Chen denied BlackBerry was outsourcing its devices business to Foxconn, but noted that it would be letting Foxconn take a bigger role in emerging markets. Foxconn will take on mechanical design as well hold inventory for the devices, in addition to offering savings by utilising more standardised components, he said. However, BlackBerry's own salesforce will continue selling devices.
Chen, who has said he will stay at BlackBerry throughout its turnaround, expects the company to be financially and strategically sound within the next 18 months.

Next week I'll be traveling for work and I was a little worked up. But now I know that I will be alright.
NO home prepared meals, NO Tuesday night Spin Class, NO digital scale for my unofficial daily weigh-ins, NO electronic scale, NO measuring glass (much better than measuring spoons) and NO measuring cups...UGH!
Well, just because I'll be away from all of my little tools and gadgets does not mean that I'll be defenseless against overcoming temptations. I agree w/ the author of the article at the bottom of this blog..."each day [I] stick with [my] goals is another day closer to lifelong weight loss success. "
I can and DO have a Plan C!!! No, better yet, I have a plan D (D=DIVA)!
Listed below is what I plan to PACK and what I plan to DO to ensure that my Plan D is activated and that my little ticker will keep moving to the right...to the right....lose some weight and move to the right...to the right (My rendition of Beyonce's Irreplaceable).
To PACK::
My Migo Water Bottle--I know that the training room will be inundated w/ all kinds of snacks...anytime I'm tempted to indulge, I'll take a sip.
My DIVAs Gettin' Down Lifestyle Tracker--Just in case there are any issues with internet connection at the hotel, I can use my binder to keep track of everything that I'm doing, I can journal, and refresh myself on nutrition and fitness tips...sorta like "Manual Sparking"!!! (LOL)
My swimsuit and swim shoes--The hotel has a pool, so I can still do water aerobics every night.
My iPod and Workout Clothes--I've stepped up my weekly challenge w/ SNIKWAD so along with water aerobics, I WILL hit the treadmill and elliptical machine with great intensity. [This week's goal = 15,000+ KCAL burned).
Several packs of Trident Gum w/ Xylitol--More than likely we will be going to dinner every night, the gum will help me to resist having dessert.
~10 to 12 Glasses of Water a Day
~Go to bed early so I can do an a.m. workout in addition to a p.m. workout (also the a.m. workout will help to resist snacking during the day)
~When dining out don't be ashamed to ask for substitutions/alterations..afterall, this is my body...if I don't take care of it, who will?
~Continually remind myself that I'm only 15lbs. away from Stage 4 of Operation Janet Jackson
~When all else fails, chant to myself the mantra that I use when I'm ready to quit during an intense workout....YOU'RE AN ATHELETE! YOU'RE A DIVA! YOU'RE A QUEEN! YOU'RE AN ATHELETE! YOU'RE A DIVA! YOU'RE A QUEEN!....(repeat as needed)
Do You Have a Plan C?
By Jennifer Gruenemay, ACE-Certified, LifeScript Staff Writer
Wednesday, June 27, 2007
Plan A will not always work. Life happens, so it�s important that you have a Plan B and maybe even a Plan C when it comes to your fitness goals. So if plan A is to lose weight, be your own devil�s advocate. What are you going to do if you have a vacation coming up? Will your training suffer if you catch a nasty cold? Conjure up a list of possible goal-busting scenarios and get to work on goal-boosting solutions. If it�s the stormy winter weather that�s going to get in the way, figure out where you can exercise indoors or how you can dress appropriately for exercising in the elements. Or maybe your work schedule is changing soon and you�ll need to figure out a different time of day to fit in exercise. Don�t wait for it to happen � figure out how you�re going to make it work then, now. The more you can prepare for the inevitable chaos we call life, the better you�ll be able to adapt to the sudden changes that could otherwise take you by surprise. Always have a backup plan and never allow yourself to get bogged down by too many excuses. Yes, life is chaotic, especially, it seems, when you have weight loss goals in mind. But just remember: Each day you stick with your goals is another day closer to lifelong weight loss success.
The past few days have been very demanding and challenging, both on a professional and personal level. Typically when life begins to weigh me down, I'll pray but will still run to the comfort of food. At one point today, I was ready to fall and eat a case of Doritos and a barrel of Snickers. But I didn't instead I had a no fat pudding and 1/2 a serving of almonds.
Then after work I was so mentally drained and physically tired and had only gotten in 2 C of water when usually by the end of the workday I've had at least 6. I thought about skipping my workout and instead going to Tumbleweed's to drown myself in some con queso or even Mc Donald's to get one of everything on the menu with 3 packs of Ranch Dip to dip it all in and a large Orange Drink w/ lite ice....instead I went to Burger King and got a Whopper, Jr....with no cheese and no fries...and had 2 more cups of water. Then when I finally made it to the gym, it was too late to do my regular routine before water aerobics, I was in a bad mood...so I decided to heck w/ it I would just do a quick workout and go home...instead I took all of my frustrations out on the stairclimber, treadmill and the bike and had an awesome high intensity workout (I believe that even my ankles were sweating!!!)
So what happened that caused me to change my mind? I would like to say it was ALL will power and my sheer determination to overcome the urge to relapse...but that wouldn't be entirely true.
What helped me get thru was all of my support systems and groups. At work, God has appointed a number of Angels, who are always complimenting me or are asking for help w/ making lifestyle changes. Then on SPARK, there are three Sparkers in particular who are trying to lose over 100lbs. They have told me on numerous occasions about how much I motivate them...and it just so happens that I got messages from all of them today...right when I was struggling (one emailed me "accidently", but I believe God's Providence ordained her to message me). I just couldn't let them down. And then there are three more Angels on Spark who keep me motivated to EXCEED my daily fitness goals. And there are even more Angels at the gym that help to push and encourage me and even cheer me on when I'm kicking major butt on the stairclimber...tonight one of the guys even told me that I tore the stairclimber up and how much he admired me. Then another guy told me that I was really looking "SKINNY"...WOW!
Before I left I saw my new friend at they "Y" who I had blogged about last week. She's been traveling and has been missing her regular cardio workouts, so we made plans to meet each other tomorrow in the cardio room.
When I left the gym tonight, I found myself humming Angels by Richard Smallwood. Then I stopped to think about the lyrics...and almost got happy right there in the parking lot. Wow, God has truly appointed Angels to watch over me and in turn has entrusted me to be an Angel for someone.
"For HE will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways..." Psalm 91:11 NIV

Making lifestyle changes isn�t accomplished by forcing yourself to want it enough; it�s achieved by being honest with yourself about which stage you�re at in terms of really being ready to make a change. According to the Transtheoretical model, there are five stages of change, each of which can help you better understand your willingness, or unwillingness, to change.
In the first stage, precontemplation, individuals have absolutely no intention of changing their behavior and may not even be aware that they should be changing their behavior.
The second stage, contemplation, is when an individual understands there is a behavior that needs to change and is seriously thinking about it, but is still not committed to do anything about it.
In the third stage, preparation, individuals are ready to change and are planning out just how they will make it happen.
The fourth stage, action, is the stage in which individuals actually make changes to their behavior and begin to form new, healthier habits.
The final stage, maintenance, is the best stage to be in; these individuals have successfully made lifestyle changes and are in it for the long run. Which stage of change are you in?
The love, support and encouragement that races throughout this website is simply unbelievable. Never in my life have I "met" so many awesome and inspirational people.
I just read a blog entry from a fellow-Queen and I'm moved to tears. Although I have never met her, she so eloquently shared the struggle that so many of us are going thru on our quest to fitness and ONEderland. But what was most touching was her determination and resolve to meet her goals.
Then I've read strings where people check on one another, encourage each other and actually pray for each other online...how powerful!
When I first joined this site, I just thought this would be a neat tool to track calories and get some fitness tips, I had no idea that not only would this site make an impact on me physically, but it is helping me to grow both emotionally and spiritually.
God always sends you what you need when you need it!
I am unable to describe how I feel. Today has been like one of the best emotional days that I've had in a long time.
First of all, I pushed myself to the max today with my workout, which consisted of:
20 mins.~Elliptical
60 mins.~Step Aerobics, ACTUALLY USING THE STEP!!!
20 mins.~Recumbent Bike (did over 5 miles)
45 mins.~Water Aerobics
And although I should be passed out somewhere, I feel so good. Towards the end of step aerobics, I almost cried. Not because of the workout intensity, but because the instructor recognized me towards the end of class. In front of everyone, she told me that I was HER inspiration and she was proud of how intensely I had been working (I was the only big girl in the class, so everything they did I was determined to do it too!!!). Then later, I overheard her telling someone that she absolutely loves and admires me! WOW she admires me and yet she is the textbook example of fitness and beauty!
Second, today the Men's Ministry was selling Bar-B-Q dinners at church. As good as the ribs and pork chops were smelling, it didn't even phase me. I had my heart set on my grilled chicken that was marinating in my fridge. Wow the old Deondra would've eaten the ribs, pork chops, all the desserts and would've still eaten whatever I had at home. Perhaps, I really am changing.
Third, I got so many compliments and folks even used the word "skinny" to describe how I looked...WOW! But more precious than the compliments were the interactions that I had at church and at the gym with other folks who share in this battle against the bulge. One lady who really touched me, was a woman in water aerobics. She's new to the Y weighs almost 400 lbs. and is absolutely beautiful, but I can tell that she's self-conscious of her weight. She asked me how long had I been working on my weight~when I shared a snippet of my story, she had a look of hope on her face. She doesn't know it, but I've already placed her on my "friend" list, which means I will make it a point to say something encouraging to her every time I see her and make sure that she keeps coming to water aerobics. Lord knows, I've been where she is and how critical it is to have someone to encourage you.
It seems like all of my years of blood, sweat and tears are finally gonna pay off. I've completed the 1st two stages of OPERATION JANET, and now I'm less than 25 lbs. away from completing Stage 3. WOW! I am so driven now, that I feel completely unstoppable.
Yes, today was a good day! And the best days are yet to come!!!
