SPT – Something Old

Lelly went back into the vault this month’s spt challenge:

• Tuesday, May 5 something old
• Tuesday, May 12 something new
• Tuesday, May 19 something borrowed
• Tuesday, May 26 something blue

take it literally, take it figuratively, but by all means, make a commitment to complete all four challenges for the month of may!

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Up in the top of my closet there is this box.

In it are some old pairs of jeans that I can’t seem to let go of. I wore these when Big Daddy and I started dating. It wasn’t that long ago…just 14 years and 5 kidlets ago.

I have reached a very depressing point in my struggle with my weight. I weigh as much as I did when I looked like this:

And I am not carrying another human being right now.

I don’t think I will ever be back into those old jeans, my body has changed just way too much. But I do realize that I am at a point that I need to make some real changes so maybe I can add the jeans that I am wearing now to the box…just to remember where I have been.

Fat Butt Friday

Ok I will admit it Fat Butt Friday got a little off track the month of February. How can you lose weight with Turtle Cheesecake, Valentine Brownies, leftover Valentine candy that didn't get handed out at school, Chocolate Mousse Cake from AJ's, Blue & Gold cakes and more Dr Pepper than one person should ever consume.

Oh and the fact that I didn't get off my Fat Butt and exercise!

This time I am really serious!

(I hope)

Fat Butt Friday

I think for the next few Fridays I am just going to tell you what not to eat if you want to lose weight. Like this:

This is the dessert I made last night for Valentine's Day.

Super simple. It is just a brownie cut out with a heart shaped cookie cutter and I used the leftover Heath bits and chocolate and caramel syrup.

(Even eating stuff like this I did lose 1lb last week.)

Fat Butt Friday

I can't even talk about it this week!

**Sigh**

And my birthday is in two weeks and I plan on eating Chocolate Cake.

Hopefully a Chocolate Cake from AJ's. Like this:

(I am really in trouble)

Fat Butt Friday

Well this is embarrassing - I gain a pound this week!

I guess before you put yourself out there about losing weight you should really make sure you are motivated to do the work. And this last week I wasn't - and the scale reflected it. So here I am humbled and ready to commit to the work - and eating less.

(Big Daddy, No more late night ice cream for me --

and I don't even really like ice cream!)

Fat Butt Friday

Welcome to Fat Butt Friday.

I am going to attempt to lose weight -- again. I had lost about 10lbs this fall and was doing a good job of making sure I was burning some calories everyday. Does it really matter that most of the time it was playing tennis on the Wii?

The holidays really killed my momentum to lose weight. I stopped doing anything and ate everything and gained back about 6 lbs! It is nice to know I am still below where I started last fall.

So here we go again. I weighed in this morning - and no I am not going to put the number down here. I was trying to think of some code, but screw that. I know the number and each Friday I am going to track the pounds lost and record it here.

Occasionally I will update the Fat Butt Photo.

(yes that really is my butt)
