Well, that I am mentally "halfway gone" is no big revelation...we've known THAT for years. What I refer to on this Happy Easter 2010 Day, is that I am physically HALF WAY to getting a lot of money. A LOT.
Here's the deal. Somehow, whether by way of the Kahlua and Cream, or the Krispy Kreme drive-through, I succeeded in gaining a few pounds. The two pregnancies and the passage of time notwhithstanding, I was convinced that the Earth's magnetic pull had mysteriously increased directly under my scale. I actually tried weighing myself during a full moon to see if the moon's gravitational pull would somehow counter-balance it. No dice. It was worth a try.
Anyway, my husband, seeking to give me some motivation, decided that if I could "get down" to my former weight before the kids, that he would give me money. A LOT of money. We're talking six figures here, people. Let's just say that I am currently motivated.
At the suggestion of one of my dearest (and hottest) friends, Melissa, I decided to embark on a three-month journey through exercise and diet hell, otherwise known as "P90X". This 13-disc DVD series puts a body through more twists and turns than San Fran's Lombardi street. Between the weight lifting, cardio, stretching, Yoga, Kenpo, and our added weight watcher's diet, I am down 23 pounds.
I still have more to go, (I am actually more than halfway), but I am excited. Melissa has lost weight too, and gave me a lot of her old clothes (and let me tell you...she has GREAT taste!). Because of her generosity, I am rockin' numerous pairs of designer jeans that pretty much cost as much as a car payment! I am not sure I want to even lose any more, because then the jeans will be too big!! Guess I can buy more...
It's really awesome to see people I haven't seen in a few months, and have them ask what I am doing to lose the weight...it's so nice to have their support and hear their compliments. It makes passing up that Girl Scout Thin Mint (BOX!) worth it. Thank you, friends!!!
The 90 days of committment is over in a week and a half, and since it has worked so well, I am going to just start over with it. Between the DVDs and the Zumba dance class at our club, I feel confident that the Louis Vuitton briefcase loaded with cash will be part of my future. I am going to have a big party where I will step on the scale, then accept my prize wearing a bikini made of money. Well, that's my vision, anyway.
Let's just WEIGHT and see...

23 pounds is UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Money or no money- that is a huge accomplishment, girl. Look- you're gorgeous no matter what the scale says...but I am SO PROUD of you. look out NYC ;)
And I will be there watching you, in your bikini made out of money, accepting your big prize. But the biggest prize of all is seeing the results of all your hard work. You are and always have been, one of the hottest chicas I know.
