So it's new years and guess what I am thinking about along with every other 30 or 40 somethin' mom in this country? Yes, that's right...I'm thinking my ass is too big for my jeans and I don't want to celebrate in such a big fat suite next year. And I'm really feeling motivated to do it now...excuse me I need to take a hit off my brownine...this time will be different, this time I will attack this seriously and really do what I set my mind on. Oh, what ever...the worst part about this new longing to be thin is that it is so darn cliche"ish" I mean me and every other fat butt will be at the gym next week...we will all be telling ourselves this is the last time we are going to "start" working out...we will all be telling ourselves that this time is different...we will all be telling ourselves that "we are the biggest loser!"
Part of me doesn't even want to go to the gym next week because all those people who were working out in November will be looking at me wondering when I will quit and stop coming and taking their machines. And, I don't blame them...dang...I used to be one of them.
Oh, I wonder how many blogs are talking about the same thing right now? Anyway, I told Laura, aka Hot Momma, that instead of doing Taco Bell with her at lunchtime, we should meet at the gym and work out together instead. I think that is brilliant! We still get to be together and talk but now we will be decreasing our girth instead of increasing it. Here's hoping this works.
It doesn't start until January 2 and then on January 3 I leave for a long weekend vacation...so I'm getting a slow start...but really, shouldn't a woman be proud of what she sees in the mirror. Shouldn't a woman want her husband to see her naked during sex instead of insisting that the lights be turned way down. Shouldn't I like clean jeans instead of cursing the fact that they are gonna be so uncomforatable until I break them in. No ice cream or candy bar or browinie can taste so good that I would be willing to sacrafice my happiness should it? It's a cliche', I've been here before, BUT maybe this time is different?
So hum along with me..."Let's get physical, physical. I wanna get physical, physical."

I'm with ya... I've been trying to lose the pregnancy weight for so long and just stalled right at Halloween... uh, yeah, it was pretty smart to not eat all day to make up for the few pieces of candy I'd eat while trick-or-treating - stupid. I just pigged out because i was hungry and never gained my discipline back.
We're getting our family pictures taken in February so I WILL lose 10 of the last 15 pounds by then. I WILL.
BTW - You crack me up. What did Laura say to your new lunch time plan? Did she laugh? I would have:)
Good luck on that losing that extra weight...my baby is two now and when I was pregnant with him I swore I would lose that weight right away...yah right...so good luck...no one wants to take a picture in a size you don't feel comfortable in...
I'm still trying to lose the baby weight, and my baby is 8! So I guess I can't say that anymore... the truth stares me down - "Carol, it's not baby weight; it's the fact you are overweight.... stop eating the crap! stop eating the crap!" I'll work out doing my pilates and army boot camp if you two commit going to the gym!
Everyone must wait til Sept to do it with me. I have already declared Labor Day Weekend 2007 my own personal Mardi Gras. Then I will go back to WW so my mother in law won't make anymore comments about me. Like she's a size 6 or something. . .
Jen,
I will only wait until January 6! You got yourself pregnant...but I'm not goning there with you! I'll be your WW coach and cheer you on...until then please eat and indulge for me...I promise to drink many many martinis for you.
wow, jen. mommy brain says you got yourself pregnant. that takes talent! how did you do that?
mommy brain, i am with you! it is cliche-ish, but who cares? if so many people do/say the same thing, then there must be something to it, right?
"...let me hear your body talk, your body talk..." (ok, nevermind. that doesn't sound good...)
