Josh and I were out for lunch today while Noah and Anna were at school. I was lamenting the fact that I have been going to the gym for 8 months and have not lost the weight I thought I would have lost by now - I can't even say I have lost any at all. So we began brainstorming a list of more changes I could make to meet my weight loss goals. Dieting, NutriSystem, Calorie Counting, Alli, Strength training, etc. I tell you, I need constant coaching from Josh and my sister to even understand how all the pieces of exercise, food, and body fit together. And I get bored and impatient just working through those facts. My other problem is that I am not willing to make a full time job out of trying to eat right and work out - I just want to not be in plus size clothing is all. And I wanna get to that end quicker! That's when I had an epiphany... a specific thing that should cure my weight loss woes! The conversation went something like this and left us falling out of our chairs laughing.
Josh: yada, yada, yada, something about burning more calories than I take in...
Me: I need to find some pill that will cause me to burn more calories all day long.
Josh: Uh, that would be Speed, Kimberly.
Me: Ok, then. Where do I get me some of that?
Ha! Too funny! Wonder how Noah and Anna would take to you being on that all day! I don't know anything about drugs, but the name speed makes me think of the Road Runner. Maybe you'd have your house clean, laundry done, and dinner made in record time! :)
ReplyDeleteHm...don't even think about it...how about Speed would be 1. Illegal and 2. Cause for Heart attack.
ReplyDeleteI know it's frustrating, Though I'm not in plus sizes...when my Dr. told me to lose 6 pounds, I thought it'd be easy, but for 6 months, nothing happened...then I had my tonsils out. Done. Maybe you should just get your throat cut out. :)
Heather: Record time for sure. And Josh says it would make me edgy...and I said Lord knows I already have enough edge! :)
ReplyDeleteEmily: Yeah, caught that on the dangerous and therefore illegal part. :) That's why we cracked up. You lost 6 lbs with your tonsilectomy? Who knew tonsils weigh 6 lbs?! :)
I tell myself that I weigh more than before I got pregnant because I have so many muscles from lugging Elliott around. :)
ReplyDeleteKate: Amen to that!
