Can it really be October? But just two days ago it was September and I distinctly remember writing the Happy New Year post so I canNOT believe we are nearly upon Halloween. Heaven help!

Since it is just three tiny months until a new year it's probably good that I try yet again to get back into shape. So! I have started a journey to lose 17 pounds in 17 weeks. Why 17 pounds? 'Cause. That's why. And why 17 weeks? Ah, that is a surprise. I will tell you all about it on Monday. It is exciting news and I am going to be needing your feedback to please put your thinking caps on.
Anyway, I have cut out most simple starches and sweets (except for Sunday when I then consume enough sugar to power a small village. Ahem) and I am walking 3 miles 4-5 times a week. I'll also be squeezing yoga in as much as I can.

Yesterday both Jasmine and I suffered chauvinism and found we were not fans. I was in a government office trying to get something done and they said they needed to see the 'big guy'--meaning my husband. When I said I'd be more than happy (and able) to answer any and all questions, I received a blank stare at which time I picked up my phone and called for Tom to come to my rescue.
Jasmine was told by her karate teacher that (despite being the best student in her level) she could do an easier version of the pushups since 'she's a girl'. The look she gave me when relating the story was priceless. And, I have to say, her biceps are looking FINE!

Now, not that I'm running out of material by any stretch of the imagination--snakes and monkeys live at my house for crying out loud--but I wanted to mix things up a bit. So, I have decided I want to open the floor to your questions. Ask me anything. I can answer any question although some answers may sound more like a politician's version than others.
