I am officially company free and I have a little less than 4 weeks before my sisters get here for a girls vaca week to Vegas! I have been DYING to go, and always have it planned, then wham-o, epic fail. Well not this time… come hell or high water we are going! This is uber motivation for me. Not that I need it, because this boddybugg? It has changed my life. Literally. I have lost 6 pounds in less than 2 weeks, with company here every day of it. INCREDIBLE! It’s like voodoo or something. Whatever it is, I’ll take it. I haven’t been able to lose weight no matter what I try, and lord knows I have tried it all. Basically I figured out my body’s secret: If I work too hard I burn nothing. Make sense? I didn’t think so. But, if I run or lift weights I hardly burn a thing. It’s like my body is afraid I am working too hard and stops burning calories. But if I go for a walk? I burn calories like crazy! So I have been walking for an hour or so every night, in addition to whatever daily activity I normally do, and voila! I have been keeping track of my food, but we’ll just say that it has not been the greatest. One day I ate almost 3000 calories. True story. The trick is just to make sure you burn more than you eat, which I have done every day, obviously, resulting in the loss. So I bought an analog scale that is hard to read, and that has kept me from being all psychi dependant on the number. Also, I tried on my skinniest jeans… the jeans that I wore when I was damn near my most perfect, and tonight… the went on!! I try them on once a week or so, and about 2 weeks ago they wouldn’t go over my thighs. Not a chance. Tonight? ALL THE WAY ON! I even buttoned them. Now do not be disillusioned into thinking they fit, cause OMG, muffin top city! But I am on my way.  I am still going to be weight lifting, for the health benefits, but only like twice a week or so. I’m not sure yet. I am going to try to get to the gym so I can start lifting heavy, which is what my FIL the gym rat says is the best. He should know. I also bought a double stroller so I can push my slow 6yo on the walks. Pushing that thing so should count as an upper body workout. Those skinny kids weigh almost 100 pounds together!

How are all of you doing? I am going to make it a goal to blog at least once a day, maybe more if I am feeling chatty :) I can’t wait to catch up with you girls!
