Last summer I worked really hard to lose the pudge I'd put on in the years (7) since I graduated from college. I was still out of shape, mind you, but at least through careful eating I had lost the weight, and I figured that exercise would tone up the large quantities of flab remaining on my slender frame.
Then I got comfortable. Complacent. Lazy. I've been eating a lot of junk food lately. Still, after weighing myself on my grandparents' scale and seeing that I was actually 3.5 pounds lighter than I had been a month or so ago, I figured the 4 or so times I've exercised in the past month and a half must have really paid off! This weekend, however, I learned that it was not so. Alas, weight loss isn't that easy.
We were at Dillard's on Sunday, buying a pod coffee maker for JLR, when I happened to notice a scale sitting out in the housewares department. I looked around to make sure that no one was watching, and then I hopped aboard. Apparently, Granna's scale is off. By about 10 pounds. Make that 10.5
Looks like it's back to careful eating for me. Half pb & honey sandwich + grapes for lunch. *Sigh* So hungry...

I no longer like the phrase "pod coffee maker." I don't like the way it sounds. In our household, we will now refer to it as the one cup coffee maker.
[and if that sounds bossy, don't worry--RR knows this is one of my "things" and is used to it.]
No kidding. Ask her how she feels about the word "moist" or about the expression "from the cockles of my heart."
You know, I don't like to see them in print, either.
Yes, I know, you're rolling your eyes. I don't care. Roll away. Just don't use those expressions.
"shaking your eyes here, shaking your eyes there. Why don't you join a shaking rockin' roll band?"
I love that line!
tee hee hee
*ahem* you missed your cue. that is not the correct response.
Oh, "my bad."
"STOP. SAWING. THE TABLE!!"

Oh, I beg your pardon, RR, I should have said "You crack me up, I swear you do."
10 years.
seriously.
