We're In Trouble Now (AKA: Going Mo-bile)

Noah has learned to walk. It’s amazing how only last week he was Earth-bound, and now he’s experiencing such freedom. It happened suddenly, too. He’d been cruising around holding on to furniture for quite some time. Then, yesterday, he let go and walked right across the room! He didn’t even test out his balance. There was no taking a few tentative steps along the soft couch in case he needed to grab on to something for support. He just let go and headed right for the hard wood floor. Everything about his diminutive stance said, “If I’m going to do this, I’m going all the way!”

Lesson learned: If you want something, quit being a pussy and just do it.

Sigh...I need to apply my 12 month old's knowledge to my new healthy eating regime. Man, nothing bites deeper than when your INFANT shows you that taking baby steps is not the answer.

Maybe the true lesson here is that you should go whole hog and just eat what you want.

Dude, he's walking already! Isn't he , like, two months still??? Next you'll blog me that he's eating your oatmeal for breakfast...

I agree with Cheryl...hog wild and eat what you want...That is the ONLY way to go...only got one life and if I can't have milkshakes...well...I would be a bitch all the time (instead of just the part time bitchiness I exhibit). Just like the boy - JUST DO IT. Have the shake...HAVE IT. You know you want it. You know you do...drink it, drink it....

Please Trish. I've seen you. Eat a steak for God's sake.

I think she is busy chewing that steak...

Perhaps she is too weak to write. When you insist on dieting even though you don't have an ounce of fat to give up, something has to go. Usually it's muscle, but I don't think Trish has a plethora of those either. So, I am assuming it is energy.

Either that, or she is somewhere in Iowa chasing her now mobile child.

Keep it secret, hide it well.

TRISH SITING ALERT!
Trish was last seen in the coffee bean fields of Colombia, South America. After chasing her bare-butted boy who recently learned to run, Trish found herself (and her son) in South America, specifically up a tree. Fortunately, from this tree hung magic beans, which Trish hugrily injested.
Reports of Trish-siting traveled slowly back to home and included details of her gorging on coffee beans, seeking more energy and, strangley, nutrition (something about advice someone once gave her).
Anyone spotting Trish is encouraged to blog the authorities.
(Maybe she'll get that one blog post from the Congo soon....)

Trish! Where the hell are you? It's been almost a month since you posted last!

Get your ass back to typing on this blog pronto, missy!

Please. :)
