Hi Everyone!  Things have been sooo crazy around here lately..my goodness gracious.  There are no excuses, though.  I need to be on Buddyslim more.  It helps my morale :)  And I miss chatting with all you lovelies

 Anyway, I’ve noticed that we have a strong prayer community on here and I just wanted to take a moment to share our current worry with you all.  Perhaps you can all say a little prayer.

My brother was rushed to the hospital yesterday from fainting spells at work.  The doctors aren’t sure what it is yet, but it could possibly be a slight heart attack or blood clots.  He has a heart monitor on right now, and they did a lot of blood tests to see the problem.  Please pray for him.  He’s only 18!  He has had a heart condition resulting in Angina for a while, so his heart is already weak.  Also, recently he has contracted lymes disease, which isn’t helping the situation.  He’s so young, and I love him so much.  He needs all the prayer he can get!

 Thank you!

Wellll everyone, hi! As most of you know, I’ve been married for over a year.  We had a small wedding (with only immediate family) and didnt’ really have a reception.  So NOW…FINALLY…we’re planning a wedding reception.

 AND I WANT TO LOOK HOT FOR IT!

So this is my new motivation.  Hope it works :)  I’m going to go do some abs exercises with a friend today.

Love you all!

Alright, so I know in the past I have posted some weight loss tips.  Some have been helpful, others not-so-helpful.  But TODAY, I have a weight loss tip that I bet NONE of you have ever heard before.  Wanna hear it?

Alright…here it is…

Yesterday I was biking with my father-in-law on his birthday.  My hands were getting sore, so he let me use his biking gloves half way through.  When we got back, his birthday party was already set up (finger food and all), so we started socializing (before washing our hands or changing).  What I found funny is that I didn’t want to eat ANY of the finger food!  I was just thinking the fact that I had just been wearing someone else’s sweaty biking gloves! :D  Tee hee. 

So that’s the tip.  Get your hands dirty before you go to a party…and don’t wash them.

WOO HOO!  That’s all for me today, folks!  Have a wonderful Monday!

OK, buddies!  My teeth (or lack of) are slowly healing and I’m ready to get back on the weight loss bandwagon!  Yesterday, my husband and I went to Scheels Sporting Goods and bought some goodies.  I got a new work-out tank top and some biking gloves.  Yes!  I’m ready to get going!

Who’s with me?!

Ready…

Set…

GO!

Hello Buddyland!  I hope everyone is doing well today :).  I’m on day 4 of eating nothing but mushy stuff.  I tell ya - it’s going to take an army to stop me from eating a cheeseburger when this whole ordeal is over!

Anyway, I just thought I would check in quick. 

I read somewhere in a magazine that wearing 8 jelly bracelets a day can help you lose weight.  How?  You begin the day with all 8 of them on one arm.  Then, each time you drink a glass of water, you switch one of the bracelets over to your other arm.  Once all of the bracelets are moved to your other arm, you’ve had your quota of water for the day!  It’s fun, easy, cheap, and COOL!

Haha.

 Have a great day buddies!

Hey buddies, I haven’t written in a while, so I decided to write a blog today.  If it sounds funny it’s because I’m on a heavyyyy dose of Vicodin and am not really myself lol.

I got my wisdom teeth pulled yesterday Morning.  YUCKY.  It was a pretty weird experience.  After coming out of the Anesthesia I vomited twice, told my nurse that I liked her necklace, exclaimed several times that “Jesus is Lord!”, said “Jabba the Hut” and “Duke Sywalker” repeatedly, told my friend that she needed to feed my fish over and over and over again, talked about the nice tree and the bunny on the roof, and several other things.

My friend got a video of some of it, which I’ll probably put online so you all can see it.

But I gotta tell ya…getting your wisdom teeth pulled is an EXELLENT way to lose weight.  I’m so hungry right now but I pretty much vomited anything of substance in my belly and can only eat applesauce now.  The vicodin makes me really sick so I can’t really eat much of that either.

And I’m high as a kite!  I’ve never done drugs of any kind, so this is a new trip for me.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

 Um I didn’t blog on Saturday or Sunday becuase I was busy biking/camping.  My friend and I biked 40 miles to our destination and 40 miles back.  It was a ton of fun and a lot of adventure.  We couldn’t find a camping spot so we had to camp illegally (woopsies!) at a boat landing.  It was fine but we were visited by a deer during the night (which scared the crap out of us).  But I have a waaaay cool (as in not-so-cool) tan!  Haha…

 Anyway I’m going back to sleep now.  And I have to stop drooling.

Love you, buddies!  Can’t wait to be back to normal again!

Buddies!  I’m baack!  And I’m so happy about it!

 How was your week?  Tell me all about it! 

 Well, I was thinking about what to blog today.  There were things that came to mind, of course, like motivational stories, kick-in-the-face challenges, etc., but then I decided to write about…perfume.  Why perfume?  Because it smells good!  It makes us feel good about ourselves!  It makes other people notice!

Buddies…I want you to live your life like you’re wearing the best perfume in the world!  I want you to walk with a confidence that says, “Oh yeah.  I look good.  I smell good.  I feel great!”  Think about all of the effort you’re putting into losing weight.  You’re working hard!  So even if you’re coming home from the gym, and you smell like sweat and tears, strut your stuff with confidence, because you’re wearing perfume from the inside out!

Get that bottle out.  Spray it all around the room.  Spread your spunky, positive, kind, fun, confident attitude to everyone around you.

And have a great day!

~Sarah Jade

AH, Buddies!  This has not been the best week of my life so far.  Waking up at 4:30, going to work, being WITHOUT you all, drinking coffee to stay awake, being puffy because of the coffee, falling asleep during training, getting in trouble for falling asleep during training, trying to eat healthy but not succeeding.  Yep…this week is madness!

Oh well

Anyway…how are you all?  How is your week going?  I don’t have enough time to read your blogs, so I can’t keep tabs on you :(  I hope you’re all staying strong (unlike me this week)!  Thank you ALL for your wonderful comments on yesterday’s blog.  Did you get your happy pants???

Have a great day!!

~Sarah Jade

Hey Buddies!  How is everything going in Buddyslim land today?  I’m DYING to read all of your blogs and check up on you all…but alas, the “J” word gets in the way!

Anyway, today on my lunch break I decided to go shopping at a thrift store.  There, I found the coolest pair of pants ever!  They were full of spunk, life, and most importantly, HOLES!  Unfortunately, they were way too small, so I decided not to get them.

Then I started to think…

I SHOULD GET THEM!

So after work I’m going back to the thrift store to buy my Happy Pants!  That way, when I reach my goal, I’ll have a nice little treat waiting at the end of the finish line for me.

Alright…off you go.  Find YOUR pair of happy pants!

~Sarah Jade

Hey all you readers and buddies!

Hope you’re having a great day.  My routine is going to be all messed up for a while since I had to come into the work office for training (I usually work from home and am free to Buddyslim all day).  Anyway, I’m so sorry, but for about 4 days I won’t be able to read all of your blogs, comment, or be my normal self.  But don’t worry…on Friday I’ll be back with a vengeance!

I’ll try to blog every day.  It’s important to me!

So…

Talk to you soon!  I’ll try to get to as many people as I can in my 10-minute break. 

Stay strong!  Remember…never ever ever ever ever ever EVER EVER EVER give up!
