TGIF

You would think from that title that this post is going to be something about Friday but that would imply that I plan out what I'm going to say. I don't. I have such a hard time coming up with titles, that just seemed like the easiest thing to say! (It's now Tuesday and I'm still working on this post!)

Last week(now two weeks ago) was a lovely one. My parents were visiting and spending quality time with their granddaughter. It was nice to see. E is talking a lot now and repeating words (note to self: watch the F-word) so we got her to practice "Nana" (easier than grandma) and "Granddad" and my parents loved it. She was only shy with them for a few minutes and pretty soon was all over my dad. E has a thing for men. She does. My pop-psychology brain says it's because she's around women all day at school. Anyhow, she goes after all the dads. Flirts, etc. Anyhow, that was great - we told her to practice saying "Granddad, $10?" but she wouldn't bite. Maybe at Christmas!

I'm still going on WW. You may have noticed that I've stopped writing about my losses. That's because I'm stuck around the 158lb mark. I really need to start tracking my food again, with guests visiting and a couple of "date" nights, I wasn't keeping great track which means I was probably going way over. Now, 5 days after I originally started posting this, I'm way off track. Tack on a cold and no workouts, eating comfort food and trying to feel better and I'm sure I've gone overboard. It's amazing how it only takes a few days to start feeling like a slug and actually enjoying sleeping in. I really have to keep up with the workouts and running to keep my weight down. Something about this time of year though - getting ready to cover up and be cold all year just tends to make me want to put on a layer... of fat. ;)

I am totally bummed because I had to miss seeing G when she was in town last weekend. I swear if I wasn't such a happy person these days, I'd think the world was conspiring against me that I didn't get to meet G, Ang and RG at The Melting Pot for dinner. I love fondue and I love those ladies and its just the pits that I got a cold. Seems we've all got it. First E, then me and now M. I want to get healthy fast, if nothing so that I can play with girl. It's so hard to do anything with a sinus headache! Hopefully one more day of recovery and I can get back to the gym too.

Not much going on here lately. Getting ready (which means at least we are aware of it) for E's birthday on Saturday. No parties because it doesn't really make sense for a 2 yr old to have a party, although there will be plenty of gatherings no doubt and we'll make her feel like a princess on her day... now if I can just get her to say "Two" when I ask how old she'll be on her birthday. I'm sure that will arrive sooner than I think.

Bye for now.

We missed you too.

WAAAAAAAhhhhh...it just wasn't any fun without you.

Ok, maybe it was really, really fun, but it would have been so much MORE fun if only you were there.

I'm sad I didn't get to see you, but it seems that we've worked it out more than I'd ever have imagined...so, I'll catch ya' next time!

I can NOT believe E is turning TWO! Ohmygosh!

I hope you're all feeling better so you can shower the little princess with love and happiness.
:)

Like G, I can't believe that E is going to be two! It seems like just yesterday we were reading about your pregnancy.

The Melting Pot? SSC and I went there on my birthday and it was a lot more fun than I imagined. It took FOREVER to eat (not a bad thing) and we were stuffed. Still, you are cooking your own food so you'd think they'd give you a discount for that...

We really did miss you! We thought about splitting the bill by 4 and sending you your bill- but decided that was mean.

Two? wow. Time really flies, doesn't it? I still can't believe my kids got so old so fast. It boggles my mind.

I hope you're feeling LOADS better by now.

xoxo

Two already? Seriously? Where does the time go...

Hope you're feeling a lot better and all that jazz! ;)

Two, she is going to be TWO. Time goes by so fast!

As far as your weight I am really proud of you. When I cared and struggled with mine and had the energy to do it. I did TBK to lose the last 10 pounds. But now I am a lazy cow and could care. But I am cheering on the sidelines for you!!!

I think I might have an extra copy here somewhere. If I do I will be happy to get it in the mail for you.

Please note that me suggesting that I would give you the video implies anything about your weight or not trying.
