Unleash the skinny!

Stepping on the scale today didn’t bring as much anguish as normal. Tuesdays are now the day that I drag my lazy behind to Weight Watchers. Joila! The journey to the skinny girl inside has begun! I had a little motivation though…

After loading Lily into the car and traveling a couple hours to watch my brother in his track meet, we were making our way to the bleachers. My mother suggested that my brother stretch before his events to loosen up. Maybe it’s my fault for trying to make a mockery out of stretching, but I’m going to take it as a sign from above because as I was doing lunge stretch examples for my brother I heard a strange noise… RIP! Yes that’s right, the size of my thighs had cause the fabric in my pants such turmoil that they gave way exposing half my thigh. Time to cleanse the temple in a physical way, I guess.

Zach accepted a new job in Idaho and we will be moving shortly. Procrastination might get the best of me in this scenario because I dread the physical labor and the anxiety of our future dwelling. I am extremely picky and sometimes I think the neighborhood is more of a seller than the actual house. See, you can change your house, redecorate, tear down and re-build if you have to but when it comes to the college drug dealer next door or the middle aged man who likes to party and bring home random women, you can’t do much about. How do you tell these things by an open house? Zach is very excited about this journey and feels God is leading us in this direction. For the sake of my marriage I’ll get excited too, can’t you feel the enthusiasm?

Lily is growing so big! You’d think I’d be as skinny as a rail chasing her around since she is walking and crawling. She loves the outdoors, praise God it’s been nice recently. No teeth yet, which might be a good thing until I decide I want to clean up a bloody mess every time she falls. Her first birthday is coming up her in about a month and we are busy preparing for that adventure. Any suggestions on a smooth running party would be appreciated.

That’s all for now. I promise to post pictures and updates soon. My new computer is up and running and hopefully my body and my mouth will be running again soon too!
