Bella Paffuto (or “Beautifully Plump”)

Can you overdose on Vitamin C?  Just a thought, as I pound my 2nd 11.5 oz can of V8, which claims to provide 140% of your daily allowance of Vitamin C.

So I was walking in to work this morning and my shadow caught my eye.  Instead of having a total Peter Pan moment, I had a Tinkerbell lapse.  My hips are HUGE.  I sat there, in disgust, and realized I have acheived the typical Italian shape: pear.

From the tip of my head to my waist, it’s fine.  Hell, I would feel comfortable in a bikini, if only that much was shown.  But from the belly button down.. WOW.  Saddlebags, my grandmother’s voice echoed in my head. 

I am the italian woman that italian mothers would want for their italian sons.  Not because I’m smart or talented or well-off.. but because I have BIRTHING HIPS.

So, as if I needed more motivation (although I clearly do, because my ass is immune to anything I’ve been doing), I have been jumpstarted into exercising like a crazy person again.  Tonight, I will visit the gym before Book Club. (Y’all will just have to deal with me sweaty.) And this also gets me “trained” for Pinocchio, which is quickly shaping up to be the Sarah-Olympics.

(Speaking of, last night, Kevin and I were doing a scene, and he went to sweep his arm behind me, and something caught it.  Guess what it was?  That’s right: IT WAS MY TABLE OF AN ASS.)

There’s gotta be something at Costco for me.

    Just after I gave birth, the nurse was looking at me funny, kinda like she didn’t really want to tell me.. But apparently I have birthing hips. Which made me feel odd mainly because of her vantage point…

    HAHAHA. So, at the very least, I know that they’re good for something, right?

    You have no birthing hips. Or if you do, technically, have them.. I want YOURS. ;)

    HAHAHA… I love the Costco DVDs… And I’ve lost 1 inch from my waist and 1.5 from my hips, thank you very much

    Hey, I meant the Costco DVDs. Since getting my table-ass to the gym is less likely these days.. which is retarded, since I could literally walk to the gym.. maybe I can spend MORE money and not be productive! :)

    Congrats on your loss, though!
