Resisting Butter Queens from the Butter SPRAY Queen
Yea, I’m Judging This Book By It’s Cover and I Don’t Like it.
Maggie Goes on A Diet
Seriously?
And I know this shouldn’t bother me but it’s written by a man? Really? It’s wrong on so many levels I don’t even know where to begin.

Wednesday Weigh In
No change this week, but I’m taking it as a total success. Between a Saturday date night with The Husband complete with margaritas and dessert and the HUGE chocolate cake he baked on Monday (long story – he had a craving) it could have been a lot worse.
I’m doing well on my training. Even though I missed my run today, I got in the weight training. I’m trying to stay flexibly consistent! ;)

Open Letter To All The Skinny Bitches
Dear Skinny Bitches,
Hey, gurrrls! How you doooin’? Now please don’t get bent outta shape. You should know damn well I’m not a hater. I use that term bitch in a comradery-friendly kinda way, as in “Where are all my bitches at!?” Okay? Now for the sake of this here letter, I consider all you skinny bitches to be lumped in one of two categories:
Skinny Bitch #1) the bitch who cares about her health, works on her fitness and chews on good meals while keeping the sweets and other junk food shenanigans (and alcoholic beverages) to a decent minimum. She is not just slim; she’s also toned, has physical strength, and is healthy on the inside.
Skinny Bitch #2) this bitch takes her slim physique for granted like she’s aesthetically invincible for all time. It’s not that she doesn’t care about her health – she just doesn’t think much about it. And why should she? She eats like sh!t but can still throw on a bikini or skinny jeans with absolutely zero fatty interference. But little does this bitch know, her habits are gonna catch up to her. She could be pimp slapped with a muffin top at any point in time.
I used to be Skinny Bitch #2, so I’m in no way judging you. This is more of a go-tell-it-on-the-mountain and scream it loud throughout all of Slimville that your skinny-bitching may not last if you don’t do something about it right now. I’m writing to encourage you to savor what you have while creating good habits to help maintain your Bitchdom even after you (maybe) get knocked up or just get older and have to fight a slowing metabolism. If that happens, first comes the stomach, then the thighs and ass might start to spread. That’s exactly what happened to me. Why? Because I ignored anything and everything that had to do with living a healthy lifestyle. Dammit!
Oh, my dear Skinny Bitches. It is easier to maintain what you have right now rather than have to work really hard to reclaim it. And let me tell ya, if you have to work to get it back, it NEVER ends up looking quite the same as when you had it the first time around – especially when you’re older. So just appreciate what you have and care for your body from the inside out. Don’t ignore a healthy lifestyle just because your ass is skinny right now. If you do not heed my warnings, you’re gonna be saying, Woe is me! Gone are the slim days that I took for granted when I was eating bacon cheeseburgers and curly fries in my size 4 jeans.
Now get back out there and keep enjoying what you’ve got, bitches. Just be smarter about it from now on.
Love,
Josie
Hunkering down in the Hurricane
That picture was taken this afternoon as Irene started to roll in. Right now it’s raining at a good clip and the winds been picking up. Honestly, not sure if the power will stay on long enough for me to post so I’m going to cut this kinda short.
I’ve been feeling a bit blah and out of sorts. I didn’t workout today, my diet hasn’t been stellar and I even stopped journaling. It’s just a short hurricane induced funk. I’m sure it will pass as will the storm. In the mean time I’m enjoying time with the family, watching movies and getting Little Guy ready for school.
I did find time to finally get a new dinner idea up on GreenLiteBites, Chicken with Portobellos, and I posted a fun picture from yesterday on PoopButterflies.
I’ve also been getting questions about FitBloggin’12 and unfortunately I have no new news right now. Honestly, I’m still working with the hotel to get the space I want on dates that will work, but I had to walk away until school started. Negotiating with them has been too much with two kids at home. Once school starts I hope to make some progress.
I’ll end with asking a favor. I’ve been nominated as one of the Top 50 Most Inspirational Healthy Tweeps. If you feel so inclined please click over here and vote for me. I’d appreciate it! No account or sign in needed.
That’s it. I’m out.. lights are flickering!!
Oh! add on… Shared this fun post about Little Bean being EVIL on Baby’s First Year.
Now that’s really all. Although power is still on! :)
