It’s sanni-licious

[Please *click* for my Wordless Wednesday entry]

Dear Frank,

I’d like to get a wii just to see what the craze is all about… That and I could stand to lose a few more (ahem… 25) pounds. If I had a Wii and Wii Fit, I might finally be convinced that excercise outside the expensive gym isn’t evil and that cake is not a food group.
I’d love to have the wii sports bundle like a fat girl loves cake… wait, I am a fat girl. Oh well.
I’m pretty sure Jersey would like me to get a wii fit because then she could make fun of my non-athletic abilities. She’s so mean.
Yeah, and here’s another reason why a wii fit would be so much fun: I could test Jersey’s athletic abilities. Yes, I am mean, too.
And finally the last reason why every guy should get their girls a wii fit:

[drunk] Look, the thing about my family is there’s five of us. Marge, Bart, Girl Bart, the one who doesn’t talk, and the fat guy. How I loathe him.

LICK

Last night I had one of my weird dreams.

In my dream I was sharing my bath tub with all my favorite haagen-dasz ice creams.

While taking a relaxing bubble bath the bathtub transformed into a huge cone. The water turned into scoops… lots of scoops… lots of fantasti-licious Haagen Dasz ice-cream scoops. I was burried under ice cream. No escape. No spoon.

I’m pretty sure I gained a few pounds last night - although the the billion delicious licks of ice cream were just a dream… caused by extended weightloss delusuion or Mo’s ice cream doodle

And now…
… our moment of Homer J.:

Homer: I’’ll never wiggle my bare butt it public again
Lisa: I’d like to believe that this time, I really would.

The Weightloss Ticker…

… has replaced the Due-Date Ticker of Hamster 2.0 - it was just a matter of time. The baby-girl Lily, formerly known as Hamster 2.0, is 1 month old, as well as my after pregnancy weightloss struggle Part #2.

I’ve lost 39.6 lb so far - 25.3 lb to go. It’s nice to see the ticker moving to the right, because right is the right way. I didn’t follow a certain diet, just ate when I found time to do so.

There’s no pressure and no defined date when I want to finish “Project Weightloss”, because that doesn’t work anyway.

However, let’s face it: I’ve lost lots during the last month but I’m far far away from being in shape.

If I’d paint some flowers on my after-pregnancy-alien belly everyone might think I’m wearing my granny’s apron. The look into the mirror is not very… let’s say delighting.

That’s why I’m again going to bother you with a weightloss post here and there.

My weekly weigh-in is on Sundays. Please keep your fingers crossed for me - the earlier I’ll be back to sanni-licious the sooner the diet bla bla will go up in smoke *g*

Homer: Kids, you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try.

Marcia Kilgore, the founder of Bliss, ­ the Mecca for spa hoppers on both sides of the Atlantic, teamed up with engineers and designed a shoe that´s named FitFlop.

As soon as I saw them, I knew I had to have them. Truth be told, I wasn’t the only woman dying to get her feet into the latest greatest leg-toning thigh-trimming footwear…

The King’s Road Sporting Club in London, UK was one of the first shops to stock the miracle shoes and sold more than 700 pairs in three days. Owner Michael Conitzer said:

In 13 years I’ve never seen anything like this. It is the fastest-selling product we’ve ever had.

The FitFlop website apologises for the current limited availability of the sandal, which is due to it “selling out faster than you can say gluteus maximus”.

So, if you’re not already pounding the streets with a pair of FitFlops, you’ll have to join the thousands in the queue for this summer’s must-have footwear.

13 reasons why I adore my FitFlops

1.) After Luis was born I started my weightloss journey -I´ve lost 142lb so far, exercising plays an important role in this weightloss. I rarely have the time to go to the gym… so I love the idea of getting a workout while I walk.

2.) FitFlops have the potential to make my butt smaller and my legs leaner.

3.) Although I´m addicted to shoes I love to walk barefoot, especially in the summer. The biomechanically engineered Fit Flops help to recreate the natural gait of barefoot walking.

4.) FitFlops are really light - they weigh around 400g per pair. This makes me feel like walking barefeet and it makes them fantastic to take with me when traveling.

5.) Each step in my FitFlops absorbs shock from my feet, knees and back. My back feels better since I wear them.

6.) They are very comfortable while they help me to gain muscle strength, tone my legs and burn calories - toning is as easy as putting one foot in front of the other =)

7.) I´ve been wearing my Fit Flops for a while now - and I can feel the muscles of my legs working overtime, from my calves all the way up through my hamstrings to where I need it most: my glutes.

8.) FitFlops come in three colors: red, black and bliss blue. Like all these colors lots - so the FitFlops fit perfectly to my apparel.

9.) FitFlops look cute - I thought about ordering some MBTs a few months ago, the Masai Barefoot Technology training shoe, developed by Swiss Engineer. But to me the MBTs are monumentally ugly (though some say equally effective).

10.) I always wanted to own something with a “powerful new built-in micro-wobbleboard workout-enhancing effect”. =)

11.) The insoles are squishy, which help with the comfort. The sandal is the most snug at the top of my foot, and since the strap comes back farther on the top of my foot, it doesn’t “flip flop” as much when I walk so the FitFlops don´t come off too easy - I´m not afraid to brake my bones in them.

12.) Rumors abounded FitFlops help you to get rid of cellulite, too. Dreams to come true - not confessing I have cellulite

13.) Last, but not least: My French pedicured toes look very cute in FitFlops

I love “ordinary” Flip Flops… so the FitFlops, half sexy sandals, half muscle toning trainer, will definitely get my vote for “must-have” of the summer: I´ve completed my FitFlop Collection a few days ago =)

Happy TT and thanks for stopping by,
