Fruit, Vegetable or Ice Cream

Kala'i loves fruits and vegetables. When we go grocery shopping the kid goes crazy. He picks his own snacks and his choices usually include a carrot, broccolli, apples, oranges, bananas, grapes, strawberries, tomatos, cucumber, watermelon, pineapple, mango (we fight over that one) and lettuce. Yep, believe it or not he always takes a second serving of salad, lettuce and all, at the dinner table. I LOVE IT. On most days he'd rather have a fruit or vegi instead of ice cream or a candy bar. I have no idea how it happened but I'll enjoy it while it lasts. And yes, there will be a scrapbook page about this one.

Kazu on the other hand is another story. He does love some vegi's but nothing like Kala'i.

Oink Oink Oink....

and no I'm not referring to my previous post. Today after picking up Kalai from school we came across 6 wild pigs. They were on the median. I of course stopped to take a picture with my crappy camera phone and no good image. I then get out my digital camera and battery dead. I managed to get these two photo's. It was pretty cool. After watching them for a few minutes we were off to Costco to buy .... bacon of course.

It may be time.... the signs may be there

Sign 1

I get asked at work at least once every other month if I'm pregnant

Sign 2

Talking to a co-worker about the wii and she brings up the wii fit and says "you may want to try it, it looks like good excersie for YOU"

Sign 3

Kala'i on a daily basis says "Mom I love your head, I love your smile and I love your BIG tummy. You are beautiful" I can never decide how to react to those comments, it's sweet but does he have to call it BIG

I guess I've been in denial for the past 3 years 10 months about my weight or more so the last 2 years. I've tried to come up with a witty come back when asked if I'm pregnant I've been calling it baby weight but now that Kala'i is almost 4 it really doesn't fly anymore. In fact at work I got so tired of being asked if I was pregnant when this gay guy asked if I was pregnant I just smiled. He came in a year later and asked how was the birth and asked what I had.

I don't eat large portions and I don't eat a lot of junk food. I know its the exercise that's killing me. The strange thing is that in my mind I'm a lot skinner than I am. I've never had any weight issues infact up until I had kids I was a size 3. Thankfully, I'm still in the single digits as far as clothing is concerned. And its usually when I'm not wearing my hooker height heels that I get asked so lack of a good posture is probably making a difference, hmm does that sound like an excuse?

So what do you ask am I going to do about this? I haven't decided. Finding the time to exercise is the issue. I wake at 5:30am to go to work and get home from work at 6:30p then there's the nightly routine. I'm in bed by 9p. We could do what our friend Stacy and Jake did, get a bow flex, or an exercise bike but at this point I'm not sure even that is going to cut it. I wonder if I could have it sucked out of my gut and put into my boobs... hmmm.

Crazy couple of weeks...

We had a crazy week. My in-laws and Kazu were here the weekend before last. We had a blast with kazu and even managed to go to the water park. We decided to skip the beach due to the influx of jellyfish after the full moon. I wasn't in the mood to pee on my child after a sting. We miss kazu more than he misses us. I think he's heaven in an 8yo package.

Kalai, Duke and I had a nice 4th of July. We cruised around the beaches. Watched all the crazy people try to cram themselves on the littlest of beaches. Then we came home and had BBQ. We had an awesome meal. I think I'm still full.

We also attended my nieces baby shower. It was fun. It was at the beach. I don't get a chance to see them often so it was really nice visiting with them. I especially enjoyed being at the beach as we don't go nearly as often as we'd like to.

I'm working on some invites for a co-worker. It's turning out pretty darn cute! I'll have to post it when I'm done. The missionaries are also coming over for dinner this week. Sounds like BBQ again... LOL. You'd think that's all we ate. I'm actually trying to figure out what to do with all this pasta I bought back from Italy. We don't have any really good recipes except for a REALLY good spaghetti receipe.

Well, I'm off to bed. It's 10pm an hour and a half past my bedtime.
