So…two years post-partum and I actually look WORSE than two weeks post-partum. And I’m totally not kidding. I look like I’m five months pregnant, when in fact, we are trying to conceive baby #2 (allegedly).
It’s no joke when I call myself LAfaceOAKbooty — Baby Got Back, it’s true. Behold:

VDog's got junk in da trunk
Yes, I am one of those rare people who’s arse actually goes out from the back AND from the legs. It’s amazing I ended up marrying a white guy.
This is my plan for the 30 day “Shred:”
Eat sensibly – oatmeal and fruit for breakfast, whole grain/protein/veggies for lunch and dinner. LOTS of water. Fruit for snacks, and occasional treats.
I will attempt to consume fewer alcoholic beverages. But come on, I’m French by marriage. Wine is like water. See above. #snort
Starting tomorrow, I will follow the Level 1 Shred program, since, well, I didn’t get my act in gear and the DVD arrives tomorrow (and we don’t have a Comcast DVR).
Today I kicked butt around the house and completely rearranged the living room furniture (two couches, two side tables, one coffee table and one train table (believe me, I KNOW)).
My ultimate *weight loss* goal is to lose 30-35 pounds, but for right now I’m aiming for 25. NOT in a month.
My ULTIMATE goal is to live healthy, every day. Motherhood has gotten my workout/healthy mojo out of whack, and I aim to get it back.
Please join me and my other ShredHeads on this journey!
w00t w00t! Think they’ll let us walk down Michigan Avenue in bikinis this summer?

*don’t take this the wrong way*
You have thighs like MINE! The ones that stick out in the front and make pencil skirts positively IMPOSSIBLE! Ugh!
Ok. I HAVE to go take pictures. Probably should have done something with my face and hair today. *sigh*

Don’t lose the whole booty, ok?

I know you want me as your trainer eventually. Right? Right?? Better damn say right, girl. Thank goodness lunch on Tuesday fits perfectly with your food plan.

Hurray for health!

I need more strength and endurance!

Just found you via shredheads (which I am too lazy to join, but applaud you for going for it), and glad I did.
You are hilarious. Happy to have found you. Good luck with the workouts!

I’ll trade you some of yo booty for a little o my belly?

Hey, there’s nothing wrong with having a big booty.
[Reply]
Ok, you KNOW I ENVY THE BOOTY.
This wouldn’t have anything to do with me saying I desperately wanted to have a pear shape when you were bent over the tub,would it?
Talk about something coming out the worst freaking way possible (and completely opposite of what I meant. GAH)
For those wondering, V has a GROOVILICIOUS shape and I envy it. I totally envy that she has, um a WAIST and ass. Whereas I had to pay lots of money to get any definition to my body at all.
(Can you tell I am stressing about this?)

It’s true, there’s nothing wrong with having a big booty. In reality, I just want to lose the extreme bumps and keep my curves.
Diana — YES! No pencil skirts here! Fo sho!
LL – you know I love you, baby.
Y’all are so awesome. I’ll keep you updated as to my progress!

[Reply]
Yeah, I’ve got one of those stick-out butts too. As well as other body parts that stick out too much for comfort
Working on that LOL
My ass is HUGE and it worries me that even when I lose the 100 pounds I need to lose, it’ll still be huge.
