You guys helped me kick by biting addiction! :) Thx! Kickboxing and Yoga is on

About 2 or 3 weeks ago I wrote a blog about something and mentioned I’m a biter.  Tina, you still got me girl.  She thought it was something juicy base on the title but it turned out to be about biting nails. hehe.

Anyhow, I got a lot of feedback.  You guys, my foundation, suggested nail polish - thx Deb!  Did do and to stop biting all together because it’s gross, thank you Dagny, Holly AND Shan said each bit is like 350 calories; besides it messes up your teeth.

Oh, almost forgot - Holly babe, you challenged me not to bite and I did.  I owe you one!  -Yah no eggrolls for you! :)  hehe

So my dear buddies, listen did I to your advice.  See the pictures - IT’S all because of you!  THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

My teeth doesn’t hurt as much anymore.  You are right Holly, let them grow and wear them naturally.

It never cease to fail; if I blog about silly things on my mind, somehow, you all come up with the simplest yet effective solution.  Also, knowing that I’m not the only biter helps.  So much love to all the people who supported me with something like this and look at the result! :)

I wanted to do a 3 hour block of Step, Kickboxing and Yoga but it’s a no go.  Carpooling is the culprit.  So it’s just kickboxing and yoga. Had a ton of fun in both class. My clothes was drenched in sweat when I was done.

Back to the gym - not sure if I want to watch my fellow buddies anymore.  Well, maybe with one hand over my face and peeking here and there. :)

Today- SALSA time - this dedicated to my girls HOLLY, DEBBIE and DAWNIE for inspiring me to take that dance class even though I will feel like a fish out of water!

Stay on track guys!  We can do it - Thanks Debbie for being our motivator for the day.

    Holly, yah - you were on my mind each time I was gettin’ ready to bite. See, you got me thinking it’s all gross and stuff! So, yes, thank you eggroll eating girl, hehe, I am keeping my hands out of my mouth.

    I too used to be a biter but a few years ago I had a job where I went into seniors homes and arranged for assistance to come in to help them—and I was tired of my yucky hands. I started wearing polish and for the FIRST time ever—I grew long and healthy nails—who knew? I just keep clear polish on them cause I cant stand when colored paint chips. Yours look pretty! I bet that salsa class is going to be fun!

    Beck, I used to wear acrylic to not bite my nails painted in green, blue…etc -ghetto stuff, hey I’m from the ghetto I can say that :)When I was younger that is.

    Then I did the whole french manicure thing.

    Now, I hope I can keep up with the clear polish. MY honey loves it and it’s free as I do it myself.

    Great job girl! Welcome to the non-biters Club! :)

    Good job. Breaking bad habits are hard.

  8. beckyboo @ December 23rd, 2008

    Nothing ghetto about those nails now girl!

  9. easybreezy @ December 23rd, 2008

    Used to be a nail biter to, welcome to the club…. and really 350 calories is that for real or was she just messing with you?!

  10. astrongnewme @ December 24th, 2008

    Wow, you grew your nails out like that in only a few weeks? They look great. One of my rewards for reaching goal weight is going to be a nice, relaxing manicure!

  11. sabrinaBB @ December 24th, 2008

    Great job girl! I knew you can do it! Love your nails :D

  12. sabrinaBB @ December 24th, 2008

    Wow…how many hours am I behind? It says that I wrote the comment on the 24th? Looking at my clock, it’s morning on the 23rd? Hey does that mean I can open my presents a day early? :D

  13. khmerbeauty @ December 24th, 2008

    Becky! You are too kind…I have to dig up my old pics…hmmm green fake nails on a 220 lb girl. Not a cute sight. :)

  14. khmerbeauty @ December 24th, 2008

    Briahna! I wrote on Shan’s blog with that same inquiry..not quite sure if she meant it or if it was a joke. We shall no soon!

    Great job and welcome to the no biting Club! :)

  15. khmerbeauty @ December 24th, 2008

    MJ, I checked out my old blogs - It was 12/5. I think it’s all that water and healthy food I try to eat everyday. :) Thanks girl!

    You’re getting that manicure soon!

  16. khmerbeauty @ December 24th, 2008

    Thanks Sabrina! You got me for a minute. I checked the calendar to make sure today is the 23rd - still have to do X-mas shopping today.

  17. buttercup @ December 24th, 2008

    Pretty Nails. I’m glad you kicked that nasty habit.

    To answer your question in my blog, I was just joking. I don’t THINK nails have calories. Not enough to make a difference anyway. Nails are made up of a protein called keratin. Protein I know has calories, but good grief. If you chewed enough nails to make a true calorie difference in your diet, then one would need to be more worried about an eating disorder. LOLOL

    Hugggggggggggggggs,
    Shan
