Winter Formal

Olivia had her first school dance at her new school on Friday. I was always super excited about school dances, but not my daughter.

She refused to wear a dress. (I think she did this out of spite since I told her my prom dress was too big for her.)

She refused to let me do something cute with her hair.

She refused to smile. I mean really! (See photo)

I swear this girl is going to be the death of me.

Olivia the Diva

O: Mommy, when I grow up I want to be a WWE Diva!

Me: Really?

O: I don't want to get married or have a boyfriend.

Me: You can still have a husband and be a Diva.

O: No, they make you pretend to like and go out with other wrestlers.

Me: But it's fake.

O: Well, it looks real.

Randomness

Just some random pictures that show what we've been up to lately.

Down baby!

I am down 2.2 lbs since last week.  Woot!!! 

 

I am so happy I could have ate a candy bar.  BUT I didn't because that would have been totally stupid right? 

 

Keep the motivation coming!  

Kid Funnies

Me:  I went to my first Weight Watchers meeting tonight.  It was pretty fun, I even knew a few people there.

 

O:  Hey - was Jessica Simpson there?

 

Me:  Hmmm.  No.

 

O:  That sucks.  I bet she goes to a better meeting.

 

 

 

 

Cooper got a "Do it Yourself Diary of a Wimpy Kid" book from Nana and Poppy for Christmas.  One of the pages asks what video games you would take with you if you were stranded on a deserted island.  His response?  WWE 12, WWE 13, and Raw vs Smackdown.  No, he's not obsessed AT ALL ya'll.

 

 

 

 

 

O:  I'm going to be 10 my birthday.

 

Me:  Yes, I know.

 

O:  You know what that makes me right?

 

Me:  A bigger pain in the butt?  Burn!!!

 

O:  *eye roll*  No.  A Tween.

 

Me:  What?  Are you sure?  I thought you had to be like 13 to be a tween.

 

O:  No, it says online Tweens start at age 10.  So, I'm going to be a tween!

 

Me:  Great, you've got Drama Queen mastered already.  *smile* 

 

Cooper:  *walking up*  Olivia, you're going to be a tween????

 

Me:  *sigh* 

New Year, New Me!

You know those resolutions I blogged about before the New Year? 

 

Well, so far, (and I realize it's only the second week of January), I'm sticking to them!  Except for the juicing part - I've decided juicing just is not for me.  AT ALL.  I give kudos to those of you who can do it.  Al's giving it his best shot and I'm very proud of him.  It made me feel very yucky and sick.  I just can't do anything that makes me sick.  Sorry, I'm out!  Ha ha! 

 

I go to my first (ACK!) Weight Watchers meeting tonight.  I've been following the Points Plus program online and on my iPhone app, but it'll be good to actually go to the meeting and talk to other people who struggle.  I'm excited.  I'm nervous.  I'm scared I'll make an ass of myself.  But I'm tired of the weight I've put on over the years and I want to get it off.  Accountability is the *only* thing that will work for me I believe.  Wish me luck.

 

Remember when I use to run a little?  Well, I plan on getting back into that too.  I felt great when I ran - even if I did have to take walk breaks.  So, starting this week, I'm getting back on track with that too.  Slow and steady folks - I don't want an overnight fix. 

 

How are your resolutions going so far?
