April Fool in January ?????

I have a little story to share that just reminded me of the EXPO!!!!When my foster son Dale was about 5 years old we played an Aprils fools joke on him. He thought that was so great to have a day to play jokes on people. Unfortunetly Dale didn't quit get the meaning of April 1st /april fools day came once a year. Dale played April fool jokes on use rather often and would say April Fool with such a great big smile you just couldn't get mad, just made you love him more. I wonder????
If EAS is pulling an April Fool joke on us in January??? Maybe they will going us along until the night of the Gala and then anounce :There are NO New Champion Winners!!! April FOOL!!!Hum!!!! I wonder??????? LOL
Just something funny that crossed my mind in the heated wait to hear who the New Champions are. Guess it wouldn't be too funny huh???
Always in the spirit of BFL, yep, even at 6am( I woke up thinking this) Love,Your CheerleaderGET*HER*DONE LINDA

Perhaps a mini-contest for those who are able to maintain or even lose a couple of pounds while on-board? Who knows?

As you well know, In Bill's famous BFL book he encourages everyone to take a "free week" after your 12 week BFL Challenge. remember. . . .This is YOUR vacation. Feel free to do what YOU want to do! Do a HIIT cardio on the beach or. ..maybe. . . sun your buns while relaxing with a massage & sipping a tropical libation from a coconut while waiting for dinner aboard aluxury liner?

The new TOOO small too tight suit suit challenge for 2007

I saw this little suit on sale, $5.00 each piece, size 7 junior, Last suits I fit into were size 11 or size medium, I haven't even gone to size 9/10 year. When I saw this suit I wanted it, but they only had a size 7 so being cute and cheap I couldn't pass it up plus I said well it will give me a new motive to work harder in 2007 to fit into it by the time of the cruise in May.
However, all the cruise challenges and torch jacket challenge came up and I figured, HEY!
YOU GO GIRL, GO FOR IT and GET*HER*DONE!!!
So here I am standing here in a bikini that is way to small and shows my love handles hanging over and notice no tan, lol
I am holding the Sunday dec 31, 2006 paper and the pics were all taken on Jan 1, 2007, (sorry Carriere, Ms doesn't get a Monday paper)

I have lots of challenges and lots of reasons to get myself fitting into this cute little number to WIN!!!!!
Also If I fit into it, I know I'll fit into the pink and black dress that I despaertly want to wear to the Expo Gala march 2, so Here's to ME!! Wish me luck! I'm ready to GET*HER*DONE!
