state of my ass, sort of.

I am driving myself to Charlotte on Friday to go see my sister and my mom, and the big kids are tagging along so they can spend some time with their grandparents.

I cannot even begin to explain how badly I need a weekend.

I am SO VERY looking forward to being sans kids for a few days.

I went for a trim last night, because I had wings in my hair, and I told my chick to go a tad shorter on the sides. Maybe 1/4", so that my hair wouldn't look like a new millenium rendition of the Flying Nun.

I now have super short hair. So I need to lose a lot of weight, really fast, so that my head is in proportion to my body.

Oh the problems of having a small head.

(heh)

I was at Target the other night, grocery shopping, and I didn't buy any chips. Or ice cream.

It was....slightly agonizing. Very much so. I wanted so badly to grab a bag of kettle cooked salt and vinegar chips, but I didn't. I refrained.

I'm still craving those damned chips but at least they're not around. I can't eat it if it's not here.

Stupid brain.

I've also worked out every day, and the other night Chris and I were chatting about stuff (really, I was talking and gesticulating with my hands as I tend to do), and he interrupts me and goes 'whoa, Jess, I can really tell you're working out...your arms are starting to look all muscular'.

SO THAT WAS AWESOME.

Yay for arm muscles!!! Even better for wont power. You told yourself you wouldn't buy those things and you didn't. You rock! Hope you have a great weekend with your fam.

That's the thing for me, too: if I don't buy the chips, I don't eat the chips. Doesn't stop me from craving them but it certainly helps!

It's always awesome when the man in your life notices the changes you are making.

I'm down a bit of weight and I noticed that two pairs of my pants are fitting better. I have two other pairs of pants that are my benchmark ones that look good on (to me) but feel a little tight so I'll be keeping at it (and then continuing at it as we know it never ends, this workout/healthful living thing!)

Aaaawww. He's so nice. And I bet that made the chip craving a little more tolerable?? Maybe?? ;) I'm the same way. I can't buy the stuff I want, because I have zero self control. I swear I could eat a whole tub full of Nutella by myself if I bought it. lol

Nice job on the chips! I am the same way, I have to keep that stuff away from myself, lest I eat an entire bag. My weakness is dried fruit, trail mix and any other nuts. I can't stop!
