*LAURIE

Laurie it's your birthday!!!! FELIZ CUMPLEANOS!!!!

 

Hmmm not so sure she reads my blog really. Ha! Probably cuz I never told her about it. Thankfully we did celebrate her birthday on Sunday and I had the kids paint a cute frame that I put some pics of them on. It was so cute. Those kids seriously have some talent. I couldn't believe how steady Hailey kept painting and she is THREE! Cistene chapel, if you need a touch-up my adorable niece is available!

 

 

Oh Yeah! Down with Fat!

*While you Weren't Sleeping…..

So Friday …Sleep Study. Uh huh yup. That name is as ILLOGICAL and as UNTRUTHFUL as the term 'Sleepover'. And nobody ain't getting any sleep at either mind you. So we head over to the clinic Friday night. I knew that they hooked up some stuff to you. Ok I didn't know that I would look like an abductee. I felt like Adam was my alien doing tests on me (and not the fun kinky kind lol). Can I just tell you I've never felt so stupid on the ride home. It wasn't dark yet!!!! Can I just tell you the looks I got people. I FELT SO STUPID and I'VE DRIVEN TO WORK IN A CLOWN COSTUME!

At least when you are in a costume you can play the part and wave at the kids and it's funny. But when you have electrodes all over your face and body and wires sticking out….well HOW DO YOU ACT? It made me feel sorry for people who have to wear head-gear or crap like that.

 

*We Are Family…….

Man this is why I need to lose weight so that I have more energy! I'm so worn out and we don't even have kids yet. I have to tell you holidays are as fun as ever but its kind of tiring when you have TWO parties to go to.

MY FAMILY: We met at the park for KFC. I was good and had the baked kind but I had a huge ol' piece of cake that seriously made me sick.

Anyway it was really fun hanging out with everyone. We played a little softball until Max got hit AGAIN poor fellar. Deb's family couldn't make it and they were missed. We were so happy that Aaron brought the kids even on his day to have the kids. Those kids are just so adorable!

ADAM"S FAMILY: (Great now that theme song is going through my head……..and their quirky……dad a dah dah dad ah da……the Addam's family). We met for steak dinner oh yum!!!! I made a lemon dessert that everyone liked.

A FUNNY: Kiya (Adam's niece) asked me to go outside with her to have a 'boring' day. That made me smile. Oh and she also told me I have a big butt. Damn that Hailey, I just know she told Kiya to say that….ha ha ha jk. Kids are honest. I KNOW ADULTS THINK I HAVE A BIG ASS……….kids just don't know yet that its not polite to say it. Makes me laugh. And it is T-R-U-E!!!!

 

*Bitch Slapppp

Temper

Ok so I am a woman, I'm a Gemini, and I'm Scottish-Irish. I have the ability to be a bitch fo' sure, though I'm not a red-head lol. Just ask my family. They have for sure seen it, my temper. But USALLY it's RARELY seen. I keep it under wraps quite well.

And Adam has seen it more and more………….but HOLY COW. Lately I'm the bitch from hell.

I've just cried about it and told Adam how sorry I am. I started taking my St John's wort (for anxiety etc) again. I DON'T KNOW WHAT MY PROBLEM IS. I have had two recent rage moments that are just insane. Although it may seem funny now it really wasn't at the time………

KFC

So I wanted to leave early for my family's party at the park. I felt like as the 'organizer' we should be early to save a spot but we were running late and had to get ice and the cake still. I told Adam I didn't have my money. He didn't realize he forgot his wallet. So we are in KFC and had just figured out the order we wanted-after 10 minutes of ordering all this chicken etc then he realizes he doesn't have his wallet. I flip out and said a word he really hates and he starts driving like a mad-man. All over a wallet. Sheesh. (So this was Sunday)

Eggs & Potatoes

So yesterday morning again I get all furiously pissed over nothing. It was over potatoes this time. I didn't like how Adam was cooking them and the eggs were going to burn. Then he made a couple of comments about how I shouldn't go to McDonald's and another comment about me eating. It made me furious. I just felt like he had no faith in me and here I've been working my ass off. Oh I was pissed. I went storming out to my car. Adam flings the potatoes on the lawn. Oh boy the neighbors had something fun to watch yesterday!

Sheesh what the hell! I wonder if my blood pressure medicine makes me extra bitchy or something.

You have to know Adam is the sweetest thing ever. It kills me to treat him like that and I just can't do it. I'm probably crazy or something. His family would disown me. Sometimes he says things that hurts my feelings, but he is not trying to hurt my feelings. There is no excuse for my bouts of anger! I hate it seriously. Doc give me some pills!!!!

 

*Wonder Woman

Well so I'm a bitch but I do know how to work out!!!! At least I'm good at something…….:sighs:

 

• Yesterday-10 cardio, 40 weights
  
• Today-40 minutes cardio
  

 

*PopCulture

Don't ya know how important it is!

Vampire Porn Update….

So I know some of you aren't into vampire porn, so I'll just update you. Suki is the main character. She is in love with a vamp. So her vamp (Bill) was just stolen by werewolves and taken to the king of vampires. He wants to make Bill a mayor over a town and help him start a war. Tara (Suki's best friend who now hates her as she holds her responsible for her boyfriend- Egg getting killed)…..are you following this? Tara is being taken care of by her ever lovable gay cousin (who last season was held hostage by the bad vamps).

Eric (sexy bad vamp who made Suki suck his blood which makes her have naughty dreams about him) is helping Suki find Bill.

Yeah sounds so lame how I describe it but seriously its hot people!

The Bachelor

Last night I went to Lisa's to watch the Bachelor. I was highly entertained! I was actually able to follow, even though I only saw the first episode. The whole concept to me is hilarious. Reminds me of just a really long Blind Date episode or something.

I mean do these guys even like her? Personally I think it is all about WINNING the prize. I was teasing Laurie and told her that I wanted to nominate her for that show. She so did not agree! I think she would be so cute on that show. All those guys trying to kiss you Laurie? Come on!

I’m B-A-C-K!!!!

*Baby Got Back

I'm ALL back baby!

I'm happy to say that I'm doing better. Check out my eating and activity action for Monday. I burned like WAY more than I ate…totally tubular dude!

More Cheating!!!!

Sunday, June 20 2010

*Father of the Bride

Damn Honesty! I swore I would be good at Father's Day but instead I was VERY VERY BAD!!!!!

Although by some miracle I must've been pretty active because luckily I did burn more than I ate but BARELY!

The Truth Shall Damn Ye

Saturday, June 19 2010

*Breakfast at Tiffany's

So I said I'd be honest. I was really tempted NOT to write what I ate today. But I am going to show the world now………(notice I ate more than I burned. VERY VERY BAD!!!!!

(Now the cheat at night was OK, I earned it by losing weight that week. But its cheat MEAL, not cheat DAY)

Thank God its Friday!!!!

*Breakin' the Law

So yeah I really need to work on entering in everything I eat in the BodyBugg thing. In fact……..let me catch up! BRB……..Sweet……DID YOU MISS ME? I know you did! Luvy Luvy!

Ok so as of right now I've consumed 989 of 1800 calories. I have burned 2231/3000 calories so my defecit is 1242! Wahoo-its always better to burn more than you eat!

I'm still having to fight that urge everywhere I go to buy something extra for myself-like a treat when I'm at Costco etc. What the hell is that about? Am I a 2 year old crying for a treat at the store for crying out loud. Apparently! I already gave Adam my extra cards so he has access to my only card I have on me-my debit card and can see for example a transaction to Coldstone Icecream. Damn! Ha ha.

So this is how E-V-I-L I am. I find myself trying to find extra cash about so that I could go to McDonald's some morning. Or, I have to fight the urge to buy a treat EVERY flipping time I go to the store. Sheesh! And this week I've been so mopy and lazy that we have gone to Subway or for a salad more than we can afford and more than I have calories for so it really is amazing that I lost last week. Crazy girl. It's so silly really

THIS MORNING'S WORKOUT:

• 35 minutes swimming (laps-16 full laps)
  

 

*Open Your Eyes Shelby

Last Saturday I (or actually a couple of weeks ago now) I did go and try out for Steel Mangolias. I did the 'Towanda' speech from Fried Green Tomatoes as my monologue to try out. And just so you know, monologue is like a foreign word for me! I'M NO THESPIAN! (Though if you remember a couple blogs ago some think I'm a LESBIAN….thanks for that lab technician b-iatch…yeah you just wanted me. As if!)

Can I just tell you that this was one of the scariest things I ever did in my life? And suddenly I was remembering one of my only auditions at Cottonwood High where I instead ran off the stage. You can see how I've always been a chorus girl. That's easy.

So I arrive early at the place and this lady behind me has her head shot and a resume and I'm just starting to freak out more and more. Then it was my turn and I introduce myself to the four people, my heart is about to pound out of my chest.

And then I tell myself hey its like User's Conference, only it only lasts for like a minute! As I walked up the stage all I could think of was "Oh damn, they are so looking at my big ass right now".

I have to tell you people I think I was pretty good! But nevertheless, they went another direction! I'm proud of myself for trying! It is still on my FAT BUCKET LIST.

 

 

*Weekend at Bernies….

 

I am so excited that its Friday people! I can't even tell you how much!

Our weekend plans: (besides cleaning, errands, and the other boring stuff):

• Tonight-going to get Sleep Study stuff put on my person to take Sleep Apnea test
  
• The Gym! (of course)
  
• Father's Day celebrations on both sides
  
• Making presents for dad and Laurie with Max & Hailey
  

Peace out bitches!!!!

*Born to Lose

Oh yeah baby! I LOST WEIGHT AGAIN! Adam accidentally slipped out (not like that you dirty bird) that I lost 2 pounds, but I still don't know the actual number so that's good. WAHOO! I don't know how it happened with all the cheating I have done such as:

• Taffy! Leftover from Training at work
  
• Whoppers
  
• Donut Holes
  

*Rollin' With my Homies….

Or I guess in my dad's case its rolling with the oldies. Ha ha just kidding dad!

Although I've had my cheater moments, I'm definitely doing better at the gym. It's slowly coming back and I can do a little more each time.

I work out at different times with dad, Lisa, and Adam which is awesome. Today they just happen to all fall on the same day which is unusual so I did the following this morning:

• 10 minutes rowing machine
  
• 30 minutes arm weights
  
• 10 minutes bike
  
• 10 minutes elliptical
  
• 10 minutes treadmill
  

Adam mentioned that he and I are supposed to work out tonight and I mentioned we should walk around the block, but I think I could head back to the gym for 40 more minutes of cardio. Heaven knows I could use it and I know Adam does as well (he has got to do something about that root beer belly lol)

I need to keep it up with the bodybugg! I wear it all the time, but I need to make sure I calculate all of my food so that I'm staying within my limits.

Burn Baby Burn!

*ME LOVES MY BODYBUGG!

This is how cool the BodyBugg is! I love seeing how many calories I've burned and tracking my food and seeing the difference. It makes me so aware!

There’s Something about Holly

*Funny People

• Twice Bitten, Twice Shy: I mentioned previously that the HBO True Blood series is likened to Vampire Porn. And you may think I'm joking but seriously I'm not. I had NO IDEA how much. Holy moly season 2 was almost too much for me lol. There was this creature thing that did eventually get killed but who was controlling all these people into sacrificing and orgies etc. Vampire porn indeed! I guess add that to the list of why I'm going to hell. But what an interesting ride. Some of that I definitely could have done away with. But that show is just so intriguing. Women is it just me or are vampires seriously hawt???? Adam doesn't get this at all. Is it because it's on your neck where they bite-land sakes I don't know but yummy!
  

*Not Another Fad Diet – the Ugly Truth

Wednesday's Child

Well I weighed in with Adam and I DID LOSE. WOOT! SUCCESS!

I Wanna Get Physical

(Oh yeah, you gotta love that song seriously! Don't pretend you aren't singing it!)

Gotta Have a Plan:

• M-walking with dad
  
• Tu-gym with Lisa
  
• W-walking with dad; gym with Adam
  
• Th-gym with Lisa
  
• F-walking with dad
  
• Sa-gym with Adam
  
• Su-gym with Adam
  

MY RESULTS:

• Th-I did go to the gym with Lisa
  
• Friday-long walk with dad & Adam
  
• Saturday-35 minutes at gym with Adam
  
• Sunday (oops)
  
• Monday-I went walking for 25 minutes
  
• Tuesday: I went walking for 30 minutes with dad, 15 minutes with Laurie & the kids
  

ASSESSMENT:

That word sure has a big ass in it-hee hee I can relate, just ask Hailey! I think this is an excellent start. Exercise has always been easier for me to do. I will work out but don't take away my carrot cake!!!! Let the fattie eat cake! Oh what a world…….

Fried Green Tomatoes:

Well over the weekend we were kind of out of control. It was kind of an entire cheating weekend, due to not enjoying our initial cheat. UGH.

But I'm going to make this work. The doctor said to have 1800 calories so I am going to stick to that and yesterday was pretty dang close.

BACK TO THE BODYBUGG: ("Back to life, back to reality…….oh yeah sing it baby) Do you remember this? My Bodybugg is a fancy little gadget that tracks your calories that I bought forever ago and then stopped using. I was just lazy and also didn't want to pay the 10 dollars a month to use the website to go along with it. But it is so helpful! You can track your calories. THIS WAY I CAN STICK TO THE 1800 CALORIES! I'm really excited to be using it again actually.

Monday: I did good actually. My burn was very decent. I was able to even do Subway and 2 cookies and stay within my allotted calories because I had been really good.

Tuesday: So we had a potluck today at work-taco bar and silly me made those scotcharooes. I'd been faithfully counting calories and then I was thinking I could have one and not count it when suddenly my coworkers asked me to go on a walk! Wahoo they saved the day. I WILL COUNT EVERYTHING. The UGLY truth remember! I will be accountable. I so hate to admit it, but I did go back later and eat that stinking scotcharoo and I had one later that night. SNAP OUT OF IT HOLZ! It sucked counting all of that. Luckily there still was a deficit of calories between what I burned and ate.

Wednesday: So last night I stuck a couple of dollars in my purse, fully intending on going to McDonald's in the morning. Sheesh. I kept thinking. I DON'T HAVE TO TRACK IT AND I DON'T HAVE TO BLOG IT. LIAR LIAR! Yes you do, but I didn't eat it yeah. Sometimes I get so disgusted. I love myself, but not this small (or actually rather LARGE hee hee) part of me. Not the creature that craves twinkies and ding dongs!

*The Family Stone

Father Figure

I'm really proud of dad. He wants me to come up with a diet for him. I'm trying to convince him to get a gym membership with me so that we can swim.

Wild Things

I missed Max and Hailey so much this weekend when they were with their dad. They are so very fun. So far my favorite is playing puppies and break dancing with them. Those pooches have moves!

*Much Ado About Nothing

Holly Randomness….because that's who I am folks)

Knocked Up

Allison had her baby! Cole is adorable and I want to see him soon!

To Kill a Mockingbird

Don't fall victim to the sunflower seed scam! So Adam and I went to Home Depot and bought like 3 huge bags of sunflower seeds for the birds. Those piggies eat a six dollar bag of birdseed in like a week. Here I've been bragging about the birds right outside every morning to my niece and nephew, so I was THRILLED to see the birdseed that was so cheap. Well guess what. No birds around us will eat them. Sheesh

I'm Just a Pill

So nothing exciting with my new blood pressure pills. I'm stoked they were only $7. Going to Adam's health plan and ditching mine was the best thing ever! I do keep watching wondering what my little heart is gonna do. I can't tell a bloody difference. Here is to hoping my bp does good. I'm trying to just chill and not worry so much about everything. Ha ha ha. That SOUNDS easy.

Let Me Entertain You…….MAYBE!

Should I try out for a play? Amy says I should. Oh man. Could I really do it? The play is Steel Magnolias. Hello my fav in all the land. I don't even have to act to be Ouisa, just be myself

Rat Race

Been working a lot lately. At times like this I wish I got paid hourly lol. So much going on its insane. But I'm grateful to have a job! And I do love it truth be known. And no my boss doesn't read my blog lol.

• Pot Luck Whores: So funny. All these people sure seem to visit when we have a potluck with implementation. I call them pot luck whores as they have very strong noses and big bellies. Not that I'm one to talk. Just funny what vultures people can be (and funny that they never bring but sure share in the booty)

*Funny People

• I'm a Lesbian?: So that got your attention! So when I was getting my blood work done (more on that later) earlier this Swedish lab technician asked me if I was happy that it was pride day. I had no idea what she was talking about and just said 'Yeah sure.' As I was leaving she told me to enjoy my big weekend and I just walked off thinking 'You is crazy bitch.'.......Then suddenly I remember some promos on X96.....Pride weekend? Yeah thats the gay pride parade tomorrow. What the hell? Its not like I was wearing a rainbow or anything. I don't have a crew cut and I don't even own combat boots. That chick is just lucky I didn't make the connection at the time. Ha ha, like I would've done anything really.......so the rest of the day has been great. I just wrote real big on my forehead 'NOT A LESBIAN' just in case......(can you imagine?) I at least hope that I look like the lipstick lesbian kind!!!!

*Not Another Fad Diet – the Ugly Truth

Let's Get Physical

So not a real workout today, but we did have a really long walk to and from the graduation. Dad complained the whole way. Bless you dad!

My workout plan:

• M, W, F: Walk in morning with dad
• S, Su, W night: work out at gym with Adam
• T, Th: work out at gym with Lisa
  

Eating: Ugh. Well we decided to have cheat afternoon since we went to Golden Corral. Who can be good there right?

*Much Ado About Nothing

Holly Randomness….(because that's who I am folks)

Whats up Doc?

Blood pressure is very high still. 140/110, apparently that is concerning. I don't mean to make light of it. I'm a little scared about it actually, which doesn't really help the situation! That is why I went to see the doctor today. Luckily she said my glucose should be just fine. She is going to do some big time testing for me though just in case which makes me feel better.

She also thinks that I have sleep apnea so she is going to have someone contact me to do that testing. What a pain. Although that would explain and possibly eliminate the headaches and fatigue. But hello Darth Vadar mask. Sheesh could I be any more sexy at night? lolz

True Blood

I love this show!!!! We are watching season II now. I am do dark and twisted that I like this show seriously.

Gratz Briana!
The graduation was good-not too long actually, and here I was complaining. She is so awesome! I am so proud of her. She was one of the top graduates.

*Funny People

• Google Mishaps: So have you ever googled anything at work at got results you did not expect? You know you are laughing because you know we all have! So today I was trying to find a movie to use as a title in my blog and I very naively googled 'fat chick movies'. Go ahead-try it. Just make sure its not at work! On a COMPLETELY unrelated note………hmmm how much money could I make doing porn movies at home? Ha ha just kidding. I so would NEVER do that. Although I have to tell you an Italian guy at the gym once told me I could make millions on the internet just showing my butt. So tempting! Ha ha jk.
  
• Dear Me, The fact that you worked out this morning is NEGATED by the 10 pieces of chocolate you have eaten today. Snap out of it!!!! No one can make me stop eating chocolate, not even me….I mean, only I can make me stop eating chocolate. (ha ha, sounds like smoker commercials)…
  

*Not Another Fad Diet – the Ugly Truth

Let's Get Physical

This morning Lisa and I went to Gold's. Wahoo I love Lisa to pieces! We were there 40 minutes, and I was able to do 35 (elliptical) which surprised me as its been a while and I'm just getting back into working out.

Wow its been a long time since I've been to that gym! Last night we went to sign up and I hate when they ask you if you want a trainer and try to talk you into it. I just know they are thinking 'Look fat ass you REALLY need this.' Ha. Just because I'm a whale doesn't mean I don't know how to work out. So much of the money I have earned has gone towards various trainers. Just because I don't DO it, doesn't necessarily mean I don't KNOW it. LOL I'm retarded.

My workout plan: I'm going to go in the mornings on Tuesday and Thursdays with Lisa. Adam and I will go Saturday, Sunday, and Wednesday nights. Then I will go about 3-5 times walking with my dad at night. I just seriously need to kick it into high gear.

5 PM: I so don't want to go walking tonight but I'm going to do it…….BUT DON'T EXPECT ME TO BE HAPPY AND SING WHILE I DO IT OR ANYTHING!

Eating: Hey a girls gotta eat. Today I had my weekly treat-whole wheat waffles. I had spray butter and light syrup. Hey I can deal with that-its less calories and still tastes yummy. (Quick name this movie………'And in the morning, I'm making waffles!') This is being real. You can't have egg white omelettes every morning. That's not real. So I'm keepin' it real (hmm what movie is that from? I'm sure it has to be from one) Sadly after that I stopped at McDonald's and got their Mocha drink. I don't even want to know how many calories that is. NO MORE. It was all I could do to not get more food. Uggh why is it such a comfort when I'm tired, overworked (basically ANY excuse) to eat fattening food? I gotta figure this out.

But I didn't get extra food, and minus the mocha, I'm doing pretty good. Although I haven't had any water yet. Whoops! (Good thing I'm writing this down because it makes me think)

Cravings today: (Stupid period….btw have you see that Always commercial where the chick ends with saying 'Have a happy period.'…….yeah I want to throw something at her whenever its on. Maybe I should see a therapist about my anger issues with commercials. The only one worse than that is Carl Jr's Bikini Burger commercial. Yeah, chicks who eat those huge burgers can fit into bikinis like that my ass!)

• Chocolate
  
• Hamburgers
  
• Fries
  
• More chocolate
  
• Even more chocolate
  
• Ice cream
  
• Donuts..mmmm donuts!
  

*The Family Stone

Interview with a Vampire

So Laurie has an interview today with good old IHC…….oops ok I know they are Select Health now…who can keep up with these things!!! GO LAURIE…GO LAURIE. I'm sending good vibes your way!

And speaking of vampires, Adam and I totally got her addicted to True Blood. Not drinking blood or anything, but the tv show. And just a word of warning to the squeamish or , well 'moral' people of the world-don't watch it. It's vampire porn practically at its finest. I would die if my grandmother ever watched it with us lol.

The Other Sister

So I'm a bad sister. I need to call Jen and see how she is. We are both Newlyweds which is so fun! She is so jealous about Hailey and Max……bwa ha ha ha ha ha! Just kidding! But I love those dang kids!

I stayed at work so late last night I didn't even get to see the kids! Maybe I'll have them walk with Poopa and I tonight if possible.

Gratz Briana!
I hear she has a scholarship. If I'm bored in your graduation just remember I still love you! I'm sublimely proud of my nieces and nephews. I have the best in da world!

Alive

So did you ever see that movie where they eat eachother to stay alive? I know I'm morbid (and not just morbidly obese ha ha ha), but seriously do you think you could do it? Or would you just starve? I think about it a lot…..

Rat Race

Ughhhh. I really do love my job, which I realize is not apparent. I'm preparing for an upcoming webinar, along with 10 other things at the same time. Good times! If Paul and I could just clone ourselves about 7 times things would be great!

• Whispers: Why is it when you hear someone whispering you want more than anything in the world to hear what they are saying? I don't know if I'm worried they are talking about me, or if it's more that I just want to know the juicy gossip. (In all actuality they are probably just asking someone for a tampon)

*Funny People

• Max & Hailey: They keep pretending to be puppies. I'm throwing them pretend bones & petting their precious heads the other day when suddenly they both simultaneously lift up their (hind) leg and make a pee sound. Oh I nearly lost it (Laurie was pretty upset when she saw it later, understandably so but dear me still makes me laugh to think of it. Why is it so damn funny when kids are naughty?)
  
• Hailey: So on my birthday (last Friday-May 28^th), my niece that now lives with me says with a huge wide grin…."Happy Birthday Holly………you have a big butt!" Oh my stars I was laughing so hard! Hailey I will so tease you about that one day.
  
• Hailey (AGAIN!): Yeah Hailey IS the comedy section this time-go Hailey! So I'm helping her on the potty (basically because she is 3 years old and tiny that she would fall in the toilet if you didn't hold her up she would fall inside and probably get flushed away) and she says I have a big tummy and after a closer inspection says "Wow, you big all over Holly." While I was trying to regain my composure she asks inquisitively "Why you so big Holly?" And you could tell she just honestly wanted to know! Why are people so big? I'm racking my brain as to the appropriate response for her age, like 'well I eat too many twinkies' or something like that and then she says "Oh I know………did you drink too much water?" And I quickly said "Yes, that's it exactly!"
  

  
   

  Ah hell I'm gonna be a terrible mother! (I did tell Laurie so she could tell her the truth lol)
  

  
   

*Not Another Fad Diet – the Ugly Truth

Well I'm still determined to beat this! I refuse to get up, oh whoops I meant give up! Lol. That actually really was a typo but perhaps that's my problem lol (or at least one of the many)

Fast and Furious

So yeah my last endeavor to diet was the 6 week body makeover. I can't begin to tell you how excited I was about this diet! I was determined to make it work and bought it and read the whole program and well, the long and the short of it is that I lasted THREE WEEKS.

Fight Club

I think I learned something though. It has to be a life change. I just can't stick to something really restrictive. I was caught in a pickle. On one hand, I couldn't be patient enough to lose it slowly - the right way. I wanted to do something where I saw faster results to keep me going. The problem with losing it slow is just that. It's so damn slow. Hard to get all excited about a pound when you are nearly 400 pounds. Just sayin……

So here are my new guidelines:

• Drink 100 ounces water daily
  
• 6 small meals-mostly protein & vegetables (less carbs)
  

I'LL KEEP YOU UPDATED!

 

*The Family Stone

It has been a wild and crazy ride lately!

The Graduate

So this year Nick (Adam's brother) and Briana (my niece) are graduating. Congrats you guys! Sadly their presents have not yet arrived-ugh. So sorry!

BTW can't they do something to speed these things up a little? Can't they just run or something? Does the principal really have to talk for an hour? Could there be more entertainment-Jugglers? Clowns? Feed the drop-outs to lions? SOMETHING PLEASE! And attention people who are speaking-please don't google graduation speeches and use the first few good quotes-WE'VE HEARD THEM ALREADY!

Bride Wars

Oh wow! So many weddings! Yeah. I could write a novel about how complicated planning a wedding can be! Congrats to all the newlyweds:

• Alisa (cousin)
  
• Rachel (cousin)
  
• Me & Adam
  
• Jen (sister) & Chad
  
• Stephanie (ex-step sister)
  
• Megan & Tom (engaged)
  

And there are more on Adam's side! Craziness. Adam and I like to think we started a trend!

Wild Things

Ok seriously the most exciting thing (well you know besides wedding DUH) is that Laurie moved in! I love Max & Hailey (nephew & niece) and they are a DELIGHT to live with. They play games with us and have the cutest imaginations ever. And yeah, can't say no to them (again-I'm so gonna be a bad mom-the pushover kind)

The Great Outdoors

Over Memorial Day we had our big bash up at Milcreek Canyon.

The highlights:

• Dad hiking with us, moaning the whole way (kudos to you dad)
  
• Watching the kids play with the bubble wands we (Adam & I) got them
  
• We have almost as many dogs as kids now (makes me want one-I so want a Rhodesian Ridgeback one day)

Randomness….

Knocked Up

Ok facebook friends, it was an error in judgement to post anything about pregnancy. And just to clarify again, no I'm NOT pregnant…..I just LOOK like I am pregnant. I look like I'm pregnant in the belly-actually both bellies, and in my ass. Triplets maybe?

Endless Love

Can I just say I have the most patient man in the entire world? I love him so much, even though he doesn't know how to shut cupboards or put dirty clothes in the hamper. I think my list of annoying habits is so much longer!!!! God bless you Adam.

35 Going on 25

Yeah I had a birthday again. Damn can't Adam start looking older? Well I decided I'm 25 now, not 35. Sounds so much better to me. All those in favor? Good!

Rat Race

Work smirk. I can't even think about it right now. J I do love my job, just super busy lately! I am really grateful for it!
