Richard, where are you when I need you?


Lately I have been feeling that their is a thin woman deep down inside of me--screaming at the top of her lungs and is trying to get out. I just seem to keep feeding her all the goodies to shut her up. Then I look in the mirror--and say, "Wow...you have been having fun." Chase and I are on spring break, and we decided to have a stay-cation, and have are very own restaurant tour. Sound fun!? Here is my confession since I've discovered the Jumbo Jack: I love food. It comforts me, and it makes me feel good inside, until it starts clogging my arteries. And I say to myself, "I shouldn't have eaten that. It cost me a double chin." And the candies I find around the house--its like a video game-- I throw them away--and I feel good--and you automatically lose 2 pounds!! That's what I am talking about!!! We actually have to "work" for food. I've been on bed rest, and that has been my excuse for my muffin top and flabby arms. I did Richard Simmons--and lost some weight, then it was Thanksgiving and Christmas, and now I am fighting to lose it. It is so hard!!!! Chase can eat anything, and he is skinny!!! I always say, that the next day is going to be a good day, and I can start all over. I got a 3 month free membership at the gym...and I love it! (when I go...) I did good my first 2 months, then March--Carter has been teething, and sick, and now its spring break, and I don't want to interrupt my restaurant tour. This week, is making me want to exercise and be healthy! Whoo!!! Starting next week, my goal for the rest of my life starts now....to be healthy...and to be in shape. So, good bye muffin top, flabby arms, and double chin...and hello to fitness!!!!!

Metal Mouth:Duration 2 years


That's right. Chase got braces. He was counting down the days until he got them, (not because of excitement but he feared what would be the next delicious, hearty meal he would eat again without hurting.) Last Monday, he chowed down on a sourdough jack, and some curly fries. (Wish I was there. :) At 11 'O clock precisely, he was in the dental chair, turning into a brace face...a very cute brace face. When he got home, he could barley chew my hearty meal that I made for him. Later that day, I found out the orthodontist put something on the back of his two front teeth, and he CAN NOT chew or bite down at all...so he has been drinking ALL his meals...and getting skinny. (May be I should get braces--and be on the same fun diet as Chase!) He eats: Yogurt, smoothies, ice cream, soups, anything he can drink. The not-chewing-syndrome will be like that for another month or so and they will take it off. It has been a week, and I can already tell they are getting straighter. Pain is gain and pain is BEAUTY! GO CHASE! I love making soups, and now I get the opportunity to make any soup, stew or chowder I want!!!!!!!! YESSSS!
