wishful shrinking...

I wonder if its this time of the year, or the long holidays.... but these are few of the things I am experiencing:

1. desperate need for carb's
2. very tired - all the time (may be a result of number 1)
   
3. everyone is pregnant? (NOT ME)
   
4. still recovering from PWCD (thats post-world-cup-depression)- long hard road to early nights again and little, if any entertainment.
   
5. increased dramatic episodes (this may be due to Jo being in town) - I love her

I think 5 things for now are enough!

I would like to take this opportunity to pat my-self on the back... *pat* I managed not to tell people about Tanaelle's pregnancy for atleast 7 weeks now! (well not tell many people)
She his having twins ! chances are - they're girls and we're all very excited - her and her fiance, Nick headed of to Thailand in May- to celebrate their engagement and see some of the world - she felt sick at a market... and the rest is history, They are on their way back to RSA to settle in before the double bundle arrives :)

All very exciting as her stomach now starts expanding, I feel like mine is sympathetic expanding... there has been no mention of the food diary in like 2 weeks - I am too embarrassed to document my lack of self control. Most morning's though I start with writing in my breakfast, and then all hell breaks loose? can some one explain this to me please? how can my intentions be so good and my self control be so incredibly BAD!

I realize the irony in the blog's name - with hippo being the direction I am heading- but in all seriousness, I must get my mind right, and I know that my mom may read these and give me the 'you must do something" look when I get home... but its a risk I am willing to take- *mom stop shaking your head*

I am making this struggle public - so that you can all point and laugh when you see me if I look more like my blog's title-
this should be motivation enough to get my bum into gear.. (or gym)
