The Thinking Tongue

Ever since Papa rolled into town my sweet little cutie pie

has developed a "thinking tongue!"

How do I get off this chair? I think and think and think and think and suddenly I know! (no that's not Summer that's Pinky Dinky Do-funny only to me)

Ok, so in Papa's defense he didn't train her to stick her tongue out however it is a unintentional habit that he does and she must have picked up on that.

BOOTCAMP UPDATE:
I feel skinny folks!
And I have to give a shout out to my wonderful husband, Chad, who is taking over Summer's nighttime feeding, bathing and bedtime 3 nights a week for the next 4 weeks.
I realize that feeling skinny and looking skinny are not related however it feels good. My tummy isn't hanging out as much and my sore muscles make me feel strong! (yeah-flex your muscles to that!). I am going to post my homework assignments for yall but mostly for Jen and Rachel who are both doing bootcamp in their different cities.


Days 1,3,5

• 30 sec jumping jacks
• 15 sit-ups
• 30 sec run in place
• 15 push ups (not using knees just bend your arms as much as you can)
• 30 sec butt kicks
• 25 crunches
• REPEAT 3 times with NO down time in between.

Days 2,4,6

• 45 sec run in place
• 20 front lunges
• 30 sec jumping jacks
• 20 reverse lunges
• 5 squat thrusts
• REPEAT 3 times with NO down time in between

I thought the second set of exercises (2,4,6) were going to be easier but let me tell you that a jumping jack had never been harder immediately after doing 20 lunges...try it out and see for yourself.

Meal plan - folks I have cheated only once...and guess what it was - Brown rice for dinner last night! That's right, brown rice...not really considered cheating as I can have it but just not at dinner time. It turns out it wasn't that satisfying and so I won't be tempted to do that again. The guilt of "cheating" wasn't worth it.

Feedback - tell me how yall are doing? I know some of you are eating right and exercising. Jen, you are 2 weeks ahead-are you skinny yet? Rachel-how was your first bootcamp?



Oh, one more thing. I volunteered for the Junior League consignment shop yesterday (great steals by the way) and met this nice lady who was shopping. She said she was "traveling" (I am pretty sure she doesn't have a home) and she was looking for a change of clothes. She picked up these amazing jeans that typically sell for $200 and in perfect condition. At first I was like, dang, I thought I picked up all the great stuff before the store opened. She shopped for a while and then wanted me to help her select what to get. The criteria she wanted me to decide on was what would dry the fastest. She didn't care about fit or color or name brands, simply what would dry overnight. I don't want to put pity on her because I don't think that is right. I simply wanted to interact with her like I would-YOU. So I said, let me see and we went around the store trying to find lightweight pants that were made of a quick dry material...and we did.


Remember next time you see someone less fortunate than you to interact with them like you would one of your friends.
PS - I bought those jeans for skinny Jen!
