i am writing this whole post in comic sans for julie
because it's her favorite!
———————————————————————————–
* i got ripped with jillian. annie was home with a fever so she did it with me. halfway through she asked "do we HAVE to do this? like….will it be ok if i stop?" 🙂
she could but i couldn't.
i wanted to.
* i am out shape….like a whole bunch…i have done nothing for 2 months but sew and sleep….and i liked it.
* i AM okay with being curvy…i think i always will be.
i am not okay with my clothes from last summer not fitting…that is why i am letting jillian torture me.
* i went over the diet plan and rememebered something…
i have 6 others to cook for every night.
oh yeah!
so i will do the diet plan everyday except for dinner….
because i can.
* all the packages in my bathtub have shipped!
* i am cutting waffle's hair this weekend….my self.
it will be quite a challenge! i just couldn't bare spending the money on grooming one more time. we shall see if i can do it. craig has to help me.
* i love sunshine!
* i hate being yelled at.
* i love to sleep…..yet hate to go to bed…terrible habit.
* craig asked me to watch a movie last night at 10:30. i said i needed sleep. he said "come on!" so i said ok. he was asleep in 20 minutes and snored and i was awake for the whole thing! i am embarrassed to share the movie. i should have gone to bed.
* i did like spending that time cuddled up next to him….even if he snored.
Nicole - Hehe, Meg, what was the movie?
sheri - Meg, I am a relatively new blogger and you my friend are by far my very favorite blogger. Your post crack me up. I have the 30 day shred with Jillian and it’s still sitting in the DVR – I need to get motivated – maybe if I keep reading your post it will happen. Thanks for the great post and for adding sunshine to our days. Be blessed…..and ripped 🙂
julia @ Simpletruths - Love to sleep, but hate going to bed. This is my reality almost every night. I’ve started brushing my teeth and washing my face early (~10). It keeps me from snacking the night away AND when I finally get up from the couch/put away the yarn/ turn off the computer/take the zucchini bread out of the oven…. I can just hop into bed 🙂
Jill - I wanted to tell you that you inspired me, I went out and bought Ripped in 30 on Friday night! I already exercise but want to take it up a level… plus I think Jillian is awesome. I’ve done it for 2 days, so far so good. I’ve resisted looking at the food plan, but suppose I should…
Thanks for the great blog! It’s one of my favorites!
Kristin S - Press on! You can do it! Curvy girls unite! I love being curvy too but my middle is getting a bit too fluffy for my taste. As soon as all my 40th birthday cake is gone, I’m eating salad all week. Maybe.
Is comic sans REALLY her favorite? It is my biggest pet peeve font.
Sarah - Jeff did the same gosh darn thing to me about the movie…but I was annoyed because I was trying so hard to stay up for the whole thing and I look back and I could tell he’d been sound asleep the whole time. And I cut Sammy’s fur because I am a cheapo and he looks a little funny but I don’t care. I can tell he hates going anywhere anyways, he shakes like crazy. But I’m not doing it to be nice, honestly, I am doing it to save $30.
I love that Annie. I like easy exercise videos, the hard ones give me a headache. I am doing Cindy Crawford circa 1993 on VHS. I am not kidding….and I’m doing it for the same reason you are…I just want to fit in my clothes! 🙂
Jes - i too love sleep, but not going to bed. Its a power struggle i think. My husband is always first asleep but we always watch his show before bed. I don’t argue b/c he never lasts long- and I agree about the snuggling, even when there’s snoring 🙂
Lin - Come on Meg. You’re safe with us. What was the movie? ** I made myself watch The Hangover this week because it somehow ended up in my Netflix queue and I couldn’t return it unwatched (for reasons I don’t understand).
Stephanie - I always say, the morning me hates the night me! Someday my children will learn to sleep past 6 and then it will balance out… I hope:)
Mindi - I am doing shredded with jillian and my three year old loves to do it with me… her favs are the butt kicks , jump rope and high knees. She did ask me yesterday, “why is Jillian yelling at you?! lol
leonieke - i can’t wait to see the pictures of your dogs makeover,.
Flower Patch Farmgirl - “i love to sleep…..yet hate to go to bed…terrible habit.”
This is the perfect encapsulation of my life and all of its sundry woes.
ps – It’s 12:15 a.m. and Elton John is being a weirdo on SNL and tomorrow in church I’ll swear that I’m going to go to bed earlier next time…
Jami - I love you blog! You gave me an epiphany, I love to sleep but hate to go to bed! I never realized that.lo,
steph - ugh… diets with a family? that is hard!!!
good luck!
i find it hard to cook for all the individual tastes in our home.
if it were just me, i’d cook SO different!
you’re gonna look awesome at the end of april. 🙂
ha… and if you feel the need to quit, i have a great diet/weight loss plan.
i’m just getting over being really, really sick.
sinus infection, ear infection, the flu.
it’s been brutal!
BUT… i did lose 5 lbs! ha ha ha ha ha ha!
don’t worry… i’ll gain it all back soon enough. 🙂
oh man… i can so relate with the sleep too.
right now i should be sleeping… trying to get better (i’ve felt the best i have in 4 days right now but i don’t wanna backslide)
and here i am… just parusing the interweb.
staying up late when i’m sick b/c i like to stay up late!
gaaaaaa!
need to sleep now!
shauna reed - jillian is so rad/horrible
we have an on again off again relationship.
she reveals muscles that i didn’t know i had and i silently curse her….
good luck toning up those curves hot momma.
you can do it.
Catherine - I began reading and thought…”she got drunk in the middle of the day??” knowing full well that it didn’t make sense, but you “got ripped” lol… you need to search “Comic Sans man” on you tube. Good luck with Jillian, I need to do the same thing! (c:
jodi @ back40life - girl – that is so us watching tv at night…my DH can fall asleep in 2 mins flat, seems like, and if I start watching it…it’s like I can’t stop. I’ve finally said NO – we just can’t watch that to some things…because it will drive me crazy 🙂
most nights now, we fall asleep to “modern marvels” – that monotone voice gets me everytime!
Necole - I do not think my husband and I have finished a movie together since we have had our three girls.
karen - oh..i love to sleep yet HATE going to bed too! Such a baddd habbit! My kids are in bed by 8 and my husband is in bed by 9:30..so by 12 or 1am i can get about 3 hours all TO MYSELF!
I pay for it in the morning and unfortunately sometimes so do my kiddies 🙁 Got to change that habit Fo Sho. Yay for shipping!! Now i’m so curious as to what movie you watched!! Just tell us!
Andrea - I do the same thing. The time at night when everyone – hubby and kids – are safe in bed and the house is quiet (and sometimes even picked up!) is so peaceful. I read blogs — this one first, of course – or knit or watch reruns. I know I should sleep but that’s such a neat time to be awake!
Valerie - I love when you write your random thoughts because I love your randomness. Jillian…wow, you’re serious! She scares me 🙂 Let us know how that goes, I might just need the torture.
Amy S. - Any idea if Ripped in 30 is the same as 30 day Shred? I’ve been doing that one and it’s good. Good when it’s done that is. Way to go. I also said yes to a movie at 10:15 last night and will also not say what it was. Complete waste of 2 hours of my life. Should have gone to sleep.
Julie - Comic sans. My love language. Throw a clown in there and all would be right with the world.
Maria - I walked by the Jillian DVD the other day and thought of you! You go! I am currently being tortured at the gym (body pump, body combat-ouch, extra strength-super ouch, and my beloved Zumba).
I love to stay up late…always regret it when the morning comes…but take frequent naps! ( laundry?, what laundry?)
Love your saturday posts too! Enjoy the rest of your weekend and good luck with waffle!
Gemma - Hi Meg!
I fall asleep whenever we watch a film in the evening…I remind myself of an old granny!
Gemma x
Lisa - I don’t know why but I love this post! Probably cause it sounds a bit like my life. Especially the out of shape part and choosing to watch a movie with my husband even when I should go to bed. And watching a movie all the way through because I always think it will redeem itself! 🙂
Routhie - I bought the ripped dvd. During the 1st work out, I only did wall push ups. Even at my peak as a gymnast, I could not do a push up. Wall push ups are good, although I bet Jillian would disagree. 12 days in, I caught the flu. Keep us informed on how the other workouts go! I only did the 2nd one a few times before I got sick. It was hard and made me think if I did the 1st one for 30 days, that would be good enough.
Jessica Johnson - i’m thinking about grooming our dog myself, too. our groomer always yells at me b/c i don’t bring him in for his monthly nail trim. i try to explain that the dog is not going to get his nails done more than me but she doesn’t understand. or i think maybe i need to find a new groomer. b/c i hate being yelled at, too. especially when i pay to get yelled at.
Gina - I completely understand your first yellow comment. I have always been curvy, but you’re right, it’s kind of a bummer when your clothes stop fitting!
Kimberlee J. - I thought Julie liked Papyrus. 🙂
Jacci - I love when you post on Saturday 🙂
Photography Bumblebee - it’s too bad that you have to let yourself be tortured by jillian, but i know that it works, so i’m rooting for you. 🙂 all the best.
Nicole Q. - I love your random thoughts … me and two of my kids just finished Ripped in 30. Now we are eating some chips. HA! Have a good weekend.
Tricia - Don’t you hate it when you’re too tired to go to bed? So many nights I find it impossible to work up the energy to brush my teeth and wash my face so instead I fall asleep on the couch until 1am. I can only imagine what Jillian would have to say about that!
Maggie - I’m curvy too, at one point we just have to embrace the shape God intended for us.
jennibell - Ha! Will be starting with Jillian as soon as my DVD arrives. . .today I think? Good for you. . .I like your food plan. . .may have to adapt that for myself. I always feel like I could diet if I didn’t have to be in the kitchen 🙂 Have a great weekend and hoping there’s lots of sunshine in it for you!!
And, nobody likes to be yelled at. Sometimes I have to remember that when I’m frustrated. And not cry when it comes right back at me.
debbie - PLEASE be careful grooming Waffle. My cousin wanted to save on grooming costs and ended up paying the vet $200.00 for stitches!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Arielle - comic sans=nails on a chalkboard. totally share that pet peeve with julie.
i don’t think you can mess up with waffle. even if you butcher it, he’ll still be adorable. that is one cute dog!
Sarah @ Handbags*N*Pigtails - LOVE the rainbow paragraphs. LOVE that my girl’s hoodie is on its way(and yay for you who can now take a bath once again). Love that you’re giving the doggie home-groomin. You can totally do it. And then come over here and clean my doggie too. Have a great day!
XO,
Sarah
Kimberly Dial - Oh Meg … you crack me up! Be sure to post pics of dear ‘Waffle’ … Jillian digs the torture — I keep telling myself it’s good for me 😉

HUGS FROM MY HEART TO YOU MEG.

Trish - jillian is torturing me too… i pretty much hate her right now. hoping that i will love her in a few weeks 🙂 today is my day 11. down almost 7 pounds. pretty happy about that.
oh and you looked fab-u-lo-so in Cali… oh and I just ordered that Matilda Jane dress that you had on in San Diego… LOVE it 🙂
hugs to you 🙂
Hillcrest Cottage - I am going to cut my labradoodle’s hair for the second time soon… you can do it!!!!
What a cute dog!
georgia - Diets = evil
Pizza = yummers!
Sarah@this farm family's life - I don’t believe in diet food. I think it is all about portion control! Good luck with Jillian! Happy weekend!
Sugar Mama - I got the workout dvd too for the same reason… except I have spent WAY more than 2 months doing nothing. More like 2 years.
The dvd will be arriving at my house on Monday. I’m excited AND scared at the same time.
lauren - once my mom and i cut our old airdale terriers hair to save the money. she looked like a drowned rat.. you could see the shame in her eyes… like you could really see it since we cut off all her eyebrows and face hair and poofy legs..;)there was nothing on that dog you couldn’t sese. clearly we should have actully studied a picture of an airdale cut before we took the clippers to her. 🙂
Heather - My hubby is forever asking me to join him for a movie late in the evening and then he slips into unconscious bliss while I’m up watching the thing!
Comic Sans is my fave, too – but I take a lot of flack for it!
Karen Lehmann - oh my gosh – I love to sleep but hate going to bed too! I will stay up until 12 or 1 and then regret it every morning but i just LOVE my late night time to myself. Currently running on three to five hours of sleep a night which is not nearly enough time for me. I need to nap!
Chaos-Jamie - better wife than me. Brent wanted to watch DVR’d Fringe and I fell asleep in the first 10 minutes. At 10, I gave up and went to bed. And I LOVE Fringe.
amy smith - let me know how the whole cutting waffle thing goes… i am debating grooming guster myself… but everytime i think about it, i end up trimming his eyes and between his paws, and calling it good. 🙂
