« Yeah... I wrote about MEAT LOAF... Jealous? · Main · The Writer's Block continues, so this is all I've got, people. »

What "Blog Suckage" looks like.

Because I do not have time to write ,because I have a daughter whose idea of a "Good Time" is running on the sofa, falling off and almost breaking her neck... twice, ruining the 4 videos I've taken of her by ripping the tape to shreds, pooping, dumping my SORTED COUPONS all over the house, taking laundry out of drawers and so and and so forth, I "give you" my most recent weight loss progress picture...

Then and Now (40ish to go... STILL)

I know, I know. Annoying, but the truth is, I'm proud of my progress (I'd like it noted in "the record" that I said something positive about myself.). And, again, I can't actually write anything because my daughter is TEARING MY HOUSE APART.

However, if you want to read something that will make you laugh so hard you'll cry a little, and that is not about my ass, please, go! read THIS.

"She's practically bionic. She just doesn't know it".

Genuis, I tell you. I think I love him more than I love meatloaf.

And that's like, a lot.

Wow Y you're lookin' good. I so wish it was me losing the weight! But I'm so happy for you!

Posted by: Mrs darling at February 23, 2006 02:22 PM

You look awesome!

Does your gym have any sort of gymboree class for kids? Because it sounds like Gabby has TONS of energy -- she could gymboree while you workout!

Posted by: stephanie at February 23, 2006 02:28 PM

You've always looked fantastic; now you look happier! I mean, check out the attitude in the "before" picture... ;)

Posted by: Kate at February 23, 2006 02:30 PM

My dear, that is definitely a difference. I applaud you! Keep up the hard work. After all, no pain, no gain... er, uh, loss... yah.

Posted by: Randi at February 23, 2006 02:50 PM

Holy shit woman! You're looking great. Damn I'm jealous. I've hit this weight that I can't break past. It's so frustrating! Keep it up. You look hot!

Posted by: Ms. Q at February 23, 2006 05:03 PM

You should get some of those kid gates and put her in one room that's kid proof...then let her run wild! haha We love the gates here. And? If you get the right one, it's tall enough that it keeps the old people out as well as the babies. hehe
Looking good with the weight loss and stuff!

Posted by: NinaKaye at February 23, 2006 05:50 PM

You look awesome! And a lot happier. That's the most important part...

You look really great! I'm wondering what your workout routine is like? I'm looking more like your "before" photo these days and you have really inspired me! Congratulations on what you have done so far and I really hope you meet your goal. Rock on wit yo bad self!!

Posted by: Kerry at February 23, 2006 07:39 PM

holy canole batman! you should say something positive :) talk about PRO.GRESS. whoa...how motivating...now, if i can only get motivated myself to lose 20lbs of my lingering preggie weight...here, i wanted to lose an extra 10 in addition to the 20, but i'm still hanging onto those 20lbs since my baby was 3 weeks old and she's now almost 4months.

i'll keep looking at this for inspiration though!

great job!!!!

Posted by: beanie's mama at February 23, 2006 07:44 PM

Wow, you are lookin' good!

Posted by: gc at February 23, 2006 09:34 PM

Wow! Look at you! I wish I had done some before pictures. I might be a little more motivated and less down right now as I seem to be stuck loosing and gaining the same two pounds at the moment

Posted by: Rambler at February 24, 2006 06:05 AM

You are HOTTT... with three Ts. That's like super duper hot.


Honestly, you should be so proud of yourself and all the hard work that you are doing.

Posted by: chris at February 24, 2006 06:28 AM

Wow, you are kickin' ass and takin names. I wish I could be brave enough to take before pictures, I can't imagine how proud and motivated you must feel...keep it up. If you have the urge to share any tips, my ears are open. Miss Gabby is really just trying to give you an at home workout so her fav person doesn't have to leave her to go to the gym.

Posted by: Jes at February 24, 2006 06:55 AM

You look FANTASTIC!

Posted by: Mickie at February 24, 2006 07:10 AM

HOTTY HOTT.

Posted by: Sarcastic Journalist at February 24, 2006 04:09 PM

OMG!!!!!!

Posted by: shy me at February 24, 2006 07:18 PM

you look great, y!

&i hope this isn't totally creepy of me to say, but you've totally inspired me to actually get in shape. why? because you're awesome and because a lot of the time, i feel like you do. i don't know if that makes sense, but i've been hittin' the sauce, so whatever.

also, i think 'hittin' the sauce' is both a silly phrase and definitely not helping me get in shape. but whatever. ;)

Posted by: tracy at February 24, 2006 09:17 PM

HOLY SHIT!

You are spectacular.

Ditch the greywear, though. Mkay?

I need to ditch my black, so it's all good.

Hot DAMN, woman! You have the best skin. EVER.

Posted by: Autumn at February 25, 2006 01:35 AM

WOW! Great job on your weight loss! I hope to SOMEDAY post similar pics of myself. You are inspiring!

Posted by: Karin at February 25, 2006 07:33 AM

Congratulations, you look awesome. Keep up the good work. I hope you are as happy on the inside as you look on the outside. I need to lose a good 10 lbs myself and you are inspiring me to get going. Thanks for sharing your photo’s.
I think a lot of women suffer from “distorted body image”. We never think we look good or are worthy of compliments, but dam girl, You look good. You deserve the compliments. Stop putting your self down and enjoy your life, you have three wonderful kids who need you just to be their mom.
Take care

Posted by: Nancy at February 25, 2006 01:28 PM

I am so envious that you have been able to stick with it (even though there were tough, tough days). You look FABULOUS!

Go Spurs Go! ;-)

About Y
My name is Y, but you can call me "Jesse's girl." I am an Aerobic Dancer and have mastered many moves, but the one I am the most proud of is "The Monkey." I have three kids. ALL FROM THE SAME DAD (Because, did you know someone actually asked me that question?) A 15 year old son, a 11 year old son and a 4 year old daughter who was not planned but who is loved more than words could ever express. I am addicted to Starbucks, reality TV and to getting really good deals through coupons and "club member" savings (Please, respect The Costco Card.) I am extremely competive and if you don't believe me, just ask my husband about the time I sold him out to win a game of Taboo. If you're waiting for the part where I speak of my love for walks on the beach or slow dancing in the rain, you're going to be disappointed because my idea of a good time usually involves things like "burping contests" and "doing The Worm".
