Seriously...Open Mouth Insert Foot

It has been a while since the race, but I just wanted to let everyone know that I am still continuing my quest to be a skinny mama! This weekend however I ate my fair share of bad food...

1/2 grilled cheese (but I had a salad instead of soup so that is good right)
garlic bread with blue cheese fondue
a glass of wine
sushi, fried calamari, fried shrimp, and crab cakes
a carona light
a carmel latte from Starbucks with a berry coffee cake

Ok...so that about covers it. However, I did it with my sister, in Chicago, at Michael Jordan's restaurant, and at Shaw's Crab House! If you have never been to any of those you need to save your cheat day and GO!

Here is were things get nasty...

I was at Macy's shopping with my younger sister by only 5 years. I bought this hot green dress for a couple weddings this fall and as I was checking out the lady at the counter asked (and I am not joking)"

"Are you in town for a mother/daughter weekend?"

Seriously, If my sister is 31 years old and she thinks I am her mom then that puts me at what?

Wow...OPEN MOUTH, INSERT FOOT! I wanted to fly over the counter and start choking her!? REALLY?! Then I ran past a friends house to pick up some trucks for our sandbox...Yep, you guessed it...Her neighbor asked if I was her mother?! Seriously!! I feel like I may need to invest in some anti-aging cream!

So as the weekend in Chicago came to an end so did the crazy eating! Jump right back on the "healthy eating" train tomorrow!! Good night!

You Dirty Girl You

Well remember this post about I Want To Be A Dirty Girl well on Sunday I was one!

Thank you to my friends Mickey and Lindsay for running with me!

And yes....I RAN!

I ran over 3/4 of the way!

Am I a runner...NOPE, but I did it and I had a great time!

At this point in the race I was struggling, dripping in mud, and HOT!

I looked up as I rounded the corner and my husband and my kids surprised me!

They cheered me on over the climbing wall and under the cargo net!

I was so happy to see them!

(Lindsay...I just noticed I spelled your name wrong)

I was a mess!

It was the most awesome feeling to finish my first race!

Am I excited for my next running adventure!

BRING IT!

"You Dirty Girl You"

The Story Behind the Title

I told my son that I wanted to get rid of all the fat around my belly and get "skinny" and I asked him to help me think of a title for my blog like a title of a book. He said "I don't know what you should call it". Then a couple minutes later out of nowhere he said, "Where's The Skinny".

Then he said, "but where is the skinny" and I said "I don't have the skinny yet but I am going to" and he said "well I am skinny". He always makes me laugh with his innocent remarks and conversations. Then he said it again, "Where's The Skinny". We talked for a little bit longer and then our conversation ended as quick as it started...

I said, "well Mommy had 2 babies and I have extra skin". He said "extra skin" and I said "yes". He said "I don't have extra skin because I don't have a baby" and I said, "that's right only mommy's can have babies". Then I finished up our conversation with "I love your tummy" and he just laughed. And that was the end of that!

So that is how my blog became "Where's The Skinny". I added the Mama!
