For the past two weeks we had family visiting from London. (Holla M&M and The British!) We had a great time but the drinking, oooohhh, all the drinking and eating. Too much eating. It had to end! I never thought I would be looking forward to going back on my diet, but I am.
So here's a diet update--It's slow but there has been progress. I have lost a good solid 8 pounds. I was hoping for more by this point but I have to face the fact that I am older and have no air brushing at my disposal. On the bright side, I am down to one chin and inches have been lost. I have not been able to drop to the lower size in pants yet; however, the size I wear is very loose on me. Let's just say that my butt crack will definitely be needing some SPF 30 soon.
I have also been exercising, Ack! I am allergic to exercise but the drinking helps me through it. I go to a ladies' gym with my mom. The weight machines are set up in a circle and we cycle through them twice and then we're done. I hate to brag but I am probably the strongest and most energetic of anyone at the gym. Of course most of the women at the gym are about 20 to 30 years older than me. But hey, I'm kicking their ass!!
So here I was feeling good about myself until yesterday.
Sage "Can we go to the pool today?"
Me "No, I'm not ready to get into a bathing suit just yet."
Sage "Because you're fat?"
Actually, I was thinking more of the body hair situation than the fat situation.
Shepard chimed in, "Why are you fat, Mommy?"
Sage "Shepard, Mommy's not fat. She's not!"
Yeah, whatever, he just wanted to go to the pool, the little liar.
Countdown...25 days until my 20th high school reunion. Will I drop a size? Will my butt crack peel? Will the ladies at my gym make it to the end of the month? Will my boys ever develop any tact? Will I throw my scale from a tall building, beat it with a bat, scream at it, spit on it and then try to weigh again? Is the suspense killing you? Stay tuned.

I suggest waxing.
I was doing good on my diet and drop 8 then gained 5. I need more incentive.
Weights are one of the best ways to drop weight once you get some muscle tone. People don't understand that ... but you do ... Shepard and Sage need timeout and burned butt cracks.

I hear ya on the weight deal and the body hair! I have to get into a bathing suit sometime in July, and I really don't wanna!
