Welcome Back Chunky Dunkers!

Good evening!

You remember Chunky Dunker’s, right? Well, tonight, we are going to get back into the habit of supporting each other on a weekly basis.

Re-starting now, I will post a new Chunky Dunker’s article ever Wednesday evening, and you will have the opportunity to comment, and cheer each other as you each go through your journey to get fit and healthy!!! We will discuss hints, tips, and ideas on losing weight, staying motivated, and achieving your fitness goals, whether that is to lose 5 pounds, to do 10 sit-ups, or just incorporate some healthy habits into your daily life!!

An update for how things are going for me…well…Life is going pretty darn good. I am doing a couple of dance classes every Monday, Zumba twiceΒ  week, and fitting in walks and swimming sessions wherever I can. I am tracking my food daily on the Livestrong website, which seems to help keep me on the straight and narrow nutrition-wise. I haven’t lost any weight, but I have lost inches, so that is good! Right??

Anyway, I am excited to get this posted and hear how everyone is doing this evening – it has been too long! So, I will meet you in the comments section!! πŸ˜‰

Have a FABULOUS evening!! ;-)

    1. Christina Post author

      LOL!! I do to, but I still feel like I am 100 pounds less than I am, so I just have to get my body back in sync with my mind!! πŸ˜‰

      Are you excited about Women of Faith?

      1. Christina Post author

        I know, we would LOVE it if you could go!! Nette decided not to go this year. This is my first year without her – it feels very weird!!! Plus, now I have to drive!!! Sorry Jennifer and Trina!! πŸ˜‰

    2. Christina Post author

      You know, I saw you this week, and you are looking pretty darn skinny – compared to the Jennifer from even a year ago, so you keep up the dang good job, baby!! πŸ˜‰

        To check his legs for more blood clots (DVTs). His legs have been looking pretty bad lately. My non-medical opinion it is because he had been sitting too long, because whenever we go swimming his legs almost look back to normal.

        So, on top of all of the dancing I am doing, I am trying to make sure we get to the pool together between 3 and 4 times a week – no wonder I am so dang wiped out!!! πŸ˜‰

        The log cabins are done being painted with snow, but I havent put on the lights yet. I am looking for little wreaths to go on them as well. I am also painting a few piggy panks I have had for awhile. Also the other frames I bought at the craft warehouse.

      2. Jennifer Basso-Benson

        Yes I did. Michael’s already has some Christmas supplies out. When they are finished I will show you a pic of them. They look good so far. I think. Also I went online to the company that makes these frames to get them cheaper and they dont sell them to individuals only to stores.

      3. Christina Post author

        and yes, I can’t wait to see pics!!! πŸ˜‰ I still don’t know what I am going to make yet! probably Christmas ornaments, or jewelry, I guess!

    The Book is called Awakenings. Its a Sci-fi Fiction. Takes place 800 years after Mass Nuclear War, and an event occurs that releases magic back into the world.

      I know, right??? I am so excited that I am going to be married to an author, and I don’t even have to get divorced to have that happen!! πŸ˜‰

    OMG!! My roomie’s dog Lulu is crazy funny!!!! She chases reflects on the sunlight on the pool that is on the cieling and her newest obsession is the red light from under my mouse. I move it all over the floor or ceiling and she is totally trying to chase it and then barks at me when I stop. LIKE HELLLLOOOHHHH!!! Don’t stop!

      1. Christina Post author

        I have heard her over Skype and she is really loud!!! πŸ˜‰ But I just LOVE her name!! Lulu!! Maybe we can have a daughter and name her that, love?? πŸ˜‰

    1. Christina Post author

      Sophie did when she was a puppy!! Jason would drive her crazy with his lazer pointer, and she used to frantically chase flies too – and then freak out if she ever accidentally caught one!! Silly girl!! No, my girls are getting kind old!! πŸ˜‰

    So for me, I am, at the last time I weighed myself, 251lbs. That is the lightest that I have been in a few years. I have been slacking off some, but I have been doing more running around work and more lifting of heavy things, but I need to do more. Not too great for me all in all.

      1. Katrina Basso

        At least I still am kind of getting a work out at work carrying things around the store like bigger pieces of equipment and big bags of clothes. I did play some with some kids here today, but that wasn’t much, but it was fun.

    1. Christina Post author

      Yes, ABSOLUTELY!!! I would love to say I am at the lowest I have been in a few years! Hang in there love and keep doing the right things, it will happen!! and even if it doesn’t you will feel FABULOUS!!! πŸ˜‰

      1. Christina Post author

        Yes, I initially thought the other meaning too!! LOL!! Chunky Dunkers is fun, we seriously need to keep this going!!

        Jason and I went grocery shopping last night and loaded up on SOOOO MANY HEALTHY FOODS!! Eating all of my pre-planned meals today that Jason packed for me was actually FUN!! πŸ˜‰

      2. Alexa Moody

        Actually I am proud of all of our accomplishments…every single one of us! Think about where we were this time last year! EVeryone give yourselves a pat on the back!

      3. Christina Post author

        Alex, you are soooo right!! We have come a FREAKIN’ long way!! Last year, I was a couch potato who was too tired to even pretend to be living my life!! Life has gotten so much better!! πŸ˜‰

    1. Christina Post author

      Was that subtle, or what??? LOL! Jennifer would kick our butts if we stole Trina, so that means only one thing!! They will have to come up as a set, and dog-sit together!! SOUNDS FUN, RIGHT??? πŸ™‚

  5. Alexa Moody

    Ok so I am glad I am not the only one losing inches but the scale has not moved… man it is killing me…

    1. Christina Post author

      Tabatha,
      No, you are not alone, I am right there with you!! Losing inches is nice, don’t get me wrong, but I have soooo much weight to lose, if the scale could just start moving downwards, I would be ONE HAPPY GIRL!!! πŸ˜‰

      By the way, welcome to Chunky Dunker’s! As you can see, we talk about a lot of everything!!!
      I hope to see you again soon!! πŸ˜‰
