Top to bottom

It's so annoying to me that when you gain weight, you gain it from the butt up. When you lose it, it goes from the top down. If I'm going to shrink starting from the top, why can't I lose inches off of my giant noggin? I have a seriously massive head. Really, it's huge. Ryan wears a 7 1/4 size hat. I can't even pull it on past my hairline. It kind of just rests on the top of my head. Oh well. I'll take whatever weight loss I can get.

I was admiring trying to look at my shrinking upper body without too much disgust in the bathroom mirror the other day and noticed that I actually have some definition in my upper arms. Like, when I flex them, you can see muscles. I waved at myself (in the manner of Queen Elizabeth, very royally) and my skin and triceps didn't continue to wave after I stopped. I have guns! I keep asking my kids if they want to feel my guns and telling them I'm pretty sure I could take them in a fight. They just roll their eyes and shake their heads. You can tell exactly what they're thinking too. "Oh, brother! Are we really stuck with this weirdo for a mother?" I don't care. I have guns!

I really want to get a copy of your exercise program. I told your husband at the Elder's Quorum party but I am sure he ignored me. I guess I will have to ask him again.

Yipee for you. glad it's working for you. If I'm ever close and wave, you'd better duck, the backlash from my underarm can kill a person.

How exciting! My stomach is starting to feel firmer from doing so many jackknives. Too bad you can't see the firmness because of the flab from past pregnancies. Sheesh.
