Fat Mommy Returns

Ok...I have told this story to a couple of people and they keep telling me that I have to write this on my blog. Fat Mommy has returned. With everything going on in our lives I have let the gym and Weight Watchers go by the wasteside. Here is a perfect example....



Last week when we went to court, Aunt Hollie came over to babysit (Thank You Aunt Hollie!) She brought Ivy a donut ( my favorite donut to be exact.) When we got home the girls were sleeping. When Hollie left, I went in the kitchen and noticed that there was over half of Ivy's donut sitting there. I thought to myself that surely she didn't want the rest...really that's not what I thought but I did think that she would not remember the donut tomorrow for breakfast so I ate it.



I went to wake Ivy up from her nap. I said, "Ivy you can get up now." She jumps out of bed yelling,"Donut Donut. Ivy eat her donut!" I panicked and told her that I ate it. She started crying really hard. ( I felt terrible!) So I quickly added, "You know that fudge bar that Daddy has been saving in the freezer? (The ones that are so big that she never gets to eat one.) " Do you want to eat that all by yourself?" Of course she said yes through her tears. So...Matt was out a Fudgie Bar after his dinner all because Fat Mommy had no self control.



...I know...I am ashamed of myself...

The Best Ice Cream Ever! (....a.k.a. Fat Mommy)

OK....Matt brought home the best ice cream ever from work. It is called "Graeter's". It is irresistable premium ice cream. We had the cookie dough and it was the best I have ever had. I need to find out where to get it....Now why is Ivy eating an ice cream bar you ask? The answer is that she wanted some of my Graeter's ice cream and Fat Mommy didn't want to share so I gave her a Healthy Choice Fudge Bar....I am just trying to promote healthy eating in my child.She stood in front of the mirror and watched herself eat it....I know...I know...but the Holidays are alomost over!

OK........Thanksgiving is over and I decided it was time to head back to the gym. It was one of the circuit training days...my least favorite. It went from bad to worse and I couldn't use the private room I usually use so I had to lift weights etc. in the main gym. I started to do my squats when I look over and see a dad from my school working out. I wanted to die but unfortunately it gets worse..... we worked out avoiding eye contact (yet knowing that each other was there) until it was time for me to do my stomach crunches and he ended up doing push ups right next to me! Finally we mumbled something about getting back to excersisng after Thanksgiving and I let out a nervous laugh.
Luckily, the Lord decided to show me some love and I had put some make up on my face before I left. Usually I go with no make up and I don't quite get around to brushing my hair.
How did I celebrate working out? I met my sister for a chesseburger and onion rings! I NEED HELP! I blame it on Ivy because I was sending a package to Mike Penberthy in Italy for his birthday and while we were in line, Ivy starts crying and yelling " I bite! I bite" (meaning she is hungry and wants a bite to eat...how cute is she!!!!) So, I just had to meet Hollie at the Habit because it was close by and I fell into am moment of weakness and ordered the burger and onion rings instead of the salad with dressing on the side. You don't have to scold me....Hollie already did. Boo Hoo....tomorrow is another day. Kelli

Ok......I know that I need to write. I have still been working out but I am finding some good excuses to indulge in some good treats. I asked Matt if I could go to the gym tonight instead of tomorrow so that I could Thanksgiving shop tomorrow. He said yes. I was going through my workout plan and as I was working out I started to realize that my tacos, chips and milk duds for lunch were not the best idea. I started to feel sick but I perservered. needless to say I am done eating for the night. Ivy's chicken alfredo about put me over the edge just looking at it.
Ivy spent the night at my sister, Hollie's house last night. She said that Ivy woke up at 5:30 am and jumped in Hollie's bed. Hollie said they snuggled for an hour and a half and Ivy kept insisting that Hollie's arm be around her. I'm sure Hollie didn't mind. I love times like that.
Church was so good today. We love our Sunday School Pastor Tom Patton. He is going through Ecclestiastes and it has been wonderful. I think you can download his sermons on the Grace church site that I have at the bottom. He is the Cornerstone pastor. We love him!
Speaking of web sites. If you haven't looked at my friend, Ashley Kostjuk's blog lately, you need to to that. God is stretching their family in ways that I can't imagine. Reese is such a beautiful baby and I can't wait to hold her.
Take care and I will let you know how things are going soon! Kelli
