    The instructor called my friends sister to tell her we never showed up, she then told her what happened. She said "omigod, that was them? I something going on and how rude they were being treated but didn't know who it was or what was going on. If I had known I wold have run over and told them they were with me." Heads will be rollin'. LOL

    My friends sister is the one who told us to go there, because she used to go there before she became an instructor herself and she knows the instructor of the class that we were going to. So of course my friend called her sister as soon as we left, she was extremely pisssed.

    Oh man that bums me out. Maybe you were being "punked" ~ did you see Ashton Kutcher anywhere? ;) Too bad you aren't in Georgia ~ you could come over with your peeps for a Zumba dance party in my basement!

    The verdict is that the gym was most aweful place I have ever dealt with and we walked out before the class even started. They were completely rude from the second we walked in.

    It would take too long to explain all the dirty details but I'll just say at one point we looked at each other and were like "what the hell is going on here?". Seriously, we felt like we were on candid camera or something.

    So we are going to find another gym that has Zumba. We were so disapointed!

    Hey girl! I am so in love with Zumba that I am getting certified on July 26th so I can teach it myself. Apparently just taking the class 3-4 times a week isn't enough for me. ;) Have a great time and I'll be curious to know your thoughts......

    You guys are so right, and thank you for reminding me how important "like attracts like" really is. It's funny because I had come across this about a year ago, a different author but same theory. And I've been wanting to incorporate that in my life, but of course have been to unorganized with life. Time to get going on it.

    Here's a verse that really means alot to my thought life. :)


    Philippians 4

    Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

    I know nothing of Reiki, but long before I ever heard of the book The Secret, I was living a life of "like attracts like"...

    I used to be EXACTLY the way you described yourself and your husband, and honestly, sweet lady, I STILL struggle with disorganization, feelings of doom, and fearing I have a major disease.

    However, when the painful and negative thoughts begin to seep into my mind, I find I can willfully choose a DIFFERENT thought path...

    Hygeia, That's great your taking steps to change what you feel is wrong. I'm reading a book called "The Secret". It's about how "like attracts like, so as you think a thought, you are also attracting like thoughts". Keep eating those cleansing foods, and thinking those cleansing thoughts!

    Thank you both of you. As you can tell I had be "poor me" morning wich is not going to change things. I suppose I just needed to get it out and now I'm feeling much better.....between your comments and catching up on the "before and after" section.

    I have received definate motivation today.

    Been there. And I can tell you what my problem was. I was unable to fix any of those issues until I started telling myself that I was worth it. Squash every negative thought, with a positive one. Not I will, or I'm going to, but, I AM. I AM A BEAUTIFUL PERSON. I AM WORTH IT. You will truly start to believe it. And by the way, you are worth it.

    I think the first thing you need to do is remove words like huge, fat, and ugly from your vocab! It's not okay to speak to anyone like that, including yourself. Now....If you need to spend the day crying...go ahead. Sometimes we need a good cry-get it out-flush the system. Then wake up Thursday morning and begin a new day, a new chapter!

    April is my 1 year anniversary for embarking on my raw LIFEstyle. I will be doing the MC for several reasons... b/c of the auto accident - I've been on heavy medication and I want to cleanse that out of my system, also - I need to concentrate on some intense healing for my spine, and I want my body to beable to focus on this rather than digesting foods.... I will be jumpin in on the MC thread starrting April 1st -- if you want to join me... I'd be happy to help you as much as I can... ;)

    Great advice from Lisser!!! Yep... its a LIFE LONG journey ... and we won't accomplish it in 30 days or even 1 year.... it's a journey for the rest of our lives! So - we take it one day at a time.... Now - as far as the SWF -- that didn't work for me -- I drank a 'get regular tea' in the evening, along with taking an herb called Cascara Sagrada (non habit forming) it moves your bowels by encouraging the peristaltic action of the colon.
