Celebrate.... a little

So.... as embarrassing as it is. I need to celebrate a little. My work is doing a "Biggest Looser" contest, by percentage of weight lost. And I know that I have a very good chance of winning. A very good chance.

There are two embarrassing things about this.
1- That I have to admit that I need to loose weight, because I am 24 (almost) and I should not have to loose weight yet.
2- nope.... there is just the one embarrassing thing.

Anyway. I am down 6.5 lbs. And I needed to tell someone. Whoot Whoot! I feel so proud of me! Only 33 to go!

My hope is that because the last 25 lbs have been gained in the last year... they will fall off easier. I heard somewhere that weight you have been carrying for years takes longer to get off. SO I am going to be awesome and get rid of it NOW! The last 15 lbs I have been battling since high school.... SO who knows right? I am going to pray hard and do something crazy... like the HCG diet. or something.

Thanks for letting me tell you Katie. It is hard for me celebrate, because then I have to admit I have a problem simultaneously. Therefore.... no facebook.... no church friends..... no one.

Differences

Do you know what the difference is between me and a famous blogger?

Sometimes I am in the mood to write tons of posts.... so I do. And it is awesome.

Some times.... I couldn't care less.

Baby Girl!

Had the other ultrasound today - it's a baby girl!!

And she is adorable!! We got a picture of her with both of her fists up, looking like she is about to take a swing at somebody (namely, my stomach). She is already a feisty little girl, and I can't wait to meet her.

I will post pictures. I just need to figure out how to scan :/

What is more awkward?

What is more awkward?

1. Choosing a bathroom stall next to someone else's when there no one else in any other stall?
2. Going into a stall someone just walked out of?

This happened to me the other day (see image below) Someone was in the red stall, and the green stalls were open. And just as i walked in someone walked out of the yellow stall....

Which one do I take?

All I will say is that I almost freaked out trying to decide. It is just so darn awkward!

Looking for recipes for two, with less than 10 ingredients, that take less than 1 hour to make...

I made Chicken and Dumplings for the first time last night.

Actually, I also ATE Chicken and Dumplings for the first time last night.

Turns out, it isn't bad really...and it's quite simple to make. I've decided we are going to eat at home a lot more, which means I have been doing more cooking, which means I have had to find recipes.

You know what is difficult? Trying to find recipes for TWO PEOPLE that don't involve a million ingredients. I have a book called "30 minute meals" that I thought would be perfect... well, it is a *little* inconvenient when you have to travel to 3 different grocery stores and specialty markets and spend $30 per meal, if not more. Why don't I just eat out if I am going to do that?

Weird

Do you know what is weird?

My belly button is disappearing.

And soon, it will vanish.

And then it will stick out.. Yikes.

Slacking

Well, it's the New Year. And I didn't make any resolutions this year. Maybe if I had, I would have stayed updated on the blog??

Probably not.

Anyway, turns out the opinion of the blog is likely wrong, and that I am having a girl :)

Another ultrasound (I am getting one tomorrow) should hopefully firm up the details..
