About Hot by Thirty

  • Desperate not to spend another summer hiding out in fat and/or maternity clothes, I'm determined to drop thirty pounds of baby weight by my thirtieth birthday- July 18, 2009. How unfortunate, then, that I prefer to spend nap time in front of my television with a vat of ice cream. But I've lost these same thirty pounds twice before and I can do it again. I shall do this by steering clear of white flour and sugar and moving my stumpy legs as fast as they will go on our new treadmill. In front of the television, of course. You can also find me at mightymaggie.com.

Eve of the weigh in

I suppose all I really need to type for this post is SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGH.

Baked cookies on Friday. Dim sum on Saturday. Easter and all of Jack's candy on Sunday. And! Gaining another pound even BEFORE I got to Friday. So! Tomorrow does not look good!

Molly woke up so early this morning I crammed in a run before getting ready for church. Not that it's done me any good during the rest of the week- I was a Top Notch Exerciser and, I thought, eating well but the scale was not reflecting those points of fact. Tomorrow is only going to reflect the massive and oh so delicious sugar consumption.

One bright spot: one of my sisters was getting rid of a bunch of clothes and asked me if I wanted to look through them first. And I was all, "THANKS A LOT SKINNY MCTHINSTER." But you guys! Some of her old skirts FIT ME. Granted, they are skirts, which are easier to fit than pants, and this sister has lost her own bunch of weight (NOT ON PURPOSE, I might add, which HOW UNFAIR IS THAT?) and is now Officially Teeny. So I was, in fact, fitting into her Fat Clothes. But still. Free skirts!

Later on this week I'm going to ask you runny types some running advice. But first I need to eat the rest of a chocolate bunny, because I only have two more hours to say, "But it's EASTER!"

ETA: I don't know how THIS happened, but I am down to my starting weight. Huh. I weighed myself multiple times and I'm not lying, promise. That morning run was magic! Except- now what motivation do I have not to eat the REST of the chocolate? Hmm.

I totally finished the (large) chocolate bunny almost all by myself yesterday. Sounded like a good idea at the time... the scale does indeed smite today, though!

Um, I totally called it as I was reading. I said to myself, I bet she DIDN'T gain weight. Somehow it seems to work like that. Delayed benefits of the good working out? Morning run? Who knows, but yay for you!

Oh my I need a magic run. Easter killed me. BOO. Back at 'er tomorrow I guess. In other news, YAY YOU!
