Is It Still a Skinny Girl Margarita if You Drink the Whole Bottle?

Oh weight watchers....you would be so disappointed in me.  I've had 2 weekends in a row of cookouts and there is nothing I love more than a buffet table of food.  The only veggies I had on Saturday for the lettuce, tomato, and onion I put on my cheeseburger and a boatload of guacamole (I never thought I liked guacamole before and now I cannot stop eating it.  Was I missing out on this heavenly goodness all these years?????).  Does the mint in the mint brownies count as a veggie cause I ate my body weight in them.  I think because I am more aware of how much fat is in things I was much more appreciative of what I was eating and felt no guilt at all!  Even when I drank an entire bottle of Skinny Girl margaritas (that can't be right though I only had 2 plastic cups of it.  Surely someone else drank some.  It was yum though!).  I was so exhausted by running around that as soon as our overtired baby went to bed I had 2 glasses of wine. 

Luckily my US Weekly Hot Bodies 2011 issue came in the mail to motivate me to get back on track and I quickly realized what the problem is.  Kourtney Kardashian is on the cover in her bikini and she gained 40lbs while carrying son Mason, (well shoot I didn't gain that much weight when carrying my daughter Emma) but with breastfeeding AND pilates is now back to a size 0 in 3 months!  I've gotten the breastfeeding thing down, but I haven't been doing the pilates!  So, I am guessing if I just add in the pilates I, too, will be back to a size 16 14 12 0 in no time!  Cause, ya know, I was so skinny before I got pregnant. 

Kendra Wilkinson's secret to regaining her before baby body is 5 hourlong work-outs per week.  Hmmm, I'm not sure where I can find 5 hours per week, but I guess I can start looking.  I wonder if looking for 5 free hours will burn any calories?  When does she do laundry?  Dishes?  Clean house?

Bethenny Frankel said to hit play on that yoga DVD when baby goes down for a nap.   I wonder if I can work up a yoga routine as I rush to unload/load the dishwasher, throw in a load of laundry, put clean clothes away, let the dogs out/in all in the 40 minutes that my little catnapper sleeps.  If you haven't tried any of Bethenny's recipes let me just say that you are missing out.  Way delicious!  Of course I figured out how many WW points was in my fave salad recipe of her's and let me just say it ain't pretty.  It was pretty much my entire points for the day!  Sigh...I haven't made it since that startling revelation.  I get OK magazine just to see what recipe she has in her column each month.  Tonight I'm making her pesto chicken.

Miranda Kerr (Orlando Bloom's baby mama--I know.  I had no idea who she was either.) slimdown strategy simple "Yoga and healthy eating!"  I just can't get excited about eating chicken breast, fish, and steamed veggies for every single meal.  Why can't beer and buffalo wings be healthy? 

And Heidi Klum, who has about a thousand kids, jogs.  Jogs!  I wouldn't run if someone was chasing me with a machete so I don't see myself jogging to lose weight.  Although there is a part of me that looks at my fit friends who jog with envy as it seems so cool to say "Oh, I'm doing a half marathon this weekend." (cause ya don't run a half marathon you DO a half marathon).  I'd love to put as my FB status:  "Heading out for a run."  I'm not sure where I'd run and I'd have to take Emma with me and it is likely we'd get hit by a car, or laughed at, as we live on the busiest road ever.  I downloaded Couch to 5k to my ipod 2 summers ago and never progressed past week 1 (because running more than 30 seconds at a time is too much for my out of shape body apparently).

I guess though I could have been working out to a yoga dvd (which I did add a ton to my Netflix instant queue) in the time I wrote this post.  haha  It's all about priorities people.  I've also been enjoying my morning coffee as I write (look at me, I'm almost like a real writer).   

PS I think it is disgusting that people are running to get seats in the courtroom of the Casey Anthony murder trial.  What is wrong with us as a society that people will use their free time to watch a murder trial, but won't volunteer to do something good with their free time?  It makes me sad.  A little girl died and people are acting like they are going to see a movie.
