I'm not thinking about goal weight right now, I'm just thinking about being sure the clothes I wore last summer will still fit this summer. I will be miserable if they don't.0 -

Twilight quote or song that moved and grooved me today.....
The song "Ours" by The Bravery :
After tonight, who knows where we'll be tomorrow
What if we're never here again?
After tonight, this will be a lifetime ago
So let's stay up until the sky bleeds red
Like "meet Me on the Equinox," this song is all about the brevity of life. If something is beautiful, we need to embrace that wonderful experience and enjoy it as long as we can. I think it is a very appropriate coming after the release of the final movie in the Saga. After this moment in our lives, we may never have this opportunity again, so seize it! Carpe Diem! Go to the premier, travel to Forks, stay up until 2 am because the opportunity may never present itself again. So let's stay up until the sky bleeds red (until DAWN BREAKS) or until our eyes turn red, lol. But, I also love this song for everything it says about life, and I particularly think it applies to kids. When our children are little, we really NEVER will be HERE again. This moment in time is precious, and we must treasure it!
And we'll stop, stop, stop the world from moving
Stop, stop, stop the clocks from turning
Stop this night from fading away
Although we cannot really stop the world from moving and clocks from turning, we can revel in the moment. We can stop this night from fading away by LIVING it.0 -

TWILIGHT QUOTES or MUSIC
Share a quote or song that 'moves or grooves' you that day!
Today, when I got to work, I listened to the Twilight Score, and when the very first song plays, I envision the scene where the deer runs thru the woods and is finally intercepted by Edward. I like to think about how the Twilight Saga has had such an impact on not only my life but the lives of many others. The thrill is still there when I hearmthe music and associate it with the scenes, and I am so glad I learned about Twilight, as I will never be the same.0 -
Happy Birthday to Kristen Stewart !0

TWILIGHT QUOTES or MUSIC - Because of Rob's song on the Twilight soundtrack "Never Think" I went to a concert by his friend who co-wrote the song (Sam Bradley (guy in the left pic)) and met some very awesome friends, then hung out with them again before going to another concert performed by another friend of Robs. Met up with them a 3rd time to see Sam again, ended up hanging out with him for an hour having a very strange conversation after the show, something about naked pillowfighting & drinking Jamesons. Last night I got to see Bobby Long again (on the right pic) so after meeting 2 of his best mates, could I please meet the pretty one now0 -

Twilight quote or song that moved and grooved me today: "I was afraid of the time I’d spent unconscious, afraid that he might have been thinking about right and wrong again while he watched me sleep." -
Bella Swan, New Moon, Chapter 3, p.53
Can you tell I'm reading New Moon right now? lol I fell asleep at 8:30pm or before. I slept away my exercise time and then was awake at 2am dealing with a whiny child. No way I'm exercising at 2am and I know myself, I'm not going to get up at 5am and do it either. I hate falling asleep early and missing my planned activity.0 -

Twilight quote or song that moved and grooved me today.....
“I'm from a different era. Things were a lot less complicated. And if I would have met you back then, I would have courted you. Would've taken chaperoned strolls and had iced tea on the porch. I may have stolen a kiss or two, but only after asking your father's permission, I would've got down on one knee and I would've presented you with a ring. This was my mother's. Isabella Swan, I promise to love you every moment of forever. Would you do me the extraordinary honor of marrying me?"0 -

Twilight quote or song that moved and grooved me today:
"I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more" - from the song "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri
Listening to Pandora at work today and Christina Perri was featured a lot on my "Maroon 5 Radio" station. I love her music and think the song she wrote for Breaking Dawn is awesome. Then I was working out while watching Dancing With the Stars on DVR and "A Thousand Years" was featured for one of the dances. With this and re-reading the Twilight saga again, it's definitely been a Twilight kind of day.0 -

Twilight....
I walked in the evening. The sounds of the wind through the icy branches was something I don't recall noticing ever before and it sounded like rain. And of course rain reminds me of Forks. I picked up a 'pick of the week' song download card at Starbucks and it was Iron and Wine! How cool is that for a Twilight inspiration!0 -

I saw that DWTS, too, and loved it. Then yesterday, I was listening to the New Moon soundtrack and loving "No sound but the wind" and these lines stood out for me:
The things you put in your head
They will stay here forever
Our blood is cold
And we're alone
But I'm alone with you
Help me to carry the fire
We will keep it alight together
Help me to carry the fire
It will light our way forever
Like Yvonne, I've been thinking about how Twilight has changed my life, become a part of my new memories and affected my family through the joy we get sharing the stories, music, and feelings evoked. I love that.0 -

Twilight....
Starting to pack for my move the end of May. Was thinking last night about how I need to group my Twilight memorabilia together and not lose track of it in the move. Made we wonder what Bella got to take with her to the Cottage. Maybe things that the Cullen's smuggled from her dad's house without him taking notice, that is, until he got to see her in her 'new' form.
Twilight at Work...I had a little distraction at work...our new boss talks, nonstop. She has aspirations to go far and upward, so she tends to blabber...anyway, she told us in a longwinded staff meeting that instead of order takers, we were order shapers. At that moment I imagined that I would rather be a shape shifter so I could get the heck out of that meeting! Just call me Leah Clearwater.
" Nudity was an inconvenient but unavoidable part of pack life. We'd all thought nothing of it before Leah came along. Then it got awkward." - Jacob Black0 -
308/150 Dancing, walking, running, aerobics. Enjoyed a cool cloudy day, hoping for vampires on my walk.
23/30 minutes Strength Training...maybe more later this eve?
Logging honestly, Over for the week but had a party to go to yesterday and enjoyed the desserts though I ate a sensible meal first.
Twilight...
Thinking about Renesmee and Tennyson I had to look up, what was she reading at 3 months? Aw, BDp529 has it
"'There is sweet music here,'" she read without hesitation, "'that softer falls than petals from blown roses on the grass, or night-dews on still waters between walls of shadowy granite, in a gleaming pass--'"
So many beautiful images that the Twilight books and movies and the fantastic music bring to mind. Thanks, Yvonne and ladies, for bringing so much to liven our lives, work, and workouts!0 -
Hi ladies, I was out of town this weekend to see my son, so my logging didn't get complete Saturday and I didn't log Sunday.
Did some shopping while there, and a lot of walking as a result. Got home in time to do my taxes. Bah humbug!
I enjoyed Twilight playlists on my road trip. It's. a great way to pass the time while in the car.
A song that I've always enjoyed on the New Moon soundtrack is 'Possibility' by Lykke Li. While eerie, it completely captures the mood of the situation.
The piano in the song, the part in the movie where the room rotates and she remains as the months go by, and the blank pages in the book...all show how devastated Bella is by Edward's leaving.
So tell me when you hear my heart stop
You're the only one that knows
Tell me when you hear my silence
There's a possibility I wouldn't know
Happy Monday ladies!!! You are all awesome!0 -
Cardio. 169/150 - Mostly walking with hills
Strength 5/30 - I just couldn't get into it this week
Logging, water, food, exercise - honestly and daily - I missed Friday & Saturday ....shame on me!
Twilight quote or song that moved and grooved me today:
I'm re-reading the saga and just started Eclipse yesterday. Like Yvonne and Susie, I was thinking about how Twilight has influenced my life these last however many years. I was late jumping on the bandwagon (the first movie was already out on DVD), but can't imagine my life without Twilight now. I pure and simply love it.0 -

Leighann, I was late too. My sis had told me about these YA books that were really good, but I just wasn't into reading much back then. When the first movie came out on DVD I got it from Redbox as a last resort of something that I might like. Somewhere in the movie I found myself caught up and well...here we are!!!0
