Bowling burns calories?!

So yesterday I pretty much worked out all day. I played for hours at the park with the P'nut. And by play I mean I climbed stairs and ran after her...and sat on the swing! That surely burned some calories. I wonder if it was enough to compensate for the Burger King kids meal I ate after the park!? Ugh! Damn the french fries! Those delicious, golden, hot, crispy, salty, carby bits of fried heaven! My absolute favorite food in the whole wide world!!

After the park, we came home and played a bit in the yard. Then I cleaned and vacuumed my car. Around 7, we were off to bowling!

According to thedailyplate.com, bowling for 3 hours burned 1269 calories! That seems incredibly high! Let's divide that by 4 since I bowl with 3 other people and surely they burned some calories too!


I had a very good calorie burning day yesterday. And then today, I'm on my butt on the couch!

New Moon, Eclipse, Breaking Dawn & NSV

Yes. Yes, I read the Twilight series. I've watched New Mood on DVD and then I had to read Eclipse and Breaking Dawn, again! If you've never read them, I highly recommend!! I watched New Moon on Monday and had to read Eclipse again. Then after Eclipse, I had to read Breaking Dawn again. Breaking Dawn is 700+ pages and I read it in 2 days. That's just sick! I'm 32 years old and totally in love with teenage vampires!

Anywhoo...on with the weight loss or lack there of! I had a 1cc fill on Monday and I've lost a half a pound. Thank you TOM for visiting the same week as the fill, Bastard!!! Between TOM and that satanic scale, I want to force weight loss by self liposuction with my Dyson!

I did have a NSV though....Shannon and I had $40 in Kohls cash to spend along with a 15% off coupon...couldn't let those go to waste! We went shopping yesterday. I bought a shirt...a NON PLUS SIZE SHIRT!! It's an XL but it's a regular size. I wore it today. I have big ladies on the top, not like Amy W's big lady tukey-ish bits! :) I have big girls. And to be able to fit the girls into an XL top is the greatest thing!

Here's a little background...I could almost always find pants in the "normal" size section after losing like 20 pounds. I could almost always get jeans at Old Navy, 18s or 20s but I couldn't fit their XXL shirts. I'm built upside down. I'm bigger on the top, 44 DD boobies and back fat to spare but no real butt or hips. One of my goals was to be able to buy a shirt in any store. I don't think i'm quite there yet, but I'm definitely on my way and that makes me so happy and way more motivated!!

Well, it's late and I'm sleepy. I was bowling night and I've had a couple cocktails! I'm a bit tipsy and way sleepy!

G'night my band of blog buddies. Hugs, Kisses and Sweet Dreams! :)

At least there's coffee

I had yogurt for breakfast 2 hours ago and i'm starving! It's yet another food day here in the land of cubicles but someone brought a jug of starbucks coffee, so I get to have that. I could eat a spoonful of humus but Im not big on chick peas.

So I'm hiding in a conference room far away from the food madness by my desk.

Today is just a glum day. It's foggy and rainy and stormy outside. I actually had to pull over on my way in today because the rain was so heavy. Maybe I'm sad that I won't be able to do my run/walk with the p'nut after work. Maybe I need some real food! Ugh! I really hope this fill works for me.

I'm so anxious to get to my sweet spot and continuosly lose weight. I seem to go in chunks lately. Big loss...than nothing. I feel great. My pants are hanging off my butt which is awesome and I want to shop but after I lose the next chuck, the new pants won't fit anymore.

I think I may make an appointment with the nutritionist. Why am I losing in chunks? I'll lose 4-5 pounds in 10 days and then nothing for the next 20. I guess I shouldn't complain but I'm kind of stalled already too. I've lost 33 pounds as of my weigh in yesterday at the docs office. That's awesome but I really really REALLY want more!!

I've totally rambled this post. I'm just in a funk today, I guess. Maybe I'll go out for lunch and check out TJ Maxx see if I can find some new pants? I'll see what CPL (crazy pregnant lady) wants to do. I'm sure she'll want to eat and I can watch her eat.

Ugh! SNAP OUT OF IT MICHELE! I can run and walk in the rain, right?

1 cc..that's it?

Got gota mini fill. I can feel it though. At least I think I can. I've only had water so far and i'm kind of neasous.

I'll post tomorrow and let ya'll know how the day of liquids is going...

Sore booty and new shoes and blue toes! - LONG!

Whoo! What a weekend! Super fantastic, full of madness weekend just passed. I need a weekend after my weekend! And why does my bicep hurt? I don't understand...

Soooo Friday I had work, of course. I went to work where pregnant, crazy, boss, bf, carpool buddy had a really bad day and actually yelled at me for work related stuff. Then I fed her lunch and she was better! We shared an egg salad sandwhich and some Munchos. Feeding the pregnant woman is the way to fix her! Shannon and the p'nut met us for lunch. We went to the park. It was so nice out! 80 degrees and sunny! I ran around the park with p'nut and then had to go back to work all sweaty but it was so worth it!

After work, crazy pregnant lady and I went to the mall. CPL(crazy pregnant lady) is my stylist and always makes me buy things that actually fit. I've always bought and worn shirts one size too big because God forbid the shirt touched my muffin top! Shannon and I had a wedding to go to on Saturday and I NEEDED a dress! My staple skirt is too big and my staple shirt has already been handed down to my sister. So, Macy's!!! I love an excuse to shop!

I fount 2 dresses. 2!! I can never find a dress that looks good! NEVER! OMG! I'm so happy! LOVE LOVE LOVE the dress I found. And of course I needed shoes too. LOVE LOVE LOVE the shoes! And then I needed a wrap/scarf to cover up with.

This is the dress....

Satuday I had to go get my mani/pedi and get my eyebrows waxed. I was beginning to look like Burt from Sesame Street. I went to Famous Footwear and found the Avia version of the MBT or Sketcher rocker walking shoes. LOVE LOVE LOVE!! I can totally feel it in my butt! Then I went to Kohls. Shannon called me and said I needed to come home. P'nut went in the pantry to get a snack and a can of Mandarin Oranges fell on her toe. Her big toe nail is purple now. My poor poor baby! Her chin is all better and now her toe is jacked up! She can walk but she walks on the side of her foot to baby her big toe.

We went to the wedding and had a great time. Then came home and did the bunny thing. P'nut ended up sleeping with us. She had a VERY bad night and I'm thinking her toe was the culprit!

Sunday we woke up and went on an egg hunt around the house. Since it was so nice out we went to the park. Then went for breakfast. At breakfast we decided to take a quick train ride. Riley LOVES the train. So, Riley and I rode the train. We got on at one stop and got off at the next. Then we came home and got ready to go to my sister's for Easter dinner.

My butt is sore from my new Avia rocker shoes. I got new cute shoes too and my kid has a blue toe.

I HAVE MY 2ND FILL TODAY!! I'm so happy becuase I'm so hungry and I need some help!!

What did I say?

I have no clue what I put in the earlier blog and I know I won't be near as witty in the replay...

I've been sick..blah blah blah. I know that was in there. Riley got her stitches out and now has those Steri-Strip things holding her boo boo together. It used to be a fight to get a band-aid on and now she's like Fifty-Cent wearing it as a fashion statement - she doesn't want to take it off!


So along with me being sick came eating for comfort and boredom. Now, I don't eat alot of things but I do eat all the wrong things! Ice Cream...ok it's low fat, light blah blah blah but it's ice cream! Popcorn. Not horrible on it's own, air popped and tasting like cardboard but that's not what I'm snaking on. Bring on the butter or the kettle corn....Hold on, I'm drooling! Ok, took a sip of water to stop salivating. Pretzels. My #1 enemy. I can eat an entire box of those hard Snyders Sour dough pretzels. OH MY GOD! I love to chip a tooth on those bad boys! And well, let's face it...when your sick with the sniffles, sneezes, sinus head ache from hell, ouchy ears and the poops that come along with the antibiotics, you eat whatever you want.

The scale wasn't too bad to me but I did run around like a mad woman at the bounce house on Saturday. Riley had a birthday party for her "boyfriend" and I swear I went down the bouncy slide more than she did. It was awesome! Best work out ever! They should make adult bounce house places...make the bouncy things bigger and market it as a workout facility...hmmm, That's not a bad idea....

Here's a pic of all of us on the big slide. I'm all the way on the right with Riley in my lap. My sister is the one all the way on the left. My bro-inlaw is behind her with my nephew and then Shannon next to me.
So any who...Yesterday I had a trade show to attend and that's a work out too. I was sweating like a piggie! And it was BEAUTIFUL outside! It's georgous again today and it's supposed to be amazing again tomorrow. Riley just wants to be outside all the time and I'm totally game for that!!

This is my little Tom Boy outside in her boy's Thomas t-shirt! Have I ever told you all how addicted my DAUGHTER is to Thomas the train? Addicted! A-DIC-TID! She will only wear Thomas "panties" and if you know anything about Thomas the train, they don't make girls Thomas unders. So, my little girl where's boy's undewear. Yes, the gay moms put their daughter in boy unders. My kid is going to have such a complex! She does carry a purse though. She carries a purse all the time. You want to know what's in her purse? TRAINS! That's right! Thomas, Percy, James, Emily, Molly, Rosie...all of them are in the purse!

So I'm down 2.5 pounds in 2 weeks. Eh...that's ok. I get my next fill on Monday. Thank god!!! I've been good today...so far but I do plan on doing a little bit of running/walking tonight since it's SOOOO nice outside. Maybe I can drop another pound before Monday.

AHHHH

I had a whole post typed out and it's gone! Where did it go? UGH!

Longer post coming soon but I have to work...YUCK!
