TGIF!!!

Ahhhh, Friday.  And I am in such a good mood...

Fridays are different from any other day of the week.  People are happier, making them usually nicer.  Everyone is excited and anticipating what the weekend might hold for them.  Life seems to be more laid back, whether you work or not.  And for those of us who attend church, we have Sunday to look forward to!

See, I love Fridays.  Sometimes that means Bobby works from home, and other times it means that the boys & I are that much closer to having him home to ourselves for 2 days.  Dinner is usually something simpler, but always delicious... & since I've been dieting Friday is sometimes my "cheat night".  

Today, however, I have 2 more reasons to be in a good mood!  

When I went in to get dressed my pants were just way too big... not loose, BIG! WOO-HOO!!!

I decided to step on the scale and check things out... only to find I've officially lost 15lbs!!!

Now, if I could just get more disciplined with the exercise, so I can continue to lose at the pace I have been...  or more... The only downside to all this weight loss was in the beginning I didn't realize how much red meat I ate on a regular basis and I'm pretty sure I lost some iron, making me slightly fatigued.  I'm feeling better now that I'm taking a supplement, but still struggle with sticking with a routine.  I actually enjoy working out, a whole lot more than I thought I would... I think I'm just getting bored doing the same old thing.  I plan to get a cardio dvd in the next few weeks and hope that will break the feeling that this is tedious I get at times... until then, I've got to buckle down and just keep with it!  

We'll see how that goes... Right now I just want to sit on the couch with my snuggie and play with the boys.  This weather doesn't help with the "get up and go" attitude I need to have.  Gotta get moving though!  Hmm... this is my struggle. I'll let you all know how it goes.

Big Fat HYPOCRITE!

Yup, that's me, the hypocrite!

For quite some time I have made quite a bit of fun of the snuggie. The first time I saw the commercial I wet my pants (Literally. Not a shock for those of you that know me...) and have made fun of anyone Bobby or I knows that owns one.

This was no secret to my parents...

Friday night Bobby and couldn't figure out why they were calling us into one of the back rooms when they usually come out to us. Lo and behold, there they were, both wrapped in Snuggies. I thought I was going to die from the laughter, until Dean said that one of them was mine.

WHAT?!

OK, I'm not going to lie. My first thought was "It actually isn't a bad idea, as long as no one has to know." But then I got home and was so cozy and comfy I just had to share it with the world. My only complaint is that I'm so short I really can't get up and walk with it. That would be great!

So, yes, I'm a nerd. I look like I'm part of a cult or a Trekkie. But hey, at least I'm WARM!
