Haute Couture Swimwear for Summer



C had her first of ten 30 min swimming lessons at the Cooper Fitness Center, here in McKinney, today. She did pretty well; not scared of the water at least.

My little diet monitor

Me: sticking hand in cheese it box in an attempt to quench my PMS junk food cravings. Just as I had a cheek full of crackers C comments with a very serious look on her face.

C: "Mommy, you can't eat that because you're on a diet and you'll get diarrhea."

I managed to get a few cheese its, but her little comment really made me decide to not eat anymore. Nothing like a dogmatic, candid four year old to keep you on track even if it means grossing you out to the point of gagging and never ever wanting to look at, much less chew on a cheese it again in your lifetime. What ever works, right.

The Skinny Bitch went to South Beach and got a tape worm

We've all been on diets and since the birth of my second child, I've been on more diets than ever. First, I tried nutrasystem. It's too pricey and utterly nasty. Needless to say, I don't recommend that one. Then, I got wind of Victoria Beckham's favorite book, The Skinny Bitch. Interesting read, but I had already been on that diet before the book was written back in the day. I just wasn't' ready to be that strict again. For the past three weeks I've been on the south beach diet and it's working out pretty well. Other than the major prep it takes, it's great. For the past three days we've had a flu like stomach bug and I've succumbed to eating noodles (which aren't on the diet at all). So I'm hoping that this 'bug' is a tape worm. What? You haven't heard of the tape worm diet? I haven't' tried that one purposefully, yet. I just really wanted to stay on track and I just keep thinking about all those noodles that are going straight to my ass! Let's just hope that the tape worm is gobbling them up at this very moment. Cross your fingers.
