Hi all. So yesterday when I was on here reading blogs my kids were playing with their toys here with me in the basement. I saw my daughter go upstairs and had an ear listening to what she was doing.

I heard her playing with the magnets on the fridge and then the light switch on the landing coming down to the basement. So then she’s back down playing with her brother and she comes over to me. I look at her and go “OMG Lexi, what do you have on you?”

She was covered in red stuff. She had it all over the side of her face, arms, legs. At first I thought it was blood, then I looked and thought it was jam, this is all in a split second thinking this…well my little darling got into my lipstick and had a hay day with it. You know me mentioning the light switch, all over it, all over the kitchen floor, on the walls with her little handprints. I swear if someone came inside they would have thought someone was murdered there, it looked like a CSI case. So no harm done, everything washed off easy from the kitchen, she on the other hand is still alittle stained.

So that was yesterday…this morning I’m getting ready to take my son to pre-school and I’m drying my hair. Well I have 2 big round brushes I use. I took the one and wrapped it around my hair and then took the other and did the same with the rest. I go about doing stuff while the brushes “set”…I use them instead of big rollers. So I take the big one out, and then the other one. Naw-aw, it isn’t moving, stuck. I forgot to completely dry my hair before putting it in so it gets nice and tangled around the brush. I’m walking around the house trying to get this thing out and looking at the clock…so I had to phone DH to come and get Ty to take him to school. He laughs and goes “You did that again?”…yes I have done this before. I take Ty out to the driveway and Alex helps me get some more hair out…yeesh! I am so like Susan from Desperate Housewives, if it can happen, it will to me.

But my hair looked great after lol !!

I got a phone call last night from my Mom and those dreaded 5 words, “I have some bad news.” Our family friend who I have known since I was 17 passed away. I hate those phone calls, have had too many over the years. He was only around 63 years old. We don’t know what happened, my parents are going to the funeral on Monday, I can’t make it. So I ate crappy last night because of it. But today I am better with the eating.

So that’s my stories for today! Share a smile with someone, and they’ll wonder what you’ve been up to!!

HAPPY THURSDAY!!

Hi all! Well did my 5 miles this morning. Put both kids in the jogging stroller and Hope (my dog) and I hit the river trail. I also put 10 lbs of weight in my backpack for an extra push. It was a little more harder with that plus two kids, and it’s 80 degrees out there today. I think I got a good workout!

Not much else new with me. Just living the dream! Here’s a joke for all you ladies. and to the men of BuddySlim, it IS funny, sorry no harm intended…

BUTT MEASUREMENT

A man and his wife were working in the garden one day and the man looks over at his wife and says “Your butt is getting really big, I mean REALLY big. I bet your butt is bigger than the barbeque grill.”

With that he proceeded to get the tape measure and measure the grill, and then went over to where his wife was working and measured his wife’s bottom.

“Yes, I was right, your butt is two inches wider than the barbeque grill!!!”

The woman chose to ignore her husband.

Later that night in bed, the husband is feeling frisky…

He makes some advances towards his wife who completely brushes him off.

“What’s wrong?” he asks.

She answers: “Do you really think I’m going to fire up this big-a$$ grill for one little weenie?”

HAPPY WEDNESDAY BUDDIES!!!!

Hello everyone! Well go figure, we had our long weekend and it rained all 3 days, now today it’s beautiful out, not a cloud in the sky! Oh well, starts the week off right!

Well I am going to do something that’ll keep me motivated. I am NOT going to go shopping until I lose 5 lbs and so on and so forth. This means no more of my magazines, (I’m a sucker for those celebrity mags like US), no make-up, clothes, shoes, nothing. I love shopping so this will be hard. Only thing I’ll shop for is groceries and house/yard neccessities. So it will be a treat for me after every 5 lbs I lose, just one treat too, like a lip gloss or even a pair of flip flops etc.

I haven’t told my DH yet. He’ll be doing back flips. He’ll be pleasantly suprised because he knows I like to go shopping. Anyways I think it’s a great idea for me. It’ll make both the losing and buying something that much more rewarding.

So that’s my story for today! Happy Tuesday to all, and welcome to all the new BuddySlimmers!

Hi all! Well they say the flood is coming. Don’t know how bad it’s going to get. The snow pack is at an all time high. The 3rd highest in recorded history here. We’re surrounded by mountains. So if it does flood our city, where we live, we’ll be an island in our city. We had lots of rain over the weekend which didn’t help because it then snowed in the mountains, and if we get a long spell of hot weather then it’s coming even faster. Keeping our fingers crossed mother nature will be kind.

Did my weights this morning on the arms. Always like working these muscles groups the best. BUT if I don’t start eating more clean I’ll never get that layer of fat off of them no matter how much weights I do. Have the definition but it needs the fat to be gone for the more sculpted look/

Was also reading in my Oxygen magazine that doing lots of ab exercises is really pointless. They said you don’t do 200 bicep curls, why do 200 crunches? If the fatty layer is still there, no amount of exercises are going to show those abs. Of course still do the ab exercises but don’t have to exceed them.

I know this goes for all the muscle groups, don’t eat right, they’re not going to show properly. Always the hardest part of weight loss, the darn food, well for me as you all know! So far, so good today with the food intake, one day at a time!

Wishing you all a great afternoon/evening!
