Stubborn Belly Fat

Stubborn.  Belly.  Fat.  Now that you know what we are talking about let’s get going with tonight’s blog.  Sure, we've all heard or read about stubborn belly fat, and for most of my life I thought it was a bunch of bull.  As a young child growing up I ate whatever I wanted; all of my Halloween candy, cookies, cakes, ding-dongs.  You name it.  I remember in high school eating lots of pizza and probably losing weight the next day.  In college I gained some, but not all of the freshman 15 and then bounced back.  I bounced back after Ford as well, but Bitty has been a different story. 

I did gain 40 pounds with John Brantley and I ate whatever I wanted, just ask my parents.  Since giving birth to him some 360 days later I have lost all and then some of that 40 pounds, but the ole mid-section isn't what it used to be.  In an effort to regain my waist line and rid myself of the muffin top (yes, I just said that, Trey), I started the couch to 5K.  I haven’t run in 2 weeks.  Thanks Elizabeth for all the support!!!  Well, in another effort to help myself I decided my June goal would be to give up….

Yes, those would be cinnamon rolls.  And yes, I think I am addicted to them.  That, my friends, would be a can of 5 rolls.  Normally we buy the 8 pack.  In years past I ate 2.  Then when I was pregnant with JB and Fancy was in Jackson I started eating 3.  I have been eating 3 now for about 1 ½ years.  I would make them about 2 times a week which 2 x 3 = 6 cinnamon rolls a week.  Then when you say 6 x 4 weeks = 24 cinnamon rolls (sometimes more) a month.  Ohhhhhhhhh wow!!!  Some of you fitness freaks just got sick I’m sure.  The good thing is I am 9 days in to the month and not one cinnamon roll has been cooked in this house!

 Thursday was Ford’s last tee-ball game.  I think John Brantley was tired of all the excitement each week too. 

 And he got a trophy…. Everyone did!

 And a cupcake which he only licked the icing off of and a drink!  Yipee!!!

 My niece, Molly Cate, turned 7 last week and we went on a field trip to Chuck E Cheese!!!

 The birthday girl!!!

 I feel the same way about Barney, JB!

 This little man is a walker.  We don’t crawl anymore.  He walks and goes pretty darn fast might I add.

 Before church this morning….

 John Brantley really wasn't feeling it.  He had just gotten up from his nap.
