Oh the Gym

So, I have 10 more lbs to lose from Aidan.  I had 10 lbs to lose from Michael.  That equals a total of 20 lbs.  20 sad, sad, sad lbs.  20 lbs that sit squarely between "The Boob" and "The Knees".  20 lbs I had hoped to lose by Aidan's Christening (which is sunday... I am still hoping for that miraculous liposuction that is free and painless that my husband gets me for mother's day...).  20 lbs that I hope to lose by my 10 year college graduation (the last weekend in may... again, hurry up and find that liposuction procedure please!).

So, I joined the gym.  I frequent about 3-4 times a week.  I run/walk for 30 minutes and do 2 miles up a hill.  It says I burn 260 calories.  Then I turn around and do some weight lifting.  And I go home.  Rinse and Repeat.

What they have not told me is why I have not lost the 20 lbs.  Or even for that matter, 5....

I have started watching what I eat.  Now, that doesn't mean that I am on a diet.  But, based on the fact that take out is a minimum.  Breakfast is non-existent and lunch is a salad... I am thinking that this is a lot less calories than the pizza we ate 3 nights a week.  I am a huge advocate of Jenny Craig.  I did it for the post Michael baby weight.  I loved it, lost 20 lbs fast and then quit.  This time, I tried it, failed miserably because I wanted to eat the same food as my husband and son.  The problem this time around, I had to make dinner for both of them. Last time I made hubby fend for himself...

So, I ask you this?  What the F***!!!!!

Ok, now that I got that out, can we make up the excuses?  Please, anything....

Anyway, just call me the blob.

Yay!!!!! You're back!!!! I faithfully checked your site everyday until about two weeks ago - go figure! :)

You are scaring the crap out of me about having two kids (one of these days) b/c I am NOT good on little sleep. I'm counting on it being worth it. :)

I'm with you on spring cleaning. Been up to a little of that myself lately. Feels so good!

It sounds like you're doing a great job with exercising. I've seen pics of you recently and you look beautiful. So by my count, that makes you beautiful and healthy. I say just keep up the good work!
