M&M's
So, as you all know, I just recently had a baby. Babies are wonderful, losing the baby pounds, not so much. To do so I have been hitting the treadmill on a regular basis and attempting to limit the treats. Not so easy as I have just finished a near 2 year gestation. (I am an elephant~yikes!)
Anyway, tonight I hit the treadmill for 35 minutes of walk/run /iPod time. And what do you know, one of my darling kids left a Halloween size bag of M&M's in the cup holder. Eighteen colorful spheres of love. AND I ATE THEM! What the crap was I thinking? As I run I ingest more calories? However, I never met an M&M that I didn't like. I guess tomorrow I'll go for a whole hour on the treadmill.
Oh, well. As Dory would say, "Just keep swimming, just keep swimming...swim, swim, swiiiim, swiiiim!"
That's awesome! Dang Kids! I like your new wallpaper. I'm glad to see you're gearing up for Christmas too.
ReplyDeleteMary you crack me up!!! I feel your pain!!! Tell me the site for your backgrounds. I love them!!! Can't wait to see you!
ReplyDeleteI use leelou blogs. The Merry Christmas icon is a link to their site.
ReplyDeleteI love it! What a true post! I always tell myself when I'm downing whatever dessert of the day that those lovely calories are the reason I spend time on the treadmill, to at least keep me even and it always makes me feel better so I can enjoy my treats guiltfree! Give yourself credit for at least eating them on the treadmill instead of on the couch.
ReplyDeleteYou crack me up!! I am actually working today. The one and only shift I got on the whole schedule. The first one in 6 weeks. WOW! Loving the M&M's post! I never met one I didn't like either!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean! The m&m's, the longer than normal pregnancy, and the halloween candy! I caught my son hiding candy this year so I asked him what he was doing. He said he was hiding it from the girls because last year they snuck into his candy. I had to admit, that no, it was mom, and I would make sure and ask before I did it this year. Seriously, they get so much I didn't think he would notice. So, now I just sneak into the girls candy when he's not here to ask.
ReplyDeleteHilarious! You always make me laugh!
ReplyDeleteI give you TONS of credit for getting on the treadmill at all!! However, my butt just keeps getting bigger as I sit here typing and eating ice cream!! Thanks for the motivation -- I NEED it!
ReplyDeleteyou are so funny mary.... and, you should eat M&M's while working out.... i think i might try it tomorrow... then i will remember what i am running for...
ReplyDeleteBrandy, I had to stop stealing my kids candy this year and ASK. It was difficult! We didn't buy any chocolate though, so I've been having withdrawls...thus the M&Ms on the treadmill!
