Regal Tappers 1-7 August [attn MORE ladies]

**JazzyMama** · 08-01-2005, 12:21 AM

I am starting this for 1-Newbies, 2-MORE gals [specifically the More to Lose], and 3-anyone that need some encouragement to actually put the tapes in and DO them.

I have seen several post lately with ladies that are so discouraged or overwhelmed because of having a lot to lose and the physical limitations that come with it. This program works but you do have to do it. I understand the fear/apprehension. So I decided to be a cheerleader for us.

I picked the name Regal Tappers because it sounds better than Queen size, and it sounds positive. OUR MOTTO IS CUT REPS!

The first rule it that everyone has to have a POSITIVE nickname/screenname. In preemie wards they give all of the babies strong names like Hercules and Xena so that they have positive energy to get stronger and healthier. If your imagination is taxed just put Queen or Princess in front of your name. [did you see "the Ya-Ya Sisterhood"? Great nicknames]

2nd Rule-You have to say something positive about yourself in your posts-even if it is the same every time. It doesn't have to be physical, it can be "I am a good listener and my friends can count on me", but if you can say something positive it helps put a good spin on the day.

3rd-Encourage someone else by name. What goes around comes around.

4th-No one but you will know if you do this but do one nice thing for yourself a day. This does not mean treating yourself to a pint of Ben & Jerry's. Do your nails, put on some lipstick, brush your body etc.

Rule 5-(but it should probably #2)-Measurements once a week, Scales once a Month.

(((HUGS))) to all

Whew--I took Friday off to move and it seems like everything piled up overnight here at work.

First a little about the house--it's on 9.75 acres but only about 3 acres are flat--the rest is hilly to mountainous. There's a little stream running in front of it that sounds nice. It has 3 bedrooms, 2 bath, around 1600 square feet. Not big by any means but just enough for me! I see so many things I want to do with it to personalize it. The homeowners had painted everything white in anticipation of selling it so I'm kinda having sensory deprivation with no colors around! So I went shopping yesterday and bought a lot of green stuff (my favorite color!) The master bedroom and bath is gorgeous! really big and spacious. The bathroom has ceramic tile and it was extremely cold this morning, but I'll learn to like it.

Hi Michelle! Hope you and the family are doing well! [:X]

Charity--Now THAT eating sounds like my binges! I bet you so enjoyed the day with your adopted niece. I love getting out and being a kid again.

Davette--I'm so glad that your ISP is not being bad again. How's Jas?

Nance--How are you today? Phooey on that getting up at 4 or 5 am business! How's your garden?

Joan--Is the leg still acting up? Have you tried Nance's new HD method?

Brandy--How's that bootcamp going? Do you have pictures up yet? I check your blog regularly (not today though) and haven't seen them.

Lorry--How's the job going? Have you taken anymore trips to see your sister? or any trips planned anywhere for that matter? [

Hi Regals!

Davette, it is so good to have you back! WOOHOO!

Juanita, your place sounds WONDERFUL! My garden is doing good and I don't mind the early mornings usually. Slept in until almsot 6 this morning though! LOL!

Charity, my daughter has my DVD set that has the hitchhikers on it. Told her we need to get her her very own set so Mom can have HERS back.

Vonnie, hope you are doing okay with the leg and the BC? Miss you.

Happy Birthday, Joan! Love you!

I did 3 PRB's, regular Plies and brushed this morning before going to town. That sure helps get me ready for handling groceries. On my third 24 ounce bottle of water too. Going to do HD's as soon as I get off here. I can feel an improvement here if I stay at this level and don't get careless again.

Happy Tapping!
Nance

Hi Regals,

I struggled and got through SATI with PBS first. Unfortunately, I was doing my workout after 5 this afternoon and I was too ready to not do it.

Juanita, your house sounds yummy!! When am I invited for a retreat weekend? All of that land....... Glad you like your house and enjoyed being in it.

Joan, is today your birthday? If so, happy birthday from me, too.

Nance, the hitchhikers and butterflies are really helping me. I don't help nearly as much at night when I'm in bed. But there are other things hurting these days and that is another story.

Good morning all.

I missed Joan's birthday??

[xx(]

I hate missing birthdays--they're just so special. I always say that's when the world changed--when someone was born. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOAN!

How is everyone today?

Molly--where are you? How are the classes?
Linda--Please post! I try to keep up with you in your blog.
Andrea--Where are you?
Charlotte--You too! How's the leg?
Natalie--Haven't forgotten you!
Kat--Post if you're lurking!

Brandy--How's the b/c??
Davette--Good to see you again!
Nance--Wow, you're still getting in some good T-Tapp moves so know that even doing all that will benefit you greatly.
Charity--You are invited anytime you want to come! Field trip!

Well, work calls.

HI Sweet Regals,
Yes, yesterday was my 53rd birthday, and I got 4 bouquets of flowers, tons of b'day cards, and phone calls, it was wonderful. NOw a lot of people don't like having b'day's I love b'day, and I tend to celebrate the entire month[8D][8D][8D][8D]
We had dinner here last night, cause Bob's oldest son's wife today the 2nd, is her b'day, so we celebrate together, and she loves red beans and rice, so that was her special dish, and I wasn't sure if Bob's youngest son, who btw will be 49 this October, and has never been married, I digress,[:I][:I][:I]anyway wasn't sure son #3 like red beans and rice so I made lasagna also, and since I didn't want to have a cake in the house I made a fruit pizza, which everyone loved. So we had a wonderful evening, and my best friend that lives here in Louisville, she was able to come and have dinner with us as well.

Bob (my hubby) and I have a consultation with the Vascular surgeon on August 30th. Couldn't get one any earlier, and my legs today have been killing me with pain.

Wishing everyone a great evening.

xoxoxoxo,
Joan
