I’ve decided to turn over a new leaf. Well, maybe not a whole leaf. Perhaps it’s closer to half a leaf. Or maybe a whole leaf but just a quarter turn?<\/p>\n
However you phrase the metaphor, I’ve decided to shake things up. Kulia is getting easier, sleeping better, and needs less undivided attention. Leina is a play alone champ and a very good self entertainer so I’m finding myself with more free time. Under the old leaf, this new found free time was squandered on books and t.v. Not good.<\/p>\n
So, now that I’ve decided to do a little changing, I’m cutting way back on my old lazy ways and trying to do more with what little I have. This means no t.v. before 10pm and restricting myself to one book per weekday and one book per weekend. With the newly freed time, I have 101 projects that need finishing and I must say it feels good to finally get them done!<\/p>\n
I was so happy under my freshly turned leaf, that I convinced poor Kevin to join me. We have embarked on a diet. Now, neither one of us has much selfcontrol. In fact, I think Kevin and I combined have the self control of a two year old. Yes, it’s pretty sad.<\/p>\n
So we knew there was no way we could go on a real diet. You know, the kind when you can’t eat certain foods or have to count things. That would never work. Instead, I came up with the brilliant idea to go on half a diet! Sounds pretty good, no?<\/p>\n
My half diet works like this. You can eat whatever you want, whenever you want. The catch is, you can only eat half as much. Want a donut for breakfast? No problem, just eat half. Ice cream before bed? Go for it! Just take one scoop instead of two. Pretty easy, eh?<\/p>\n
So last night, Kevin came home late and was making his dinner. I watched him prep two brats.<\/p>\n
“So, how’s the half diet going?” I asked.<\/p>\n
“Great!” Kev replied as he drapped a little swiss cheese over his buns.<\/p>\n
“Hmmm,” I said, “you’re having two brats. Does that mean you’d normally eat four?”<\/p>\n
Kevin paused and thought for a moment and then replied, “Um, no, I just decided to eat two brats because I’m going to skip my veggies. One of these replaces the veggies you see.”<\/p>\n
I just nodded along with this blinding logic as Kevin happily muched up his bratwursts sans veggies.<\/p>\n
Yup, I’m thinking I could really be onto something with this half a diet. I expect the pounds to just melt off all by themselves. Expect before and after bikini pictures any day now!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
