13 – The number of sleeps until our Florida vacay starts.
3 – The number of days I’ll be babysitting my dad this week.
21 – The number of pounds I’ve lost and seem to be stuck at.
37 – The age my WiiFit told me I was this morning.
35 – My actual age.
Wait. What?! 35?!! How the feck did that happen? I’m so old. When I was 10, 35 sounded like a foot-in-the-grave age. Gads. At least I’ve reached this ripe age and haven’t yet been imprisoned or fingerprinted. There’s that, right?
15 (at least) – The approximate number of pairs of swimming goggles I have purchased for Little Man in the past few years in a (vain) attempt to get him to put even part of his face in the water.
0 – The number of times, so far this illness, that Little Man has coughed until he puked. So far. This is progress, peeps!
0 – The number of times I’ve been on my treadmill in the past week, due to some strange pain (yes, literally) in my ass.
30 – The number of minutes I plan to be on my treadmill tonight and walk through the pain ’cause I’m a tough one that way.
19 – The number of you who will probably roll your eyes when you read the above statement and shake your heads, saying “Kia is SO full of shit.”
2 – The number of times Little Man has cried today because there was a bug of some kind within 50 feet of him. Summer this year is going to be so much la-la-la fun. (Envision me skipping gaily while I say this. Stop laughing or you’ll pee your pants.)
Are you in the mood to put your mumbers on the table for all the world to see? If so, steal my button, link back to me, and let me know you’ve done it so that I can add your linkage here.
These peeps have already put their numbers on the line:
STUCK at 21 pounds? You do realize you’ve lost 2 pounds since last Monday, right? All that with a pain in your ass sounds pretty good to me!
I’d pay $5 to hear what Little Man was saying while trying on those goggles.

What are we going to do about the bugs?! Ugh, the bugs, the bees, the geese (yes, we have a couple staking out my front lawn) apparently are the scariest, most frightening, horrible things ever. Seriously, we need to figure out what to do about the flying bug issue. Seriously.

Maybe your ass hurts because it is now so skinny that there isn’t enough padding to protect your poor ass nerves.

Wow 21 pounds that is great!!! How many are you aiming for total? You have almost lost an entire Riley. You are inspiring me to start my own non diet. I need to ditch 5 or 6 Riley size globs of fat.
I’m off to do my Mumbers for the week.

0 – the number of freaking pounds I lost since last Monday. And I walked or ran almost every day! I’d be thrilled to death to be stuck at minus 21

I turned 34 this year and I wonder the same thing. I swear in my mind I’m still a fresh faced 18. That crazy looking old lady in the mirror? I have no clue who that is, but she looks dangerous and unstable and…er, old.

Wow, 21 pounds lost is awesome! I just got a wii fit a week ago and lost 2 lbs last week (and then gained 1.5 lbs back over the weekend, ugh).
Bitty is really scared of bugs too, especially flies and gnats. If he even thinks there is one in the vicinity he shrieks.
My first Mumbers post is up (it is still Monday… barely).

Forget summer, Florida is going to be a blast with all the bugs!!!!!
I haven’t lost a pound since early February, and I’ve been trying that whole time. I’ve only lost 17 total since August. So I’m just a teensy bit envious of the 21 you’ve lost and kinda want to tell you to shut your trap. But I won’t actually tell you that.
I’m in a weird mood. Sorry for the weird comments.

Oh the sorrow, the sorrow! Dear, do you not recognize the pain of a tailbone broken with the weight of childbirth?
How can you not see?
That is your issue! And it also creates a weight-loss plateau.
Did you no research? What becomes someone like thee?
Tee hee.
Tee hee hee hee.
April is the cruelest month.

I love Florida but not for the usual reasons. Nope, I love Florida because that’s where my little guy finally realized that water/pools were not poisonous. The pools at Disney were so tempting that he finally broke thru the spd and played in the pool. Three years later, I have to drag him out of pools. At least you had the good sense to buy him those goggles. Me? Just got them a year ago for him. What a difference they made. Now, he’ll put his head under water and swim. Here’s hoping our Florida luck will rub off and LM will begin to tolerate being in the water!
21 pounds- you rock!

Doood!! 21 pounds is AWESOME!! Have you done any interval training yet? That usually will push you through a plateau…let me know if you want more info!!
I’m going to say this even though it’s cheesy….I’M PROUD OF YOU!!

I am so jealous of your vacation coming up. NO FAIR! *pouts* Can’t you just pack me in your suitcase?? I don’t think baggage will notice… hmm…

I think 21 pounds lost sounds great. I think I have put on that much since last July. My parents want me to come down to florida to visit but I simply will not until I lose some of this belly fat!

Awesome weight loss! I am impressed! And I love that picture of LM.

Owen spent the day Sunday running away, scared to death, of the people dressed up like SpongeBob, Patrick Star, Dora, Diego, and Little Bill at King’s Island.
On the other hand, he found out that he LOVES fast roller coasters. And water rides.
I just love how his SPD has no rhyme or reason…

You know, I have always joked about us meeting up and leaving the boys behind. Now I am truly coming up there and kicking your butt. You are NOT old. I am older than you, therefore you are not old. You say that again and I will do an international butt whooping party. You might not know what whooping is, but us Texans know it’s not a good thing.
