[Boss Man]

You deserve to be married to someone that will make you feel special all the time, because you are such a wonderful human being .

I hope it all works out for you I really do .

After a long journey of ups and downs I realized I’m ready and he is the one!
The one who can take care of me when I’m stress, down, depress, or very bitchy and he still tells me how beautiful I am even if I gain lots of weight and get lots of pimple. So, I’m happy I can have a partner that lend me a shoulder when I’m need it and carry me up when I’m about to fall. I’m grateful that I can share my sadness and happiness with my him

That's what is all about Nokie. I am glad you have found "the one". Marriage is a beautiful thing when it is shared by two people who respect, admire, love and support the other, even (like you said) when we are stressed, are having a bad hair day, when we are sick, and when we are goofy and they still laugh at our jokes! A partner in life, through thick and thin, someone who has your back, who supports you, even if they don't always understand what it is, or why it is you do what you do.
I am so happy for you girl!! And he is one lucky man!

Just caught up with your posts, congrats on the engagement!!!! AHHH! Weddings are so exciting!!!!!!

[Nokie173]

Awww... Thanks everybody for your wonderful words it means a lot to share my happiness with you guys/gals.

You should help do the planning too Nokie! It looks like so much fun. The dress and the cake design are the most fun things I think to plan and where you are going to have it! The expense part not so much fun! But your an accountant what can you say.

If it was up to me to plan the wedding, I would just go to City Hall, sign the paper and have dinner with family and close friends. Then hop on the plan and travel to Europe and Asia for our honeymoon!!!

But since I’m a very “understanding” person I’m willing to compromise as he wants this “fantasy” wedding that’s totally out of our budget …. So, we will work together and have a decent wedding. Of course I give my opinions on things like, the colors and what kind of cakes and etc… but having to plan stuff... I’ll leave it to him as long as he reports the $$$ to mama!!!

I just read your post about the Opera - I'm with you - and I loved Wicked!!!! We go to New York every year and see something on Broadway, this year it was Wicked...saw South Pacific last year...there is no place like NYC- really great! But what a sweet guy - he's a keeper.

Where's your posts? No more food journal? I promise to start reading more....I have to stop in with this race to 160 going on!

Hope all is well with you Nokie! I know you work too hard and have been known to be too hard on yourself - and you take care of EVERYONE! You are truly a wonderful caring person who I am honored to have met

Hello, how are you all doing?

I am debating whether I should start writing my diet and workout again… or just post questions here and there. Writing it down does help but same time… I can get lazy.

My weight did go up a bit but the inches are getting smaller… muscle you think?

I need help to get in better shape than ever. Why? … I have a wedding dress to look good in… LOL… Every morning, I have a picture of a random girl wearing a random wedding dress (Because I dunno what dress I want yet) … I post it by my alarm and every time I snooze @ 5AM ... I see that pix… BAM I’m up doing some workout.

My main problem and have always been my diet…. Sigh… I really try to have self control but every time I see rice… I want those damn simple carbs!!!

I had a bad few weeks with my diet, I will not lie… After losing my father-in-law to be to cancer… We just had a feast of junk food while dealing with the funeral and all. Now thinking back… ugh… I feel disgusted and sluggish… I really have to give myself a reality check here and there and remember I can avoid being ill if I take better care of myself now…

So, can say… I’m back? I really need help with my short term goal for the wedding.
Same time keeping up with my long term goal…. Being healthy...

So glad to see you again Nokie! I've been missing in action myself...sooo, maybe we can both get off our "lazy" butts - LOL and post once in awhile. I'd so much like to help you get ready for the big day!
Sorry about your father in law (to be) Certainly isn't easy to think about yourself during times of sadness and stress........

I too have problem with my food and most recently exercising - but I'm moving forward, not looking back and dealing with "life" stuff as I go. I'll be here for you! I know lots of others will be too!

Did you see that Cassie got married? Woo Hoo!!

[musculArgirl2]

Nice to see you posting Nokie! If you ever decide on a dress would love to see a pic. It's coming up here in 2012 wasn't it?? So exciting! I love weddings. I truly do!


If your going to a tropical place for the honeymoon even more motivation. Would you still rather go to city hall and get hitched or are you getting a little more exiciting for your big day?


It's nice to see you around.

[Nokie173]

Aww… Thanks..

Every time I drop by, I always feel welcome… Thanks!!

Great idea Lu… Let’s move forward and try our best!!
I emailed Cassie but we both got busy… I’m shocked she got married before me…. LOL

As for my wedding dress, I’ll definitely post some pix of what I might like and the ones I’ll be trying on. (Next month!!!)

And for my honeymoon… Thinking of Asia… where? Not sure…

This weekend… I’m going to do something that I didn’t think of doing last time. I’m going to take pictures of my body frame and post it here to share and hope to see the before and after pictures… I might do it monthly… as I’m counting down!!!

Recently I’ve been doing morning cardio (Kick boxing or Zumba) 30mins
M-W-F – I’ve been doing superset body weight.

Next week… I’ll update my next workout. I’ll keep the morning cardio.

[Boss Man]

You have been through some difficutl stuff, so it's understandable some of the "you" things didn't happen quite as you would have liked.

If writing what you write here helps, then some is better than none.

I'm glad you are still pushing on and trying to do well for yourself. I'm proud of you and I always enjoy you being around .

[feelin-great]

Hey Nokie, it is so good to see you around here again, I have missed you So sorry to hear about your father in law to be That is such a difficult thing to have to deal with while planning a wedding... it sure puts life in perspective, doesn't it?

I love your idea of the wedding dresses by your alarm - that is great motivation!!

I stopped posting my diet and exercise because I have been so busy, but I have kept going and posting here and there and it seems to be working, but now that I have the time I will be posting more - so you do what works best for you! We do love to see you around though

[Nokie173]

Ok… it took me a lot of gusts to do this… but here it is… my body frame pix.
I was trying to upload it and post the pix here like image but I couldn’t do it so just click on the link.

I am in the process of having my own webpage... it’s currently under construction but once it’s set I’ll upload the pictures in there & post it here…. Yes, my own webpage… why? Because I’ll be posting wedding pictures for distant family & friends… but there will be a password access to those lovely pictures… ^_^ No worries, I’ll share the password with my friends in here too…

*** Regarding body pix... I'm a bit chunky and not sure what's the best workout. Of course, full body workout and a lot of squats & lunges right? I'm trying to do more cardio so those legs of mine can be a lil bit smaller & arms


10/3/11
5:15AM: 15mins – Zumba, Protein shake
7:30AM: Coffee with Soymilk, wheat bread x 2, eggs x 1 1/2, low-fat cheese
11AM: Liquid meal (Meal replacement)
12PM: Gym – Kick boxing class (45mins)
1:30PM: Chicken & veggie pot stickers x7, brown rice ½ cup, and steam broccoli x 1 cup

Got up a bit late this morning so I had to cut my morning workout short. Forgot my snack before gym so liquid meal will do.

Thank you all for your always welcoming posts I'll try my best to stick with it & make time for myself!!!

P.S.I'll start posting up wedding dresses to see what might fit my bodyframe and will start trying on wedding dresses the middle or end of the month.
