josh: "is that the same empty red vines box i keep seeing in the trash?"
me: "um . . . no."
in a few days i will no longer have an excuse to continue my relationship with a few foods i have become a little too comfortable with. when i'm pregnant, a little switch flips in my brain and for 40 weeks my life becomes a gluttonous free fall.
when i'm not pregnant, i really am a healthy eater. i am! but for some reason, when i'm supposed to be the healthiest - like when i'm growing a human being inside me - i am not. i think it stems from those first weeks of pregnancy when just the thought of any vegetable makes my face turn green. and then for some reason, i'm never able to recover. i just never get back on track. well, at least not during the pregnancy. (except for broccoli. i still haven't been able to touch the stuff since i was pregnant with parker six years ago.)
in a few days i will be breaking up with unhealthiness and saying hello to healthy! it's always hard to break up, even when you know it's for the best. i will be sad, but i know that it's for the best and i will be able to move on.
so, farewell to: nightly bowl(s) of honey nut cheerios, ice cream, chocolate cake, 2 for $3 mcdonald's breakfasts, red vines, snapple, making brownies at 10pm, huge bowls of popcorn while watching lost24survivor, honey nut cheerios, and honey nut cheerios.
(okay, so looking at this list i'm realizing that breaking up might be harder than i'm imagining . . .)
but i can do it. if i can have babies i can at least put down the cookies, right? right!?

That was so true for me as well. I'm quite a healthy eater but in my two pregnancies... I just couldn't be parted from a Big Mac. In my "real" life I don't even enter MDs.
Enjoy the last few days withouth guilt.)
1. i was expecting something entirely different in the body of your text when i read this title. i was kind of excited to see what kind of sass you were going to come up with.
2. what happened to the valentine's day post? i've been waiting to sit at a real computer (not my phone) to comment. and now it's gone. boohoo.
I think "Lost" is pretty lame this season. Granted I have to finish watching it since I've invested so much time watching the previous seasons. It's pathetic really. I found a new show that I think you and Josh would both enjoy. It's called "Undercover Boss" and it's on CBS (Sunday's at 9pm).
you know how i feel about red vines.
When you said you have to give up the 10pm brownies, my heart went out to you, princess. Oh well, I haven't had any for a long while now, so... Love Dad
Oh my gosh those are all the things I eat on a regular basis, ha! You are so good. Good luck with that!
good luck and while your at it...bring some of that self control over to my house
i loved honey nut cheerios when I was preggers too... cereal was amazing then.
i was really hoping this would be a baby post. like with pictures of a new baby, and labor stories and all that goodness. instead you made me feel guilty for the bowl of cereal i just ate. (and really proud to have such a motivating friend!)
can't wait to see you and THE BABY soon!
hey cute girl. i'm wishing you best of luck on your delivery. may he pop out like a little tic tac. is 'he' a he or a she? i can't remember. redvines are fat free and cheerios are good for your cholesterol. just a thought.
so funny! best of luck with the delivery. Can't wait to see pictures!!!!
robin(!) why do you have to say it out loud...some things should just go unmentioned allowing me to not have to think about it...c'mon....its like talking about in-n-out....i was doing alright and then you had to go mention something like that....thanks.
i guess i could (could...) say thanks for the extra motivation. could.
Dear Robin,
I have been living that life for a month now and still have to stay away from the kitchen for fear I will eat every heart sugar cookie that was brought to my house. I feel your pain. My heart will be with you.
But you always have Diet Coke.
