I eat with abandon during my Sunday football games and I pay the price. Gone are the days of having to drink milkshakes every day to gain weight. This is the only struggle I am having with getting older at this point.
It has been a few weeks now since the season is over. I feel better already! This is the only plus to the season being over I might add.
To some of you it may seem like no great feat, but to me it is huge!
Here I am. See? no muffin top! Do you know how hard it is to take a picture of yourself?
I worked again today until noon. It was busy with the "last minute" men buying Valentine's gift certificates.
You will find me this afternoon having a cocktail with my other Valentine, My BFF, ShaSha. The husband is cooking me Chicken Marsala for dinner. He is a great cook! I just don't like the mess this meal makes.
This is one lady that will not be eating chocolate later. I want to put my spanx away for the winter. Does that sound like a plan? Happy Valentine's Day all!
You look fantastic!! Happy Valentine's Day! Enjoy your home cooked meal tonight:)

ReplyDeleteLaura,
ReplyDeleteOk before I go any futher I have to say YOU ARE GORGEOUS!I love your blog and the fact that you are a cool mom! I am too!! lol lol. At least that's what the kidos tell me. I must ask you how the heck you stay is such great shape? Ever since I turned 40 it feels like my dam metabolism has stopped. I have recently added a better diet and excercise to my life so I am keeping my fingers crossed!I not only want to be a cool mom but a HOT one too! lol. I'm so happy we are following eachother and I can get to know someone my age (I'm sure your younger than me)and to chat about our life changes events that the future holds for us! Hope you had a great Valentine's Day and I look forward to reading your posts!!

Thank you so much Monica! You look great and gorgeous yourself! I am guessing you are younger than me though.If your kids tell you that you are cool, then you are! I am SO with you on the lack of metabolism. It is killing me! It was exactly when I hit 40 too. I never had an issue before then. Now I have to watch everything I eat and I am pushing myself to exercise. We can commiserate together! I am so glad I stumbled upon your blog! I hope you had a wonderful Valentine's day as well!
DeleteLaura,
DeleteI just read your it's ok's and they are awesome!I"m glad to hear that I'm not crazy thinking that my age might be a part of my weight issues! lol Your right about having to watch everything you eat! I hate it. I'm pretty excited though cause I have promised myself that I will work out every morning before work! I've kept my promise for the last few weeks and feel great! It's tough getting up at 5:00 a.m but If I don't work out before work I won't work out at all! So where you from? I live in Colorado and love it here! My husband and I both are natives born,raised and never left!It's a beautiful state and a great place to raise a family. I love my kids so much but look forward to the day they are out on there own! Do you think that sounds weird? I know our Son will stay close and keeping my fingers crossed that our daughter will too. She still has awhile to go before I have to worry about that!We have 3 dogs I love more than anything and would have 4 if Steve would give me the ok but that won't happen!4 would be a lot of work. Well just wanted to drop a line or two! I had a great Valentine's Day I hope you did as well! I look forward to hearing from you agian!!I too am so glad we found eachother on here and hope we can continue to exchanges our hopes and dreams!

Hi Monica!
DeleteThank you! You are not crazy, there is definitiely a correlation of age/weight. That is great that you are getting up every morning! Keep going! I know for myself, that if I stop, its hard to get back into it. You are lucky to be living in Colorado. I have never been, but it looks beautiful! I am in MA. I have been here all of my life. We actually live in the town my husband grew up in. Now I have to burst your bubble. I saw a light at the end of the tunnel then someone pulled down the shade, as far as my life moving forward, I had one child left at home while my middle one finished college. Guess what? All of my kids will be back in May for various reasons. I am now back to square one. I am not complaining at all but I thought I would have more travel freedom at this point. I dont at all. I dont think it ever ends. I looked forward to the time it would be easier too. I just dont see it ever happening. I am ok with that. I want them to all have a good life. I just thought it would be different at this point. I sound like a complainer but I am not. I will do anything for my kids. They always come first. I hope you have a great weekend! Nice to hear from you!
