Girls Night Our Pic.... Finally

I FINALLY got this pic from my friend. This was us stuffing our faces on cheese fries at the Training Table before we saw Twilight on opening night, which was a couple of weeks ago.

I've done pretty well today... I even packed a baggie of baby carrots and a baby cucumber to munch on at work and I PROMISE I'm working out tonight!

Man, My Abs Are Sore!

I did 15 minutes on my upper body and 25 minutes on my abs tonight and I'm totally feelin' it.

Besides the pain, I'm feeling muscles as I'm flexin' my tummy during my workout! There's a tight little tummy in there somewhere hiding behind the flub :)

Question...

What do the rest of you say to a man in the Walmart parking lot when he asks you, "You like tamales?"

I know what I say. "How much?"

Mmmmm and they were so tasty.

Crazy

Ya know how you're standing in line at the store and you're reading the magazine headlines and you think, man it's so crazy how they have the story on "You can lose 20 lbs in a week" right next to the story called "Top 10 Chocolate Cake Recipes"?

I was thinking today, I'm just like those magazines. I have my weight loss struggles blog and my American Homemaker blog. No wonder I'm fat...LOL. I LOVE LOVE LOVE to cook and bake (and eat).

Anyways.... just a random thought.

Sad Sad Day

I fell off the wagon over the holiday :(

It's so crazy that one week of eating crappy and not exercising and I GAIN!!! Not that I stay the same! I GAIN! Makes me wanna cry.

I now have 2 inches to lose on my waist before Christmas and an inch everywhere else. Excuse me now while I go jump on the wagon :(

Mmmmm

Ben, Skye, me :), Hubby

We double-dated last night and had a lot of fun, we watched a show at the Desert Star Theater and ate way too much yummy food. And Thanksgiving dinner was soooooo good. Yum yum. I had four pieces of pie :) And it made me happy.... lol

Since three of the four people in this picture are tracking their weight loss on this blog I thought I'd share what we all look like. The boxes contain the remains of our two streusels we ordered last night... Wow... they were like 12 inch dessert pizzas. I sent the leftovers home with my friends because I sure didn't want them at my house, especially since there would soon be pie. Skye ate streusel for breakfast today, but Ben was a good boy and just had cereal. Yah!

Vintage Weight Loss Tips

In this 1963 ad, we can all learn how to keep trim without dieting :) It's as simple as avoiding the 10 most fattening foods: bacon, sausage, butter, cream, ice cream, olives, peanuts, salad dressing, chocolate and pastry. And we should eat as much as we like of fish, lean meat and vegetables. And of course, Melba Toast! I don't know about you, but that sounds like a diet to me.

Now this on the other hand sounds like the way to go for me :) Let's have ice cream or other sugar-filled items before lunch so we don't overeat... What a plan!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!
