I’m going to try this right now since everyone is actually asleep and I have a moment to pamper myself!

I have actually been keeping up with my consistency (a feat for me, even only being in week 2! Lol!) I will (finally) be taking pictures tomorrow

It’s not about me weight, or shape or anything pregnancy related, and I am already at pre pregnancy size lol

I have an xpert xpole and I love that it has both spinning and static modes, like two poles in one!

Ok, so I have been contemplating this one fore a couple weeks now. The first coke times I read through the thread put me to tears. I won’t get into it, but body image is a struggle for me right now. Any how, so I kind if took this as a personal challenge, I would think about it and was determined to come up with something. Finally I have. I like the shape of my left leg from my knee to my ankle. Kind of specific, right lol. But I did it. So now when the baddies come (negative self thoughts) I hike up my pant leg and check out my leg lol. Whatever tightens your trousers, right lol.

Oh wow, that’s crazy! I have been using my mia for a year now and have never had a problem, but I do have darker olive skin so not much makes me red except a good dose of humility lol.

Week one day 2, stretching routine done! Progress is debatable but it felt good doing it. 🙂
-
Well one day one:
Well I am at like a 45° angle for splits, slightly more flexible in my back. Did my AA DVD that I had only done a few times a couple weeks ago. Felt really good! Will be doing it again tonight. Can’t wait to get SV lessons to check out her flexy routines! -
Count me in, let’s say at level zero lol
-
Oh, no worries! 🙂 everything is copacetic 😀

Oh, I am not doing anything actually strenuous, I did like 20 minutes of a kids dancing video game on easy mode, some stretching, and then ths evening we as family walled around the neighborhood (at my 2 year olds pace) all normal stuff, it’s only exercise cause I was really lazy lately and my doctors are ok with it 🙂 I haven’t done any pole whatsoever, haven’t put it up yet even, I am not trying to hurt myself lol, but after three kiddos now I recognize what I can do and what not to. I am not in a hurry as much as I thought I would be, I am actually feeling this really groovy sense of peacefulness and am content to just get off the couch for 20 minutes here and there 🙂

I already have the Android version, I was just wondering if there was anything different on the iPad version that warranted the big price difference, thanks
-
What’s the deference between the iPad $6.99 and the Android not free one (I don’t remember what I paid for it, lol) if anyone knows…

Hi! I’m here! My little girl is just a week old now! I have been been taking this time to really connect with the family and get our little one settled 🙂 I started my workout routine this morning just some very light cardio and AA’s stretching for pole, goodness I didn’t realize how bad I had gotten! But that’s ok! Slow and steady consistency will get me there! My goals for the week are to do my light cardio and stretching 6 times this week and to walk an hour a day. So, day one 1/2 done so far!
You seem to be doing really good! Family and other distractions (for lack of a better word) can be a challenge to work around, but picking up whenever you can isgreat! KeEp up the good work! You finding time is encouraging me to do the same! -

Any ways, so my point was, that ok let’s day that this body mod EO actually went through… And we are supposedly given equal chance at jobs despite our choice in altering our bodies, that’s it. That’s shook is going to do. Give the illusion that we are being given equal rights. It is not going to change how a company can require a particular appearance while on the job. If anything, it’s going to restrict more peoples choices of dress and appearance by more companies making more stringent dress code policies to ensure nothing they feel could be damaging to their image could be seen on anyone in their employment. it will be interesting to see which way this goes….

MemberMarch 14, 2012 at 3:31 pm in reply to: Petition to Include Body Modification in EO employmentI am curious if this is up for discussion our just a call to arms?
So forgive nee in advance for going it is both 🙂
First let me say that I am a body mod enthusiast, I have large tattoos in hard to conceal areas and piercings on the face as well. I am very synthetic to the difficulty it cab present when establishing employment in the main stream.
That being said, I don’t think this amendment to current EO laws would have the effect desired should it actually come to fruition.
First, those laws are there to attempt to level the playing fields against things that are innate in a humane, not choices. One cannot choose nor easily change race, gender, physical disability, and if choose the two hot and debatable ones… Sexual preference and religion. Done argue that body modification is like religion, but good much of religion is really choice? Not much, especially those who have been practicing a faith their entire life, these beliefs are not easy to discard and change. It takes stupid tine and dedication to build them, and probably even more time to attempt to change. Embracing the trains of another faith is one thing, truly changing deeply held serial beliefs us completely different, and those who have changed easily, may big have fully embraced their first religion deeply. Just like one cannot help who they love, if you’re attracted to the opposite or same sex is hardly something one has true control over.
As for getting a job, ideally, the most qualified person for the job should gain employment, but this is the real world and unfortunately we are still judged heavily in appearance. And in some respects a company does have a right to attempt to determine it’s professional appearance. Just as we like to project a particular image, a company may want to do so add well -
An option to consider: a smaller home studio, perhaps in a very well done up garage (read: professionally finished, if you know what I mean), and offering private/party type lessons, which could also be done at their (the clients) home if you had a portable pole….

I just got aletheas DVDs in the mail yesterday and watched them last night (I like to think of it as exercising in my mind lol) I am really excited to try them and see what happens, I have lost so much flexy this round of baby baking and I wasn’t all that in the first place!

Although, I will probably be on SV from the hospital on my galaxy tablet lol, if I have to sit there minimum three days I might go through SV withdrawals without it, plus I will need some way tell the whole world of our arrival!!
-
Not quite! Lol the doctor said yesterday I am in pre lab (which I already knew that lol) dilated to 2 cm. I have the feeling the big show down won’t be till thursday though, fashionably a week late…. Starting out just like her mom hahahaha (I have a history of doing life in my own time)
-
Wait… What?! We need a reason to wear leg warmers?!! Oh man, I’m in trouble!

I had a piercing (the don’t triangle thingy in the center front part of the eat I can’t remember what’s the name of it) that seemed to not want to heal properly at all (it kept keloiding really big and I was afraid it would a: be ugly without the piercing and scar horribly out b: be ugly with it and scar horribly) so I went back to the Piercer who also happened to be a nurse. She told me to gently and lightly swab it with tea tree oil every night for a week, then every other night until healed. It finally worked but it took some time. It’s perfect now and no one would every know that it scarred so bad in the first place! So maybe talk to a doctor or nurse that may be familiar with tea tree oil and see if that might be an option?
