BYOC ala Drazil

1. This comes from my post yesterday about me bragging that I can still wear the same earrings I wore in high school….got me to wondering…how many piercings do you have? (the ones you can tell us about anyway – *wink wink)

I have 4...3 in one ear and 1 in the other ear. However, I only wear one in each ear. I would like to get my cartiledge pierced on the upper ear but I think I am too old for that! Same for my belly button...I love the look and I would love to get mine pierced when I hit goal but I probably won't do that either.

2. I’m asking this one because I’m getting another tattoo soon…and even have plans to get one of a lizard – my little Draz – because this blog and you all have become a major part of my life. Anywhoozle – how many tattoos do you have? If you have none and wanted to get one – what would it be?

Believe me, I NEVER had any desire to get a tattoo but after the accident that took my Dad and brother-in-law, I was compelled to get one that memorialized and honored them. This is on my lower back:



It hurt like a mutha so when my mother told me to save some skin for her tattoo when she dies I lovingly told her..."uh, I will be sending a card for now on! No more tattoos for this Chica...they hurt too much!" My daughters were so proud of me and said now I can't say anything about them getting tats! Wrongo, they don't know the old saying, "do as I say, not as I do", now do they?

3. If you’ve ever suffered from a weight-loss plateau, what’s your best advice to get past it?

Mix it up a little. Do this by either exercising more, eating more protein or eating less if thats the problem. Whatever you do, don't give up, that does not help plateaus, it must makes you gain weight!

4. This is a repeat. I liked last week’s challenge for BYOC and I saw a lot of people this week follow through on the promise they made last week. You pick one thing for just one day next week that you want to do….and mentally doing it for the one day can totally jump start more successes. And I feel like I can do anything for just one day.

I am going to keep going to the gym and working with Stacy, Jillian Michaels Evil Twin Sister! I will NEVER be the girl who loves exercise and skips into the gym but I do know that I feel great when I leave the gym even if I still can't skip to the car!

5. Repeat *make someone a Superstar* question – what's your favorite blog or comment of the week?

Although I didn't comment, Draz's post on Meds struck a very personal cord with me. I was one of those people who used to think people were weak (ex-husband in particular) who needed anti-depressants, until my own girls were in trouble and thanks to the help they received via medication and therepy, they are healthy young women today.
