Ewwww

Well...first of all, I'm FAT. So I've started dieting...AGAIN. I know, if I would just not go on a pig-out binge for 6 months, I wouldn't need to diet and I wouldn't have this fluctuating weight problem. But guess what...I LOVE to eat!!!!! So, I tend to go overboard from time to time. But, I'll lose it, I know I will. And I have my best bud Amanda to help me stick to it!!! She came up with a brilliant plan to keep us accountable since we live so far away from each other. We are taking pictures of ourselves in some not-so-flattering outfits and emailing them to each other every two weeks. That way, we can tell if we've lost weight or not!!! We took our first pictures yesterday and I am thoroughly disgusted with myself. If you're looking for some motivation to lose that weight...put on your tightest clothes and take a picture of yourself! YUCK! lol

Mackinley is growing growing growing!!! He's walking 90% of the time now...still crawls a bit but he's trying to switch to solely walking. He says "uh oh", "Dada", "hi", "bye", and "hello". If you say "SO BIG!!!" to him, he puts his little arms straight up in the air over his head. And when his food is all gone, he holds his hands out like they're empty. Oh, and he gives out the sweetest kisses EVER!!!

Jason and I have so many shows we're addicted to watching!!! We watched all of Season 1 of "Dexter" (thanks Kelly!!!!)...we LOVE that show (some of you, like my mother, would hate it, so don't ask!!! haha)!!! We've been watching Seasons 1 & 2 of "The Office". Ok, all I have to say is I think the writers of that show met my old boss and fashioned Michael after him. I won't go in to more detail, but if you know who I'm talking about, I'm sure you just may agree with me!!!! That show is freaking hilarious, it brings tears to my eyes sometimes!!! Other times, I'm just disturbed by the similarities it has with my old workplace. And the third show we're addicted to is "24". We're a bit behind the times since we've only seen the first two episodes of Season 1 but we're already hooked!!! Thank goodness for DVD's!!!!!

Ok, I think I'm done for now. I hope everyone has a great week and good luck on your resolutions!!!!

First of all, thanks for not putting those "disgusting" pictures on the blog!

I can empathize. For some reason, right after Thanksgiving, I gained 5 pounds! and we didn't even have a big dinner - go figure.

I know so many people who love "24." We may have to rent it ourselves!

Char said...

Oops! Sooo sorry! I empathize, anyway!

I am so with you on the weight thing. I'm hoping by spring break, I'll be back to "my normal".

I'm tellin' ya, we ARE twins. I'm amazed at all the similiarities of our lives.

Weird.

How far back can I go? Can I play if I say I want to go back to what I weighed before I got pregnant with John? That would be about 30 pounds - A little more in the ball park!

Yeah, I think I have gained like a pound over the last year and I eat like a pig! Doughnuts, cake, ice cream steaks....... Okay, maybe I gain like 2 pounds right after I eat but then it just goes away. :)
Oh and did I mention I don't even exercise?

Yeah, its okay to hate me!

Moooo from Wisconsin. You know you miss me Keri!!! ;)

Actually, I DO miss you, Mr. Smart Mouth.

Yeah, like "losing my baby fat" doesn't refer to the weight we lost between ages 2 and 3.
