Dear Fat Rolls, (aka...thighs, hips, and stomach)
I have put up with you for a while.
But this fluctuation up and down is crazy!
So, you deserve the truth.
I am over you!!!!
Really and truly! 100% done!The time has come to banish you once and for all.
Why are you laughing???
I'm serious!
Summer is coming and my shorts are tight:-(
Yes, I know that is my own fault for loving sugar like I do.
(Curse you delicious baked treats!!!!)
Let me break it down for you...
P90X has been ordered.
Now who's laughing???
What do you mean we'll see?
Ok, jelly belly...it's on like Donkey Kong!
Love,
Your Seriously Motivated Host
P.S. I am scared to death of this video series 🙁
I've heard it hurts!!!
I guess that means I should really stop making things like cupcakes filled with candy, huh? I have a very hard time resisting treats this decadent!!!!

I bought the shred after you talked about it. I tried it one morning, then got the stomach flu later that day. I can't bring myself to try it again, too many bad memories. I'll have to see what you think of the P90X

Good for you. I am on week 5 of the P90x, already see a HUGE body change. Good luck, it is pretty tough - but stick with it and it becomes easier to stomach the daily workouts. Not to mention I eat what I want with no guilt.

Yummy! I hear you on the weight thing. I have been doing Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred and its kicking my butt! Good luck on yours 🙂 Thanks for linking these on TTT.
Inspire. Create. Bake.
Good luck with your P90X. You can do it!!
It is really hard to bake such yummy treats and not eat them (a lot). I try to give most of mine away so I will not be tempted. That way everyone around me can gain and I'll stay the same. 😉
Have a great Tuesday, friend!

OMGosh these look amazing, but I wouldn't go near them with a ten foot fork!
I joined Weight Watchers because I love sugar too and am down 14 pounds.
Good luck on the P90 my husband has done it and says its hard but worth it!
