A Little Math

Posted by Kym

Not reading blogs = sad lonely Kim

No laptop = more stair climbing

Less time on computer + schmuck of a husband = FOUR and a half pounds lost since Monday!

Neil’s new fishtank + curious Emma = a four year old with a worryingly cavalier attitude towards death

A Kim eager to lose weight and craving image change = A hair cut that’s just the weest bit too short  Ah well

Having to write 2600 words today, take the kids to the babysitter, attend a lovely party at a friend’s house, and then drive an hour to a church function which will take up most of the evening and needing to prepare the lesson for the primary kids tomorrow = getting off the computer pretty much immediately

Still.  FOUR AND A HALF POUNDS!  IN SIX DAYS!

Weightloss Guru-dom here I come!

  1. Heidi Ashworth Said,

    AWESOME on the weight loss! Such a crazy, busy day, surely that will ditch several pounds all by itself! Four years old seems to be the “cavalier towards death” age. I wouldn’t worry.

  2. LisAway Said,

    The hair looks cute!! I really wanted short hair and had it cut and HATED it with a wicked burning hatred. Now it’s growing out and it just looks shaggy. I wish i dared to cut it like yours! But I don’t think I could pull it off.

    And congratulations on the weight loss!! Wow! That’s terrific. And hopefully your starting to feel in a groove so it won’t be too much of a chore? But make sure you’re taking care of yourself, too! :)

  3. Jan Said,

    That is totally amazing Kim. Keeping climbing the stairs. Wow.

  4. Lisa Milton Said,

    You always look great. And if I could say: I wish I could ever drop 4 pounds in one week.

    But alas, I am getting OLD and it doesn’t work anymore. sniff

    :) Have a great day, and write, my dear, write.

    I’m not sure whether to congratulate you or hate you for those four and a half pounds . . .

  6. Steph @ Diapers and Divinity Said,

    I don’t know you personally, of course, but I have to say that based on your headshots alone, that haircut makes you look 10 years younger. Seriously. You look early 20s. (maybe you are!)

  7. Crystal Said,

    omg congratulations, Kym! 4.5lbs is FANTASTIC for 2-3 weeks much less 6 days! Wow! :D

  8. Rebecca Said,

    Wow! Four and a half pounds? That’s almost a full bag of flour!

    I am impressed and a bit jealous. I was down 1 lb this morning, but that’s peanuts compared to you!

    Well….not peanuts. A bag of lentils, maybe.

    Rebecca´s last blog post..I have sunk to new lows.

    Woo hoo!! :))

  10. Melanie J Said,

    Almost a full bag of flour? That’s hilarious.

    And congrats. I don’t know if I’d suggest the Neil method to everyone, or really anyone, but I guess take it if it works and shake that now lighter booty in a weight loss victory dance. Oh, and maybe throw a shimmy in for fun.

    Holy pounds!!! That’s great, lady!

    Maybe I should throw out the laptop too…

    And the hair is great. No such thing as too short. At least in my book :)

    About Me

    The Truth

    I make no promises which cannot be kept through laziness and self-indulgence.

    I'm a skinny person from the neck up. There's a reason you only ever see head shots of me. Yes, I suffer from floating head syndrome.

    I don't know why I'm bothering to fill this section in since I'll probably change templates before anyone thinks to look down here anyway.
