This Post Contains Active Diet Meltdown Cultures
Happy Bloggiversary to us (one day late). I agreed to start this blog w/ Rebecca because 1.) We’ve been cracking each other up on the phone (and in person) for years about our attempts at weight loss; 2.) our mother TOTALLY thinks we’re funny so we MUST be funny 3.) I’m fed up with not getting to eat cookie dough for breakfast/lunch/dinner 4.) Rebecca’s my older sister and she made me.
I think it’s fantastic that my co-blogger has lost 11 pounds in a year. Monumental, really. (Don’t get me wrong…I thought she looked fine before.) Me? Ok, so I weighed myself. And…well…
{look away now} {seriously, here’s where things start to go down hill in this post}
I’ve had a net loss of 1 pound from a year ago today.
{you can still get out alive…stop reading now}
Um…there’s a fork in my eye…does that mean I’m done. A fork. In. My. Eye. ‘Cuz that’s where I just stabbed it.
Ok…and when I started writing this post, I was planning to go a whole different way. And now…gah! One pound? ONE POUND????!!!!!! The money I’ve spent on Atkins’ bars and spinning classes and one pound???????????!!!!!!
{snarfle,gurgle, shuffle, crash}
See, cuz what happened is, I actually started to GAIN weight after blogging about losing weight. Then I spent the latter part of ’08 removing the blog weight. Which I have done. But huh…whah…
{crash, snorfle, thump}
{Robin has now left to go and eat a Fiber One bar. She’ll be fine. Seriously.}
Don’t forget to register for our spanking new giveaway!!!!
Oh, Robin, I’m so sorry the blog made you gain weight!! I hope that FO bar helps you recover from the shock – it probably will if it’s the kind with chocolate.
I had a similar crazy weight gain a little over a year ago. Thanks to some major health complications and 8 days of hospital food, I went home after delivering my daughter weighing LESS than when I got pregnant.
But did I embrace that and roll with it? Uh, no. I solved that little weight loss problem with cookies. And cookie dough. And late night chips and dip.
So, here I am, 15 lbs heavier than that day and 80 lbs overweight. But this year, Robin. THIS YEAR! We’ll do it! I know it!
(Sorry, don’t mind the crazies. I already ate my FO bar.)
Oh god, this cracked me up. I have SO BEEN THERE! Let’s have a mini-meltdown dance party, you guys!
Thanks PQ and Mrs. T. I’m feeling a little less meltdowney since I posted. Also, technically, the blog didn’t make me gain weight. Seriously, if I could figger out how to eat my computer, I probably would.
Oh…and I wrote figger to be cute, then I worried maybe somebody thought I really thought it was figger instead of figure.
And then…I realized typing this disclaimer and explanation of the use of the word figger was probably NOT helping my case that I’m no longer melting down.
happy anniversary! i love you ladies!
OK, you guys are hilarious. I love coming to your blog because it’s very entertaining to read and you have great posts. And Robin, I started my blog just in late November and until this past week have done nothing but gain weight since doing so. So I feel you for the gain. You crack me up.
Fiber 1 bars are flippin’ delicious. I also spent the greater part of Blog Year One taking off a net gain. I am back where the metaphoric WE began. Look at it this way, sis, we love the chase.
Thanks Cookie, I love you too. Both the actual you and the you that comes in raw dough form.
Nicole, I never think of us as the metaphorical we. You complete me. And, at this rate, together we will spell 00. (which meant something when I thought it, but now not so much after I typed it).
Carry on.
You’re sisters? Where did I miss that one? And which one of you used to be Greta and which one was Kiki? I’m cool with dropping the anonymity, but it’s also a bit like having your favorite football team up and move to a new city.
Congrats on the one pound loss! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve looked back one year and realized I’d gained thirty. Hrmph!
and Im even later!!
happy blogaversary. Mines coming up…and when I turn one I so wanna drag MY sister into the blogging fray as well.
love the blog. i’m a trainer and ike checking in on your progress! Be happy that you didn’t GAIN weight. Its a lot of work to just maintain as we get older! The majority of the population probably did gain. anyway it may seem a little much but there a lot ofSUPER informational articles on http://www.figureathlete.com and http://www.bodybuilding.com The transformations are SUPER motivational and it gives you some direction. i don’t work for them or anything, i’m a mom looking to help people out!
