Hi

DawnMarie · 05-15-2006, 11:11 PM

Just thought I'd stop in and say hi to everyone. I am pretty new to IM and have a log over in the IMPC Training Logs since that is where I first started, but now I see the real party is over here!

I hope to visit over here more often and read more of all the great logs going on. Glad to see so many others over 30 doing and looking so great!!

Thirty is the new 20, right?

DawnMarie

pammiejoe6 · 05-16-2006, 05:40 PM

hey there dahlin! glad to see you found us over here! hehehe

DawnMarie · 05-16-2006, 10:53 PM

Thanks for the welcome, the encourangement and the nice comments :blush:

Everyone in IMPC is doing great and working really hard, it is very exciting! That and finding these boards really helps with the motivation. It is great to read what everyone is doing and get ideas, etc. Especially this forum. I really like the atmopshere here and everyone is super friendly, supportive and nice.

Gotta love that!

**NewSpawn** · 05-17-2006, 01:12 AM

thanks dawnmarie for the kind comments in my thread. i want to say you should be proud of your accomplishments.....fantastic. there will be no contest for me except in the gym. i am in no way in that league. really i don't think i could stand the constant nit picking i would be doing if i was involved in preparing for a contest. while some people can critique themselves and move on i tend to dwell on it to much and it drives me crazy. it wouldn't be an enjoyable experience for me unfortunately.... but thanks for the vote of confidence. anyway thanks again and i hope you have a great day tomorrow.

RaSP · 05-17-2006, 08:42 PM

All I can say is WOW!!

WOW.

WOW.

I just read your progress thread and it is absolutely amazing what you have accomplished. Awesome job.

Oh yeah.... Welcome to the *coolest* IM forum.

You're welcome - you certainly deserve them - and more! You are obviously working very hard! I can understand about the contest, it is hard not to be overly critical of yourself, especially if you are competitive. IMO it is far better to know yourself and not put yourself in a position that would take all the enjoyment out of your lifting. I can only deal with the IMPC because I view the MIP, for me, a contest with yourself to keep improving. I think that contest is the most important anyway!

Awww, thanks DF!

LOL..it's funny I used to get teased about my name when I was younger, but now I kinda like the sunshine part of it.

dnyc99 · 05-18-2006, 02:18 AM

Hiya DawnMarie (such a pretty name!)

Thanks for dropping by my journal. I also wrote you a little note there too.

OMG I'm so sorry I didnt' come by sooner to wish you a Happy Mother's Day too...Argh..I knew I had forgotten someone! I guess my only excuse is that you look so young that I forgot you had kids!

hehe

Hope you had a wonderful day!!

Nice to also see you've started up a journal with us 'Hotties' over here.

You make a fine addition to this section.

"Thirty is the new 20, right?"

LoL
I know it applies to me...I've never felt or looked better in my life now that I'm in my 30's. It's nice to be young again.

hehehe

~D~

Thanks D! LOL, I never consider myself a "hottie" (maybe in training to be one someday..lol) but I agree there's alot of 'em over here - you included! Lots of motivation for me!

When I am done with IMPC I will see if they can move my transformation journal over here.

I totally agree with you on feeling younger - I've never felt this great..ever! I am loving it and probably enjoying it even more than in my 20s because I am older and wiser and I appreciate it much more!
