I got a very neat surprise today..& one I wouldn't have expected in a million yrs!
I've had a kinda rough week.. ( hence the blog filler tests.. ;) when I'm in a down mood I don't feel I should be laying it on you all... & really it's all pretty mundane stuff- nothing I can change or ask for advise about ..just get thru.
Any who I was thinking earlier that I was having a pretty good day & I should write SOMETHING.. but really what the heck is in my life of any excitement?? I mean I'm not talented enough to write thought provoking stuff like K.. & I'm not in the thro's of new Love like Jess & Bev.. I'm not going anywhere interesting having great amazing #s in my workouts like most of you , my kids are doing fine.. & Frankly I could never top Tracey for pure shock value ! I could go on & on listing all the interesting things going on in everyones world... some difficult & heart wrenching..christie I hope u find your answers..& Kim I hope she finds her peace.Some are exciting like Kana & casey & the others that are Melting away.. it's really contagieous excitement ...or The ongoing saga of Dub, Suzanne & the cross continental love story they 've let us be part of!
On & on the list goes...really , I said it before ..I keep closer tabs on you all than some members of my family! & when I wanna share stuff with you ..I don't wanna bore you to tears...
I was racking my brain trying to come up with something happy & uplifting to share since I was in a good mood...but nothing was quite "it" ...
So I decided once I got to work I'd pop into Tracker...see how the world was around there.. I now I don;t spend half the time there that I used to... between Life & checking blogs I just don't have as much time!
For whatever reason ..I decided to wander into the top 20 list.. don't usually go looking there, mostly just cruise the forums & check out the newest profiles & changes....
Well to my shock..( & I do mean shock ..I yelled WHAT??? right here in the nursing office...oops! ;)
MY NAME IS ON THE LIST!!!!
I have NO idea how it got there... I really don't get it... I can see the others that are doing really well...or those that have had obvious great Challenges...& now that I think of it ...most of you ,are or have been on there..which is very cool I realy am excited to see my "blends" getting the recognition they deserve!!
But never did I expect to see myself there!!!
Even last yr at my best I was "ok" but nothing "WOW" I gotta vote on that...
& NOW...akkkkk all I have to look at this year is post X-mas "I know where all the Goodies went" blobby Girl!!
So I just wanted to share this bit of very NEAT news!! & I've spent the rest of my free time tonight "paying if forward" in the beginners section..& sending PM's .... something I've gotten away from in between being busy & feeling kinda down..
I still have NO idea who or how...but I'm really thrilled mostly that it reminded me to keep on pushing & striving to be better..& to really put into practice Bill's idea of reciprocity!! Giving back...one of the things that makes me truly HAPPY!!
Hmmm maybe that's fate having a hand in things... who knows eh?
Have a great week end all!

Fate / Karma / Energies of the World - I truly believe they all go hand in hand!
whoops - I was supposed to write CONGRATULATIONS! ;-)
O.k, I feel like a moron, because I have NEVER (until now) seen your stuff on tracker. I am hiding under a rock..so excuse me!!). HOLY SHIT!!! Um...no wonder you are in the Top 20. YOUR RESULTS ARE AMAZING!! Girl...you are a total HOTTIE...and looking at your numbers from previous challenges, and the current one; well, YOU SHOULD BE VERY PROUD!!!!!! I am proud of you. You are doing awesome..Keep it up!! Try not to compare yourself to others. Everyone is different at far as weight loss, etc. I have lost more weight than usual because 1) I am HUGE compared to you (I don't mean that to sound like I am talking bad..but you are so slender!), and I ate REALLY REALLY crappy for the entire month of December. A little too much celebrating!! I have more to lose than you... Do you understand what I am trying to say. I hope this doesn't come off like I know it all....THAT IS NOT IT!1
Girl...Keep on kicking ass.....YOU LOOK AMAZING!!
What a great post Pam!!!! As far as being in the top 20, it really is no surprise once you think about it. Look through ALL the profiles and you're definately one of the most attractive women there. Don't wanna sound all musch & gushy but really, you would definately stand out. So, no, its no surprise silly goose. And as for my shock value, its been waning a bit - I'm sort of a blah muddle puddle. Hope its PMS because I'm in a mood let me tell you - bitch & hungry.
Congratulations on the top 20, been long overdue. Think I'll refer to you now as Ms. Canada!!!!!!
Thanks all--really I wasn't cruising for compliments..( I really suck at taking them well-- ask Jamie! ~lol.) Just was sooo thrilled & wanted to share with all my fabulous Blends!
.Kana..Glad you know who I am now ..least you can put a face to a "voice" now .. right ? ;)
You're awesome girl ..thanks you so much for your kind words..you really have a a special spirit & so much joy that seems to come thru !
Dub... calling me weird is the bestest thing you've ever said to me!!! awwwww...
* * wipes tears from eyes!**
I think we should get together all 4 of us when you make your way up here.. I think it would be a FUN outing! the Verbal repartee alone would be amazing! ;)
& Tracey.. thank you ..comming form you that really means a lot.. honestly..
Ms Cananda? Hah darlin!!!-- now THAT honor would go to you girl...You're the one that is STAGE worthy!!! me -I aspire to get down anywhere NEAR where you are!
...or Teresa..or Stef.. or.. so there! :P
Whenever I get around to checking blogs, I'm always drawn back to yours. Don't be so hard on yourself, you're very interesting in your own ways. I kind of know how you feel, in my life now, the only thing that really seems to be going on is my son, but that is just fine.
Congrats on making it to the top 20. I'm planning to start tomorrow, so hopefully I can make it there too.
I'm glad that you were taken by such surprise..but you know, you deserve it. It's not just about who looks best, but who has made great overall improvement! And simply put, you look the BEST that we have ever seen you! Enjoy the moment..it's yours for the taking!
You go girl! Now to me, top 20 is a place that i would take someone thinking abot doing BFL to show them a good cross section of people who have had great sucess doing BFL, and YOU, babe are definetly one of those people! I've had 2 very short-lived rises to the top, and it does feel good to have somebody notice, huh?
CONGRATS!!!!!!
You most definitely deserved it! You earned it.
