Note: If I don't have your blog linked in one of my kerjillion blogrolls (people I know in real life, people with multiples, and other random people) will you send it to me or comment it to me? Because when you switch your domain, Blogger erases all content from blogrolls. Sorry.
Okay. Onto important issues, like my real life and how Helena asked me why my belly is big, today. I was like, "Because of YOU, bitch. Because the human body isn't meant to crank out 20 lbs of baby in just two years." Miss A is exempt from blame because my belly got small again after her, probably because she was an unobtrusive 6 lbs.
Because I'm not the only one with a big belly in our family, Jason and I have started a Biggest Loser-style competition. We will be competing for 10 weeks, with weekly Monday morning weigh-ins. Progress is measured on the percentage of weight loss. The weekly winner gets to choose the frequency of sexual activity for the week. I blushed and almost threw up while typing that. I'm now giving myself a pep talk on how sex is normal. Deep cleansing breaths.
The overall loser at the end of the 10 weeks has to plan a date for the two of us, including lining up a babysitter, etc. Jason is clearly counting on winning, since he has no idea where to start with the babysitter thing. Luckily I have a large jar of coconut oil, so I can add that to everything I make for him and it shouldn't be a problem for me to claim victory.
Our goal is to each lose 5% by the end of the 10 weeks.
To this end, I goofed off with the Wii Fit tonight and also didn't eat second dinner even though I was starving. :( I also tried to choke down more water than usual. It's all quite tragic.

Loved this. Classic Jen.
ReplyDeleteI've been reading your blog for months and was wondering where it disappeared to off my ReaderList. Glad I found you yesterday so I could catch up ;-) The big question I have for you is how frequently you would like to engage in relations vs. your husband? I have a feeling my hubby and I would be on very different schedules! Also, if you have an iPhone, think about joining WeightWatchers online and tracking your points. It totally works for me!
ReplyDeleteI hate water. It tastes so bland next to diet coke....
ReplyDeleteI am waiting for motivation to strike me because I so need to lose weight. I think I'll be waiting awhile.
ReplyDeleteMy hubby would be all over this type of competition. I couldn't do it because he would kick my ass every week and I would be forced to revert back to the slut he thought he married. (I too pulled the old bait and switch). Also he was a wrestler and still has the ability to drop and gain weight like you wouldn't believe.
ReplyDeleteMaybe though this is the motivation I need. No sex for the week and no guilt for saying no. Hmmm. I will have to think on this.
you forgot to mention that if you have someone on your blog roll. ie: you on my blog roll that it will just not update for three weeks and you will begin to wonder what happened. I had to search for you just to find you. Good luck with your bergermeister goal
ReplyDeleteHaha, Jen! I always say my hubby and I tricked each other when we got married...he thought he was getting sex, and I thought I was getting money, so it's all fair in the end! ;-) Anyhoo, we play miniature golf at the beach on our date night without kids for sexual winnings. Well, I choose neckrubs, but he chooses something else (something I can't even type!) Luckily I've never lost...
