Merry December

I love December! You know what else I love??? That new Beyonce song "Single Ladies" I know I'm 12...but seriously, it makes me want to get up and exercise! Speaking of exercise...my scale is so stoked I'm down 20 lbs but my jeans are still screaming "Don't you dare try to fit that booty in here!" Not that exercise had anything to do with losing that first 20. Now its the last 20 (yeah, yeah, you do the math... I gained an awesome 40 lardo pounds!) that is going to require the exercise, flax seed, egg whites and protein shakes! Dang...my days of cheeseburgers and chocolate shakes have finally come to an end. Oh well at least it's December!

(How about that for a STRING of thoughts?? Can you tell I got ZERO sleep last night?)

Beautiful tree! I hear you on the losing weight. I have now officially outgrown all of my dress pants. I wonder how long I can get away with sneaking jeans in when I don't feel like wearing a skirt. Yikes!

Jen, that picture rocks!!! I wish I were still your neighbor so you could recreate it with my hoodlums and I'd use it as my Christmas card! :) I totally agree with your whole post by the way, I am unfortunately looking at a little more then 20 lbs! wish me luck and I'll wish you luck too!

You know I am so sad that I am not your VT anymore. Makes me even more sad that I don't have an excuse to come and see that awesome tree.

Congrats on the 20! That's awesome. Shhhhhhh...but I gained nearly 50 with each and every one of my turkeys.

When you're ready, you're welcome to wake up before the butt crack of dawn and go running with me.

Thanks for the reminder! I've forgotten my handful of supplements to take today...Flaxseed oil, cinnamon, calcium, B Stress, who knows what else...but I want to about vomit every time I take them. Blech!

That picture is beautiful! And I'd say the exercise would make a perfect New Years Resolution! Enjoy the Egg Nog while you can!!! ha ha

wow! That looks like a modern-day Norman Rockwell portrait! It's gorgeous! I hope you have a very Merry Christmas with your three beautiful boys. By the way, I have plenty of flaxseed recipes for chocolate chip cookies if you ever need them... :)

From another 12 year old....Have you ever heard Jordan Sparks/Chris Brown, No Air? Love that one too and the new one by Britney....Womanizer. I think of these as "Stuck in my head" songs.

Ok... have you seen the "Single Ladies" clip from SNL with Beyonce and Justin Timberlake as one of her back-up dancers (in a leotard)? F-U-N-N-Y stuff.. check it out :) Good job on the 20 lbs... I think you sent it to me. As soon as I find out I'm pregnant, my brain tells me "eat WHATEVER you want!!" NOT good.

I love your tree and that picture, I can hardly wait to learn from the master how to take awesome pictures. You have always looked good so I wouldn't stress on the weight, the chocolate shakes might miss you.

Love ya!

I love this picture. I couldn't tell at first if it was a real picture or not! Wow !
He at least you have an excuse for gaining 40 lbs! I need to loose that and I haven't even had a kid. Oh well-

Rachelle said...

I did a lovely 40 lbs too and I'm too afraid to find out how much I'm down because I don't think it is much. Do you think I should update my blog because we're still golfing in the summer... Maybe next week! Hey, weren't we supposed to meet at the jumping place last week? My brain is non-functioning so we'll have to reschedule. Love you! PS That is an amazing picture. HOW DO YOU DO THAT?
