Well I just went outside on my side deck and took some pictures, I love outside!! My hubby made me this little watering can fountain, because I wanted a water feature up on the deck, so I had something nice to listen to besides birds all the time. LOL LOL ENJOY!

Very nice! It looks like you live out in the country a bit--or at least have a large lot.

Now you've got me wanting to go to Mackinac Island! haha. That Bayview B&B would sell for about $2million turnkey. So did Tori and Dean buy their inn turnkey, or did they start it up from scratch? Also, where is it located, and do they charge outrageous rates b/c they are famous? Do they really run it themselves, or do they have a ton of staff? Sorry for all the questions, just curious.
 
Tori and Deans Inn is located somewhere in Southern California, out in some stick town, I think it's called Springdale or something like that. They are Leasing it with the option to buy,they got it from another lady that ran it as a B&B,but they up dated it and made it MODERN, it's cute!! They are always packed and from what I can tell they charge average rates for a B&B in that area, they don't advertise as if it's all about the celebrity, but they only have 4 rooms I think, which is a little small. The sometimes stay out on their lot in this Mobile home that is decent, if they need extra space in the B&B,but they run it themselves and just recently they have hired help with security and housekeeping I think, but pretty much it shows them cooking, cleaning and serving guests. But of course they have to leave every now and again for business meetings, auditions and what not and they have several friends that step in and take over while they are gone for a few days. They always mention in the show that they are just breaking even but not making any money now and they are packed every day. So, not sure what it will take to make the money for them. I think it cost them more because they are celebrity's and they have to pay extra for security and all the upgrades they did cost them a fortune!! Plus they had this big bque at the Inn for all the locals and really spent a lot of money on that with pony rides, little petting zoo and other stuff, it was insane. But they wanted everyone there to know they are normal people just like everyone else. It's a really cool show!

That is interesting. I think the fact that they only have 4 rooms and spent all that money on renovating and the bbq is why they are only breaking even. If they are always busy, they shouldn't hve any trouble making money. I'll have to start watching that.
 
I agree 100%, I remember watching Tori on 90210 growing up, so that's why I decided to watch Tori & Dean one night, and I've been hooked ever since. What really grabs me is she's a little dingy sometimes, but all in all she's funny as hell and her hubby who is a doll face, just loves her to pieces and it shows. They are not typical glam people who hang out at parties they are family people and it's really nice to see. I crack up every time I watch it. I also DVR it so I can skip through those damn commercials. HATE THOSE SUCKERS! LOL

I never watched 90210, but I watched a lot of SNL impersonations of her..lol. I will try to watch it. there is a b&b for sale on mackinac island for $2.2million.
I've actually stayed at this one. It's no fancy at all, but neat and clean.
 
Hey there Kim!!
Sounds like you had a nice and relaxing weekend.
Mine was wonderful! Only had to work on Friday instead of the whole weekend. So even though I was busy going and doing it was still relaxing 'cuz I wasn't at work!
Your back deck looks beautiful and I love that you have such a huge yard.
Can't wait to see what your next measurement/weigh-in results are.
Well I better be going as it is getting late and I really need to go to bed at a decent time for once!
Keep up all the hard work.
 
Good Week!

Oh my gosh, I can't be more thrilled after I did my weigh in today and my measurements as well. I don't know if I should cry or laugh. I've worked so damn hard for so long and what did I get PLATEAU'S VILLE! well, not this morning, I told you all I was going to bust the weight this past week, and by golly I did just that, I lost 2lbs last week. YEAH!! WOO-HOO Friggen finally is all I have to say. And.... the biggest surprise of all I've dropped another 1 1/2 inches off my waistline. OH MY GOSH!! :D I also went shopping yesterday and bought some new sweet looking bra's and panties. YEAH my bras were no longer holding up the boulders, so I had to go down another size in those too, and well I'm just thrilled, I'm now a 36 and actually I had to put it on the second notch in as well, to make it snug. This is what blows my mind, back sometime in the first week of September I went to the gym and had did an assessment on myself with a trainer, he took every conceivable measurement off my body he could, YUK! Actually had my blood pressure go up, I HATE being weighed by myself, let alone a complete STUD in his 20's ;) And then when he measured my waist he said it was a 37 1/2, this morning when I measured it was 33 1/2, I've lost an incredible 4 inches off my waist in the last 4 weeks, and you know what???? I chalk that up to using that DAMN AB ROLLER every night since then. It has got to be that, because I've been doing my normal workouts and the only thing I've change this month is weight training and AB ROLLING, so it's got to be working, but you would think that if I lost 4 inches from my waist that maybe I would have lost more than just 3 pounds this month right?? How can that be possible?? Oh my hips have only gone down about 1 inch so I'm still wearing my same pants they just hang on my hips now, I want those damn things to fall to the ground so I can get out there and buy some new CLOTHES! My clothes are so old I swear, they already have gone out of style and back in style again. LOL LOL LMAO!! On some I'm really not kidding about that statement, how sad is that?? I'm going to bust ass again this week, I'm going to lose another 1-2 pounds and I'm going to work that ab roller like there is no tomorrow, and actually it's up another 5 more this week, I've up the count by 5 every week since I started using it, and ummmm it's still hard. :p Well, wish me luck, because I'm going to need it. But, I want it so bad I just can't wait!! Everyone enjoy your day, I'll check diary's as I can. CHOW!

I started out by doing 15 for the first week, then on the 2nd week I up to 20,then 25 and now 30 UGGG, which is going to be very hard, and I'll probably have to take a few minutes between each set of 10. Before I could just do 20 non stop, not without shaking, but I didn't have to stop for a minute to rest, I think I will need that now. There are several different kinds of ab rollers, what kind do you have?

I'm currently sitting at 40 hips, 33 waist, 36 chest I'm pretty sure that's it give or take a 1/4. I wish I could pump my ass up a little I was cracking up in your diary about having a plump booty and well mine isn't flat, but it's not a nice round plump either, damn white booty!! LOL LOL I'll just have to keep at those squats I guess. Tonight It's group groove!! and I'll do the curcuit training before hand, then AB roller tonight I'm now up to 30 and it's harder then a MO FO! but, I'll do it kicking and screeming all the way. :eek::argue: What blows my mind about my waist size is I remember when I was 19 I had a size 28 waist, LOL LOL I don't think that is every going to happen again in my lifetime, but I would like to get to a nice steady 30 that would be pretty decent on my frame now. I have hips and honestly I like that. :rotflmao:
 
Girl you are kicking ass with that ab roller!! Your waist is shrinking down to nothing!! Pretty soon you'll be asking Sheryl about where to buy a corset..lol.

Congrats on the 2lb loss!! Woohoo! You blasted through that plateau. I think I'm gonna have to start using my gym's ab roller..lol. Nice job!:beerchug:
 
Thanks Kimberly!! When my hubby first told me to start using the Ab roller that it would work and faster than do regular crunches every night, I told him YEAH right!! you just want to see me make a fool of myself. LOL LOL He was so right, but I'm sure my circuit training at the gym a few nights a week and the change in my "food portions" probably had some to do with it also. What I mean about the food is I'm trying my best to measure out certain stuff, to maybe a cup of this and a cup of that, I think I may have been eating portions a little larger than I should have. I also stopped eating my dinner after the gym nights which was ending up around 8ish, and well we all know that's a big NO-NO. :eek: But shit, if I work out in town 4 nights a week, and my at least 2 of those nights my last class ends at 7:30 it's hard to get home before 8, I just live to far out of town. So, I've just tried eating something small those nights but still filling. Last Night I had Group Groove and circuit training and of course I'm now on 30 Ab rolls, so that was hard and I really had to talk myself into doing them last night because I was already tired from my earlier workout. Tonight, I'm getting my hair cut off! :) Okay, not all of it, but at least 2-3 inches from the bottom, then I'm putting a lot of layers in it, give it some bounce again, AHHHHHH I haven't had this mop cut in months, probably 9-10 months to be exact. Really, I just never have time, or when I do have the time, my hair dresser is never available, so it's been hit and miss for quite some time. I want to put some highlights in it again, but I'm not sure if that style is in anymore, or if all over color is the way to go now?? Does anybody out there know??? My hair is naturally light brown, with some gold/red tones. I used to wear a lot of blonde in it at one time, and most people say they like it lighter, but shit it cost a fortune and I have to do it so often I get tired of the up keep, but I really need a lift so I might do something drastic who knows. If any of you have any suggestions, you know I'm always up for something. hint, hint. LOL LOL well, I better get to work and fast I have so much to get done. Later Babes!

Shit.... the last time I had a size 28" waist was when I was in kindergarten, I think. LMAO! jk You're doing fantastic, you shrinking doll you. :D


As for your hair, I love seeing women with layers... it just gives it a nice natural bounce. (How very Charlie's Angels of you, Kim.. haha HOT) I've been wanting to do something with my hair also. I've had bum length dark straight hair for ummmmm.... almost all of my fricking life. (Mainly for dancing tahitian/ hula) I'm thinking about getting it "did" and throwing in some layers. As for the highlights... hmmm.... if it'll make your eyes and face pop, I say do it. I personally think it'll look nice during the fall and you have great eyes for it. :) Wishing you a great day, girly. :hug2:

4" off the waist is awesome!! You are doing so wonderful. You keep it up and you''ll be staring your goal in the face in know time!! Have wonderful day!!:hug2:
 
Hell yeah!

VBF!!!
