Memo to Myself


Memo

To: Myself

From: Yourself

Attention self. Effective yesterday, you must make every attempt to lose the bounce when you trounce, the jiggle when you wiggle, the fluff in your buff.

The Holidays are upon you...and you know what that means. Meals on the go, a few too many Caribou coffees (yes, you argue that you order them "skinny" but that does NOT mean they will make you skinny. Not in any way.), and treats galore.

Calories in need to be calories out...and, no, peeling cucumbers does NOT count as exercise. Yes, even if you eat them. Neither does power shopping. Argue all you want, but I'm not budging. SHOPPING WILL NOT MAKE YOU SKINNY.

I am hereby demanding that you dust off those old KettleWorx DVD's and start sweating your butt off. Literally and figuratively.

Sincerely,
Management (aka, Me. Or You. Whatever.)

  1. I hear ya- send me a memo too! I trained for a 1/2 marathon this summer..now I am a ever-widening lazy toad!! Boo to lazy mommy...while I make my son take swim team- an hour and a half in the pool every day! Actually I would LOVE to do that. Now who's going to watch my kids for me (for free!) so I can be allowed that luxury??!! Oh wait- nope. I have to workout with kids screaming for my attention and making fun of my "brazilian butt-lift" dancing!!

  2. From your hips to God's ears (yeah I know that's not the saying, but it works) to bad we can't skype and workout together.

    Good luck! I am rooting for you

  3. This is the unfortunate truth. It puts a bit of a damper on the holidays. Have you SEEN the temptations in coffee and milk shake form??? Ugh...

  4. Mmmm...skinny lattes!

    At least you are peeling cucumbers and not wrappers off of chocolate bars! That reminds me, my kid's Halloween candy is calling me.....

  8. Mmmm-mnh. I'm pregnant during the holidays for the last time - I'm eating myself stupid and worrying about it next year when I can nurse this year's snowman cookies into oblivion. (Or, that's the plan. Ask me next year.... uh...)

  10. I need to dust off some DVD and get ready for the holidays. Does looking for a DVD count as exercise?

  11. LOVE IT! My husband's R&R is the end of Jan. and a few months ago, I bought two Jillian Michaels DVDs, but I have only done them three or four times! I keep thinking "I have time!".. but I probably should get to work!

Coming soon...

Come here looking for the tutorial? It can be found here:  Halo Braid Tutorial!  Let me know how it goes! I had something in mind to try on Baby Girl's hair the other day...my best bud, Dr. J, did something similar to it on Belle once, and I was trying to replicate it. Instead, I got this: Isn't it pretty?! It didn't take nearly as long as it looks and isn't nearly as intricate as it looks! Vlog tutorial coming soon...(for those of you waiting, I'm sorry it's taking me so long!)

Halo Braid Tutorial!

How appropriate, "halo braid", no?! ;) Finally, I have this ready for you...I apologize for the delay! This braid looks intricate, but is really quite easy and quick to pull off...the original video (prior to the warp speed braiding...watch the video to see what I mean) was just a bit over 8 minutes long...not too shabby! So, here you go...right in time for you to try it out on your little girl for Easter!

Crock-Pot Fajitas

You! Yes, YOU!! You must stop whatevertheheck it is that you are doing, and make this recipe. Right now. Tonight. Well...wait. You should probably finish reading this post first...you know...so you know how to make it... But then...STOP! STOP everything, make this, and thank me later! Oh, hold it...wait just a sec (again)...actually, I got this recipe from Melissa...yes, the Melissa of this story ! And this story ...which, well...is the same story, just told two different ways! ;) So, you can thank her...I guess. Well, in any event...prepare your tastebuds to be tantalized! You'll need this: And, this: You'll also need chicken breasts or steak, but since photographing your "main ingredient" is, like, soooo passe, I've left it out. ( Ahem... ) Just keepin ' up with the times, friend. So...slice up those peppers and onions into cute little strips... And...try your best to not slice up the little fingers that are sneaking away pepper strips... (Lemme just inte
