I knew that in Stage 2 of 30 Day Shred, Jillian Michaels was going to say the line in the title of this post. I already read that. But when she actually said, last night, when I moved onto Stage 2, I completely stopped doing arm curls and laughed. My heart was nowhere near my throat and the second level was nowhere near as difficult as I anticipated. In fact, I was actually doing better on a lot of the more difficult moves, at least, that’s how she described them. I only really had trouble with anything that involved lifting one leg and also doing some kind of arm/weight movement. And only because I don’t posses the simple coordination to pull off a stunt like that.  But I feel like I moved seamlessly into this next part and that’s good. But seriously? I do not think I will lose 20 pounds. Toned? Probably. 20 pounds lighter? Unlikely.

It was not as cool this moring as the weather channel had predicted but it was definitely cool-ER. Elliot is wearing this orange and white long sleeved Gymboree shirt that has an embroidered football underneath “MVP”. Normally, I am not a label whore but I got it 40% off. He also has on Von Dutch jeans. For babies! They were given to me by a friend, who I guarantee you got them as a gift. Because who cares if your kid is wearing Von Dutch or Target special? I don’t really. But he’s ridiculously cute today; he’s basically a walking ad for high-end baby retail stores.

I have this sheet of paper in front of me that only has a heading: “Thing to do before/pack for Chicago.” I cannot seem to start this list, though I know I must, because I am just that organized. Well, at least I try to be. Otherwise, I will get there and realize I have to spend my money on essentials I forgot instead of fun. I’m on a budget so I’m not wasting money on toothpaste and deoderant, though I rarely forget those kind of items.

There’s nothing earth-shattering going on right now so this is what I offer you today. How about your life? Come on, comment!!
