Stolen Picture Alert!
So, I stole this from Carrie... who stole it from Lois (after Lois sent it to her)...
Great Auntie Lois (Soon to be "Grandma" Lois) & Hannah Jase!
Great Auntie Lois (Soon to be "Grandma" Lois) & Hannah Jase!
By Popular Demand
SOMEONE I love dearly (named Renee) has specifically asked for some pictures of the girls!
SO, FINE!
Hayley much preferred this ^^^ than the following picture:
No, that isn't excitement & pleasure on her face... Sheer Pure Fear
Hannah, of course, wanted to climb up the shed & jump off the roof...
Daddy makes the greatest floaty-pool toy.
Sistaz 4eva
Tonight at the park. She drew an apple. Then we drew chalk-outline bodies.
Some lady walked by & exclaimed... "WOW! She is really a good artist!"
(duh, woman... her 32 year old mother drew the bodies... she is just filling them in)
Hannah will not LOOK at the camera for more than 2 seconds... and she for SURE won't smile.
So, this is what I get!

Week 2?
Today I started the Jillian Michael's 30-day Shred DVD.
It is about 20 minutes of a circuit training program... starring everyone's FAVORITE Female butt-kicker from Biggest Loser... She was actually really awesome in the video. She and her double-six-pack abs & her perfect-arms telling me the burn is GOOD and it will get easier. HA!
I had to modify it a little, because I knew my neighbor-down-stairs was home and didn't want to do 60 seconds of jumping jacks... so I did "Half-Jacks" (3/4 jacks?) Just one leg & both arms involved...
But everything else was TOTALLY doable! The girls really got into it & I now need to get them some 2-pound weights... they fought over mine every time I put them down.
During the "legs shoulder width-apart" sections.. yup. Mommy = Bridge.
So, most of my workout was spent trying NOT to step on the girls.
Hayley called it the "Exercise is Fun" video!
Off to some mommy-time... bath & books are next on the agenda. Maybe I can read books WHILE they are in the bath... multitasking.
Hayley announced "All your typing is making me CRAZY! Let's GO!"
I love her.

And the Result is.... (drum roll, please)
Tim is down 6-pounds.
Sara Lou is down 5-pounds!
YAY US!
my 5-pounds is a bit sketchy, because I weighed on one of those doctor's balance-scales, so I didn't REALLY get an accurate reading, but heck - it is 5-inaccurate pounds less than last week! LOL.
(but I did weigh-in on my digital scale, that I trust more for some reason, so I have a good starting # from there as well).
AND my friend Amanda challenged me to do Jillian Michael's "30-Day Shred" work-out DVD with her. She started over the weekend & I was SUPPOSED to start Monday, but will start when that dang video arrives. (I found it on NetFlix FOR "free"!) She said there are push-ups involved. YIKES!
BTW - Jillian is that annoying, but completely lovable brunette trainer from Biggest Loser. I'm going to imagine punching her in the face at the end of each work-out to make it through! LOL! BUT - I must say, SHE is what people like me need! Someone who cares enough to kick-my-butt.
So, I am going to eat my turkey-meatloaf.
(Jenn Hammond... I'm thinking about you with every-bite! LOL)

The Summer of Losers
No matter how many people tell me "wow, those pants are FALLING off you"... or "Wow, your hips looks smaller"... or "Sara, you have been loosing a TON of weight..."
They are all W R O N G.
I weigh approximately the same as I did the day I came home from the hospital with Hannah. & that isn't a pretty place to be.
So in order to get the scale to catch up with what my body is apparently telling people... We're ON. (oh, I don't see what everyone's talking about... I feel like I look pregnant when I look down... AND I AM NOT!).
Timmy wants to loose 60# between now & August 6th (which is totally achievable for him)... and I'd like to loose *something*! I hate giving myself a number, because, TO ME, it is just a number to fail. Seriously - if I say "I want to loose 5 pounds this week"... and loose 2... I say "Well, I failed my goal, so I might as well give up. Hand me those Oreos!" [mmmmmmm. Oreos]
No, that isn't mentally healthy or right - but it is me. Until I can change the way Sara Lou thinks... I'm going to say: "I want to loose something before Florida".
I'd love to loose 40#, but that is jinxing the whole thing. SHhhhhhhhhhh Don't tell me I said that.
How about this guideline: Between now & his birth, I want to loose as much weight as Cousin Carrie's Baby weighs (at birth). That is *on average* 7 1/2 pounds... and I have about 3 weeks to go. I'm PRETTY sure I can do it.
So. Now that this post is all about weight loss... Please - feel free to ask me how I'm doing!!
The loser this summer - I hope - is Hannah's Diaper Drawer. Crossing my fingers that she can be potty trained (mostly) before our trip in August... or at least before her 3rd Bday in September. She knows what's going on *down there*. She is just too stubborn to do anything about it. As long as it is HER idea... it will happen.
Off to watch some tv-shows... I mean... read the new book mom gave me... I mean... read my darling daughters some good night stories before tucking their precious heads into bed.
