March 27, 2007 / by whereabouts








I'm all icky because I am doing yard work and I am most definitely out of shape - too much in the middle with the winter buldge, yuck - but I thought this was cute! I realized I was wearing similar clothes to the avatar I created last night and asked my son to take a pic (sorry, camera phone, way poor quality).

Anyway, I thought it was a close resemblance!

OMG! I pulled this post from last year of me and Reilly and I am disgusted in myself! See below.



That is my summer body, the ones above are from today. Okay, that is enough of a motivator for me. It's time for me to get to work and get off my lazy arse! I'm serious. I'm hitting the activities. I'll take another pic in three weeks and we will see what has changed.

Oh, my gosh. I truly am feeling icky. I have been terribly lazy. Well, I've haven't had much energy.... Okay, enough. I'm motivated!


3.37.08 1:24 PM - Additional thoughts....

This reality attack (above photo comparisons) provided me with a bit of an insight to the psychology behind individuals who don't see the truth in any given situation. When I created that avatar, I really thought I looked similar (body) even though I knew I needed to tone up. BUT, when I saw for REAL - sheesh! - I knew I was just kidding myself all along. I now can see how people choose to see what they want to see rather than what is really there. I also can see how you hold on to more of what you were at one time rather than what you are currently and where you are at currently. This doesn't just apply to the physical side of things. In fact, I think it applies more to the mental side of things such as those who are in dead realionships and cannot let go because they are holding on to what once was. Or those who fall in love for what they want it to be rather than what it really is.

Hmmmmm....

  • benedicts said 1 years ago
    Coincidence? Herr Meister K. G. Jung would not agree. But then, he did not own a spotted dog. (And if that makes sense, I must have done something wrong.)
  • whereabouts said 1 years ago
    [LOL][LOL] No coincidence but I am sure glad I made this post today. I motivated myself! (see added pic)
  • benedicts said 1 years ago
    The crease along the belly line in the new pic reminds me of one of my most hurtful moments. I was posing for the swimsuit edition and my grandson -- who was the photog -- said, "Hold in your belly Grandad." But I already was. Nice pics.
  • whereabouts said 1 years ago
    the creases in the belly.. LOLOL..you are sooo funny! [LOL][LOL]

  • yaoling said 1 years ago
    Thats a great comparison!! you and your pup look alot like the avatar! Perhaps I should make yao a cartoon of himself to use as an avatar, but I'm not very creative. you are in great shape now AND with your summer body. I think alot of us wish we were ever in that good of shape.
  • whereabouts said 1 years ago
    Well, thank you! [HEART] I still need to get active but I'm about to edit the text here because a thought occurred to me about this...[WINK]
  • blog said 1 years ago

  • whereabouts said 1 years ago

  • ayesart said 1 years ago
    Cameras have a way, don't they?
    You are too severe on yourself...
    Don't be. Well, now I don't know about you getting this comment.
    When I depress Post Comm. I get a data base error...
  • whereabouts said 1 years ago
    Got it! I to was getting that error...I thought blogster was doing some kind of server update or something like that. Anyway...

    Thanks but sometimes I need to be hard on myself...it makes me feel better when the results start to appear! [THUMBUP][HEART][THUMBUP]

    It is good to see you again. We've all missed you![HEART][SMILE]
  • robertg said 1 years ago
    Know what? I get icky everyday. Workin' on 30+ acres of trees and stuff makes it easy to get that way. Winter add-on is a fact of life - but one must feel good about one's self in order to keep sane. Me, I'm lucky - workin' outdoors all day helps me get down to my lovin' frame. [LOL] You still look - MAAAHVELOUS!
  • greeneyedgemini said 1 years ago
    30+ acres!!! Jeeze I whine over my 4 little ones[LOL][BLUSH]

    Not really.... Only when the Rider dies - [SAD]
  • whereabouts said 1 years ago

  • whereabouts said 1 years ago

  • southwesterngrad said 1 years ago
    I would be thrilled just to look like the first photo. I had back surgery a year ago last November. Was unable to be active or since. I have packed on thirty pounds that HAVE TO GO![OHMY][OHMY]
  • whereabouts said 1 years ago
    Just a tip for I hear you. If have found that simply by creating activity in my mind, the pounds begin to come off. The mind is a very power organ - use it to its full potential. AS soon as your mind "knows" where you are going, that is the only momentum you need to get you there. From that point forward, it is a coast.

    Good luck! [THUMBUP][HEART][HEART][THUMBUP]
  • southwesterngrad said 1 years ago
    Thanks for the tip! I will definitely give it a try. I used my mind to attack my cancer cells and that worked, so this surely will do![THUMBUP]
  • whereabouts said 1 years ago
    I just saw your last reply here. It gave me chills. You rock, girlie! [THUMBUP][HEART][THUMBUP]
  • southwesterngrad said 1 years ago
