Vacation, the 5 pounds that haunt me, and whatever else comes to mind in the next 5 minutes

Hello there. I know all five of my followers have missed me lately and I apologize for my absence. I have had (and possibly still have) a severe case of writer's block lately. While the definition you will find says the writing has to be a profession in order for this illness to be applicable...I think the "expert" that entered this definition into wikipedia did not take into account all of the bloggers out there including myself. Oh well though... I'm going to do my best to throw something together(and keep doing so) until it comes back to me.

When I figure out what I mean by "it" I'll be sure to let you know.

I enjoy having a blog. The hard part is trying to have something interesting to say. So here we go.

What's going on with me you ask? WELL I am so glad you want to know...

 This Friday we leave for vacation!!!!

Ahhhh...beach house. My love. I have been waiting to see you for an entire year.

1 whole week of relaxation, basking in the sun, plenty of reading, and let's not forget the high intensity wii playing that will be going on. Um yes. I think I will. Thank you.

So this leads me to my next subject that I'm sure all of you are dying to hear about...

The dreaded insert number here pounds that every woman hates/complains about/talks about losing. You know what I mean and with women there is usually a number that we have decided on. My most recent number is 5. 5 pounds can make all the difference in the world. Jeans fit better, shirts aren't as tight, and let's not overlook the fact that it takes you about HALF the time to get ready because EVERYTHING DOESN'T MAKE YOU LOOK FAT anymore. Ah yes. 5 pounds. I hate you. Why oh why will you not go away?

I think the most difficult part in all this is diet.

meh.

But with the help of my good friend R, I have been doing well for going on 3 weeks! We are eating better and working out.

Which brings us to Jillian. The devil.

If you're not terrified. You should be.

R and I have been doing her 30 day shred for the past few weeks along with our new diet plan.

It is painful. makes you want to kill yourself.and...awesome.

 What happens on vacation you ask? Don't worry. We are taking her along for the ride. We plan on working out while the boys are all gone fishing. Nothing like a little pain and suffering to get you going in the morning!

I also plan on going to target on my way home to get a sweet new scale I found online. I'm realizing that the whole "goal of losing five pounds thing" is a whole lot easier to keep track of when you own a scale.

Go figure.

Now for the finale of this post....my latest favorite song.



Happy Monday Everyone!
