Day whatever...

Hi everyone, in my excitement I forgot to jump on to blog and let you know that as of 1 week I have lost 3 point something or other pounds. Woohoo.  In celebration I ran out and ate a custard cream pie!!! Just kidding, I only ate 3 pieces. Hmmmmm....

I have not been hanging out with Sean-o and his hot bods for the last 3 days as we have been travelling the world (that is my excuse and I am sticking to it!!!). We to New York State, Vermont and New Hampshire anyway. I gave Shano very specific instructions for this trip... "show me the leaves that change in fall Oh Great One" and this is where we went. Let me tell you he provided me with EXACTLY what I wanted and that is so rare let me tell you. Hee hee.

It is so gorgeous that I could simply pack my little bags and move permanently to Vermont. It is beautiful and filled with yummy food and super friendly people. I would have stayed longer if Shano hadn't driven like a bloody Nascar driver around the state. If he had bothered to slow down for a moment I may even have thrown myself out of the car in an effort to stay, but alas the speedo didn't go lower that 40 miles and hour. Even that was a stretch for me.

If you have followed our previous trip across the USA you would have picked up on the fact that Shano and I have very different travel styles. I like to take my time and peruse each town whilst Shano thinks that the quality of travel is in the QUANTITY of states covered. Ha. I am sure we will survive as we have thus far.

This is a trip I recommend to everyone, as the turning leaves are incredible and as long as you don't get rain that washes the leaves right off the trees, you will be impressed.  Even the Shano was impressed and we all know how hard it is to impress him!!!!

Oh Ps, we saw a lot of signs in Vermont that said "Moose Crossing". Disappointing as it was we only saw one and she was wearing bike pants and a very small college jersey........

My camera has been revived!!!

Yay my camera is finally working so I am just going to download a few photos that I have taken.  xxxx

 Grace relaxing at the Waldorf Astoria...

 A TV in the mirror? No way....

 Lego land at FAO Swartz toy store. And yes we dance on the BIG piano....

 Groodle getting ready for a ride. National Velvet here we come.

A pinch and a punch for the first of the month... October!

Ok so as a reward for ignoring my boom bah body when it screamed to me today "Don't do it Karli! Sean doesn't really love you so just stay in bed. Go on!!!!!", I decided to put up some of my Halloween decorations. These were of course chosen by Grace. I only had to give her a stern NO when she desperately wanted to purchase the half eaten zombie man that crawls around your front yard. An i bloody meant no - I would have nightmares that I would wake up in the middle of the night and Zombie Man would be at the end of my bed. Oh dear God I am so sleeping with one eye open tonight as ZMan might have followed us home!!!! Anyway, in otherwise true Team USA form we have begun to demonise our front yard.  Here are some photos to give you an idea of Grace's sense of style....

Day 3 - die Tonya die

Woohoo, I am all hyped up after a session with Seano and his hot abbed friends. You know I think that I too have a six pack tummy - I just lack that plastic thingy that holds it all together!!!!  Its true.  Today we did a bit of "Hip Hop Abs" and finally I beat that bitch called Tonya who did 78 Suicide Jumps when I did 3! Today Tonya just couldn't shake her groove thang like I could. I did 10 more hip shakes than her.  Of course it is probably because when I do the hip shakes I am actually counting the ones that just keep going by themselves after I have actually stopped - I go 1, 2, 3, 4 stop and my hips continue 5, 6, 7, 8.....stop. Is that cheating? Tonya, you are going down- that's all I'm saying!!!!!

The Walmart State of Mind....

Oh for the sweet love of God, I just saw a lady at Walmart who was proudly wearing a size 6 pair of jeans on her size 24 body. Perhaps all this weight loss talk is a complete waste of time  - perhaps I should just PRETEND to be skinny like Miss Muffin Top Walmart and see where that gets me. Perhaps thinness is just a state of mind. Wait.... I am just going to run upstairs and try and pop on on my old skinny jeans and see how I feel........

.......Nope, I couldn't breathe and felt the circulation in my legs being cut off. Perhaps, just perhaps, I have just discovered the Walmart State of Mind! Is this good or bad? Miss Muffin Top Walmart would vote that this is a good thing. For all of us that had to witness her bending over to pick up her 24 pack of Coke, we vote BAD!!!!!!!

Just a thought...

Day 2 - after 3 days in bed......

Yay, the Honey badger is back! After being hidden in a dark room for the last  3 days with a stinking  migraine I am back and ready to be completely ruined by good old Sean-o! I suspect that my body basically gave me the bird after that last session and went into shutdown mode BUT the honey badger does care........ See you after the next horrid workout.

Day 1 of the HB Challenge

Day 1.  OK, already I want to tell "Sean" from Insanity to shove his pushups where the sun doesn't shine!  BUT... I still completed my first day which was a fitness test full of crazy crap like "Suicide Jumps", "Push Up Jacks" and "Switch Kicks". It sounds like I am learning to be a Ninja.  Cool! Well when I was Ninja-ed out I discovered something very interesting, yet not surprising, about myself - I am actually more unfit than Jabba the Hut having a veg out session. Alas it is true.

Well I survived the very first day and I can start tomorrow from the bottom and work my way up. The very, very, very bottom. Oh God I am sure I can see the top to Skinnyville if I squint my eyes!!!!

See you tomorrow for Day 2.  Oh dear God!!!!
