A lot has changed in my house in the
last few months. The Sister has gone back to the Hell that is
Houston, The Boogie Bear has started walking AND is now up to 4 teeth
total! The Boy is in Boy Scouts, The Munchkin is demanding to go to
school with her brother and the Husband is still working non-stop.
It took a while for our house to get
back to normal once The Sister left, but we are finally a family unit
once more. Now, that we are back to normal...or at least as normal as
we can be, I felt it was time to work on me! So, a few girlfriends
and I have started a weight loss challenge! We are all happy with our
curves...cause you know, gotta have curves. We just want to be
healthier. We figure if losing a few pounds will get us that, then by
all means, let's drop those bitches!! Our fitness challenge is a bit
different than most. We aren't just going off of weight loss. We are
going off of body percentage lost.
The Husband is also working on changing
something about him for the better...he is quitting smoking! For
reals this time, not for play play. We get to be cranky together!!
Him from not getting a cigarette, me from not getting the
deliciousness that is bacon on a regular basis.
Ultimately, we will both be healthier
for ourselves and for our family. We worked too hard to have a
family, don't want to leave them unnecessarily early.
Now for the hard part. Actually getting
off my ass and working out! I'm a broke bitch so a gym membership is
out of the question. I do however have a mean ass Wii Fit Board.
Thankfully, my baby girls love going to the park with Mommy, so
walking the trails with them won't be an issue. My issue comes from
this...I have something that is called PCOS * if
you deal with infertility, you know what it is, or have at least
heard of it before * It stands for Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. My
hormones are out of whack and my body doesn't like to ovulate on it's
own...simplified definition. But, because of my hormones being out of
whack, I have to literally work 3 times harder than the average woman
to lose weight. The challenge is going to be fun, but will be a lot
of work and I see some frustration as well. 70 pounds is lot of
weight to lose!! Here's hoping it all melts off like butter!
MMMMMM.....Butter
