Two toddlers

Good Morning Campers.

How are we all this morning? you know how I hate Mondays mornings right? Well guess what I hate more than Monday mornings? Monday mornings on a diet...grrrrrr!!!  ;-)

Quick reference to how much I want to lose then I won't bore you with the diet stuff because I know you don't want to hear it..especially if you are skinny and glam and couldn't give a hoot what I stuff in my face..LOL.. I want to lose two godchildren..yes you heard me right..two small toddlers..I lifted my little Maddie yesterday and I commented how heavy she was and asked her Mum "how much does she weigh?" She told me 32 lbs.. that got me to thnking I lug around 2 of Maddie every day on my body..what the hell must that be doing to me? no wonder I feel like crap.... so there you have it I need to lose 2 toddlers.   ;-)

Hubby is on leave before his big golf trip on Wednesday..he will be painting True Beauty's room today and putting up her new ceiling fan and meeting with the siding people. oh the life of the stay at home Master Chief...LOL think he'll have dinner waiting on me when I get home? oh that's right I'm on a diet.... :-(

Happy Monday to ya! <sarcastic grin>

Hi Camper! at least when one is a camper they have the space for their fat bodies :D (my sense of humour... well, I guess you were interested in what I was saying in my blog about diet; you yourself work in a clinic I understand to be linked with diets. So NO. you are wrong. I am interested in your own diet, the one they give you at the Clinic. Do not assume what we do or do not find boring. I am in fact excited to see you melt, as you said that your diet was a very effective and fast diet, and I'd love to know exactly everything that you eat every day; perhaps we can even have a race together, as you seem to like them, and see which diet's best. What do you think?? I must remind you that you have more advantages than I
1) you work outside home... so this is already some exercise
2) you are surrounded by professionals who can advise you best
Are you up for the challenge? :D

Maybe he will have a healthy dinner waiting! It could happen...lol. That is how much each of my children weigh, and I need to loose the same amount of weight. I am not skinny or glam and since I can't mange to get my weght on the downward slant, I apploud you for being able to take the first step bringing it down! Good luck!

I need to lose three toddlers, hopefully once the baby is here I'll start losing the lbs!

Have a wonderful Monday Lyn... don't look at the diet like a chore or a bad thing, just look at it like it's a changing of habits, that's all.  You will do very well I think :)  I hope your hubby has a great dinner waiting for you & that everyone around you works WITH you in doing this.  Hugz, Teresa

Today is a new beginning for you.  I know you can do it.  Start with a goal of one toddler.  LOL  That may make it a bit easier.  The first week will be hard, so jsut get through that and you will be well on your way.  Keep writting so we can cheer you on.  Good luck!  :):):):):):):):)

You go girl!! Try starting out with Half a toddler then move up in increments, half toddler at a time. Celebrate in some way when you reach every goal...Later, Love, Sheila

Two Toddlers... what a FABULOUS way of looking at it!

Anonymous said...

P.S.: of course if those toddlers were kicking and screaming they'd be easier to get rid of.  
I think you look great.  But ok, if you say you have to lose two toddlers, I'm behind you.  You need to get that cartoon guy to draw your two toddlers, then when you've lost them you can make little posters saying, "Have you seen these kids?"

Anonymous said...

Sheesh...the way I figure it out I need to get rid of some triplets!  Hey, I'll swap you!  could be worse though...it could be quads or quints...now that...would be a nightmare!

PS...in the Secret they say to imagine you are thin already and think of yourself as a thin person...don't dwell on the fat person that needs to lose weight, that only attracts more weight to you.  Makes sense, as thinking of myself as fat all these years, has only made me fatter...

DIET Mondays....yuck...I hope you have a GREAT one anyway!

I hate diets any day of the week, which is why I'm working on losing without dieting lol.  May the Lord bless your heart dear, I wish and pray for great success for you in losing the two toddlers --- also that they don't come home again later.
loving you

Two toddlers. . .you dont realise the extra weight we lug around.You can do it. . .you know Lynn. . you can lose 40lb in twenty weeks.   : )

Hi Lyn,  Thank you for stopping by my journal (I Have Tea).  I agree that starting out Monday on a diet is the pits - but TALK about it!  It would be a great support/discussion for all of us other Monday Dieters.  I started South Beach yesterday.  Anyway, good luck with your diet.  

Anonymous said...

Holy Crap!  I just did the conversion....thats nearly 30kgs!!!  That's a one BIG goal!!!  You know its not always about the weight. You can be heavier than a friend but have a better shape and be healthier!  Focus on healthy eating and exercise - and don't deny yourself stuff - just only have half your normal amount - that way it doesn't seem so bad and you are actually training yourself to live a heathier lifestyle - diets are short term - make this a life time committment!

Good luck - with the weightloss...and with MONDAY!

Hugs

You are very funny... and life is too short to worry about weight too much!  As long as you are eating healthy and able to exercise!  That is the important thing...not the number!  ;-D  Spoken by some one wayyy over weight, thank you Mr. Prednisone... it is so hard, isn't it?

Have a great week!

be well,

The tale of your weight could almost be me speaking and we almost have the same name and our amount to lose is pretty much the same I need to lose four stone (56 pounds).

I have until October to do as much of that as possible, when my sons gets married.

Good Luck.
