Reality Check
Last night while I was working out at the gym, I looked down at myself. I was toned, trim, and in overall great shape. I couldn't believe it! Just 7 weeks after having a baby and I had NO cellulite. None! I looked good. Damn good.
And lemme tell you, it was such a great feeling. I felt young and healthy and in shape.
...And then I woke up, hauled my fat butt out of bed, and had myself a cinnamon roll for breakfast to get over the disappointment of my reality check.
By the way, have you tried the take-and-bake cinnamon rolls that they sell at Ikea? Yeah, I know - a furniture store is an unlikely place to find tasty danish, but after eating several of them I can guarantee you that they truly are delicious. Especially right out of the oven. So warm and toasty. Mmmmmmm.

I had the same dream! And the same cinnamon roll!
Dude. I hated you all through that first paragraph. ;)
You are so lucky that 1st paragraph was followed by the second...there was some serious hate vibes going on around here :)
we all have similar dreams.
We are so damn hard on ourselves huh?
pass the cinnamon rolls now wouldya?
LOL. Only in my dreams, too.
I have that dream every night too!! Heheehee! Haven't tried the cinnamon rolls, but if they are ANYTHING like their meatballs, I'm sold! :)
Enjoy the day!
Dude, I was about to reach through the laptop and bitch slap you, but then you redeemed yourself.
Those cinnamon rolls at IKEA are like crack. I had no idea they had take and bake rolls though.... Uh oh.
God those are good.
Except they glare at me every time I say "cinnabon."
Whoops.
LM: Oops. They're not actually take-and-bake! I must be low on brain cells or something for writing that! I just put them in the oven when I get home to make them warm. So much better that way :)
Call me Pollyanna, but that sleek you is in there. Bet you'll be writing a paragraph similar to this before Valentine's Day.
I have met you.
you are a twig.
seriously, chill
:)llhlk
FCM: thank you, though I hardly see myself as a twig. It would definitely take more than a soft breeze to blow me over these days. :)
The worst part, though, is that as I get bigger, Husband seems to be getting smaller. He actually wishes he could gain weight. Grrr.
Another reason to go to Ikea!
Great Harvest has a cinnamon roll that I think gave my husband the happies yesterday.
i love cinnabon, so i am sure i would love those. damn, now i want one.
Yep, first paragraph, I was hating you...then I got over it (and had a bowl of cookie dough). Now, I feel better. agggghhhh
hmmm, gotta go to ikea this weekend anyway...
Awww maaaan, see now I'm starving....actually drooling on my keyboard.........I blame you woman and I will bill you when the keyboard finally quits due to excessive slobber!!!!!!!
However, if you want to avoid all that legal mess......you could just send me a months worth of meatballs..........
What do you mean you can't Fed-ex them.........that's just being mean!!!!!
xxx
Oh my gosh.... That looks so yummy. That's worth cellulite (in my opinion.)
That's a dream I know well.
I think I just put 10 lbs. on just looking at that cinnamon roll.

When I'm at the gym, I'm strutting my stuff feeling all hot and fit and young, then I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror and get a HUGE reality check. What happened to my cute 18 year old body and face??!!
The weight is so much worse after #2, isn't it? What have we done?
oh, you KNOW I love those damn things.
argh.
