Do you really want a really great ab workout?! Go to lunch with a good friend! Wait… not the lunch part exactly. But go to lunch with a girl friend that makes you laugh like crazy!! Tita THANK YOU!! My stomach still hurts!! I’m even counting lunch as my exercise today! I would have walked this morning but you’all know I can’t walk without Kaki! (So it’s all Kaki’s fault I slept in!) BUT! I really do try to have to have SOME type of exercise everyday and today I picked eating laughing! See ya tomorrow! Here comes my plea for votes!!

So now the challenge of Holiday dieting begins!! Today is the first Christmas/Birthday party to get through and still manage to lose another 3 pounds by the end of the year. In my favor is the fact that everyone I know is aware I’m on a diet for the Half Year Resolution. And not in my favor is that EVERYONE I KNOW is aware I’m on a diet for the Half Year Resolution. I either get the LOOK that says “Can you have that!?” or “So how’s the diet going?!” So I will try and set a good example tonight. BUT if I drop my napkin under the table tonight…

The voting site is back up!! So to recap…..I am hoping you have found my journey to be inspirational as well as entertaining. If so please… VOTE for ME!! If not… well, vote for me anyway!! (As in me me me Connie me me me!!!) The voting box is up on the right hand side. It looks like this time you have to enter your email address and date of birth. You won’t get any emails from Channel 10!! It’s just a validation step. So please go vote!! Ohhh wait!!! Now would be a great time to show before and after pictures wouldn’t it?!?!

Today was my weekly phone call withTyler at WellStrong Fitness. Since I’m down again this week (27 pounds total!! WOOO HOOO!!) Tyler wants me to add an extra time with the jump rope, I don’t have to do a lot 5 to 10 minutes a couple times a week should do it. The little extra exercise will help my body continue to burn the fat. Burning fat GOOD! (course I’m still irritated that HotFLASHES don’t burn fat!!) This is day 3 that I wore my Sketcher Shape-ups only today I wore them all day (They are very comfortable! It’s 10:00 p.m. and I still have them on!) The way the…

Okay commercial done. WHEW!! You’ll be happy to hear I didn’t put my hands on my head. I stuttered thru a couple of takes and Trudi worked her magic and put them all together to make the winning video!? It will be if you’ll go vote for me on Monday! Did ya see how I just threw that right in there?! THAT was shameless!! (Here is the link, ohhhhh it’s just painful to watch myself talking about MYSELF!!) http://www.facebook.com/pages/Half-Year-Resolution/227962245163?ref=mf So I rewarded myself and I bought new shoes!! I bought a pair of Sketcher Shape-ups for walking. (DH can’t make a fuss over these….. because exercise shoes don’t count as…

I may not have exercised this morning, but, I’m sure the hyper me runnin’ around like a crazy person burned a lot of calories. I’m taping my 60 second commercial at Channel 10 tomorrow. I need to dazzle and intrigue people to come read my blog and vote for me. So far I’ve ruled out begging Paaaaaaaaaaleeeeeeeaseeeeeeeeeeee for 60 seconds. I figure that MAY NOThave the desired effect, cause my voice will get all high pitched and nasaly…. naaa not a good idea. So…. words… I have to have words. I also need to figure out what to do with my arms. Don’t be surprised if in my little commercial…

It’s been a long time since I’ve thanked you for reading my blog. I try not to write sad and depressing blogs but I did tonight. (Yes, you should TURN AWAY!! Turn away!!) But it’s important that you know I appreciate you. I am a very lucky girl to have you all in my corner!! I really think that with all the stress going on in my life this year had it not been for the Channel 10 Half Year Resolution and this blog I would be at least 30 pounds heavier instead of almost 30 pound lighter. From the small stuff like moving my Mom in with us. To…

Just sort of UGH today!! Have you ever just woke up sad? No reason. Nothing bad has happened. I just am having a sad. I want JUNK FOOD! I want mass amounts of chocolate. AND potato chips!! I want to curl up in bed. I want a good book. Hot cocoa (with tiny little marshmallows AND whip cream). Congratulations to Dan and Heather who are in Las Vegas with my daughter Selena. They ran the Rock and Roll half marathon today. Dan finished with 2 hours 46 minutes. Heather finished with 2 hours 20 minutes. HOLY MOLY! That exhausts me just THINKING about running that far. I mean REALLY!?! Running…
