Junk In The Trunk


(p.s., that is not a picture of my belly, believe it or not.)


So, when the Frank Parmenters were up in Colorado visiting, we all decided to start a blog about our New Year’s Resolutions to be healthier people. This is our support network and accountability forum. Someone had to start this and being the loud-mouth that I am, you knew it was going to be me. So, to kick off our blog and our new year of being healthier, I wrote an ode to commemorate the occasion. Don’t get up in arms about it, I was just being funny (and keep in mind that I wrote it while eating one…or three…of Corrine’s wagon wheel cookies. Hey, the new year has yet to begin).

Ode To The Pudge


An ode to our pudge;
We’ll miss you so much.
But we think we’d prefer it
If our thighs didn’t touch.
We have double-chins
But only need one.
We could accept double chins
But not double-bums.
One of us is pregnant
Some of us are lazy
All of us are busy
And life is getting crazy.
So goodbye dearest pudge
An old friend that we’ll miss.
I already feel hungry;
Whose idea was this?!

I know, I know. It’s not one of my finest. But it’s hard to eat corn-nuts and type at the same time :). My plan is running/Jillian Micheals’ 30 Minute Shred. Frankie’s plan is our skunked P90X discs. What are your big plans?

  1. I should have said, "We're in" while I was signed in as ME! But we are all in, we just had to stock up on our favorite junk and unhealthy food before we start. Seriously, we went to the store and bought chips and dip, ate chicken alfredo last night, hamburgers are on the menu for tonight. But as soon as January is here, which is coming so much faster than expected..... tomorrow? We will let you know how it goes.

  4. Oh I'm not a Parmenter but can I join? I'm a " 5 months pregnant but already look like I'm 13 months along".

    My plan is running/walking combined with Jillian/Biggest Loser/P90X Videos while I watch reruns of Pushing Daisies and the Office.

    Matt's plan is P90X combined with the Special Tactics training program.
