A few reasons why I might miss my Bob belly.

When I got to college my tummy started growing! It started to gain it's own entity and because it reminded some friends of a middle aged man with a beer belly in a tank top, we named it "Bob". I have been trying to divorce Bob for a while but it has been a drawn out affair. After one week of P90x Insanity I can actually feel him shrinking and I started to realize, I use my belly for a lot of things and may miss it a little bit!

1. When I am lounging on the couch and drinking a nummy drink, I can rest it on my belly and drink it with a straw.

2. I can hold babies so easily on my love handles, it's hardly any work!

3. Sometimes when there are jerks about town doin jerky stuff, (like cut me off driving, or some little turd girl who elbows past me at the sales rack,) I stick out my belly to full capacity and act like I'm pregnant. This also helped us get more money out of our car we sold. (The dude was low balling us!!! $1,500 for a great car plus snow tires?!?! Yeah right!!)

 4. When my hands are full I can use my belly to close my car door or balance something against a wall to dig my keys out of my pocket.

5. When Trent and I are upset at each other, I start bumping him with my belly like Friar Tuck on the cartoon version of Robin Hood and yell, "Get out of my church!"


Here are some reasons I won't miss my belly:


1. I won't have a muffin top. My tooshie and thighs are probably about a size 8 right now but I gotta squish in the muffin top so I wear size 11. Yay smaller pants and a waist!

2. My back won't hurt as bad if I actually have ab muscles.

3. I can scoot in closer to my desk.

4. When Trent and I kiss our belly's won't be the first things to touch. (I'm not sure what will be but it sure as heck won't be our belly buttons!)

5. Scuz the phraseology but my watermelon won't protrude further than my grapefruits . That just doesn't look good.

6. I can wear a bathing suit around my super skinny friends and not be self conscious. (Um all the girls I hang out with here in Idaho are TINY!! I feel like the BFG or a Norse Godess!)

Hola, mi llamo McKenzie.

Hah, so it's been a while!! Holiday's really throw off schedules and we really didn't know what we were going to do for a long time. We thought we might move to Colorado for an internship or that we would stay here and I would work full time at the school. Well neither of those worked out so we are still in Rexburg with no job, no school, and extremely happy! So far we have worked out 5 times and woke up before 9:00 a.m. 4 times and not left the house at all, 7 times. It's been, AWESOME. But I would feel morally remiss if we had all this time and didn't try and get healthy and lose some weight. Here are some lovely "before" pictures so that we can compare them to some "after" pictures. I warn you, these aren't pretty! (Oh yeah and Trent forgot we were taking pictures and put his sweats on too soon, so I made him drop them for the pictures)

I realized the last time around that I was so worried about how many calories I was eating that I wasn't thinking about what I was eating. So my goal now is to still post what I'm eating and think more about portion control. Also to work out more AND we are thinking of training for a marathon....cause that's what cha do when you're trying to lose weight, you train for a marathon. I say thinking because I currently can't run a full mile..so there's that.
