happy 11th Lil!

Our little Lil is 11 today! 

My hope for this year, is to keep growing into a nice young lady. She has had a great year so far, she's come so far. She is so excited for this day! She talks about it for months. k:)

this should start an argument....

Guiliana and Bethenny...


Guiliana and Bill are finally going to have a baby...through someone else. I love Guiliana. She is so sweet and so funny. It is my entertainment on Tuesday nights. I will say she has been on tv talking to much about everything...I can't wait until the baby comes because as we know with 


Bethenny, things were so peachy and nice before their baby came, who is now almost 2. It looks like from the show, my entertainment on Monday nights, that they are not doing so well. 


So my question is....what is it about having kids that changes everything. 


Is it the late nights...the no time alone...the crying ...the messes...the bigger target bill...the headaches....could it be that??


It takes a lot to be a parent. It hurts most relationships ....for awhile...but then suddenly you are out of the diapers and there is a light. It is so rewarding and worth it. I just want to tell that to Bethenny..stick with it, it will get better.
love, Krista:)

I'm with you, Sister!

The never ending battle with ourselves...strange isn't it??  We were the SKINNY Knutson sisters in h.s...almost too skinny!  I was 116 lbs on my wedding day!  Let's win this war together...

I just saw my internist this week...all is well but he keeps telling me that I need to lose another 25lbs.  I do!  I know you've tried all the diets...I've tried some, but honestly, the best diet is my "only eat half diet" and WALK WALK WALK.  I was religious about it last summer and fall and it paid off...I felt wonderful and looked great by Christmas!  Then I got a bad sinus infection, George injured his other acl and I made the Pioneer Woman's rum cake and I made another a few weeks later and another for Valentines Day and another for book group...have put 10+ lbs back on...

This is S I M P L E. 

1.  I love the idea of the picture of yourself, but how about putting a picture you LOVE of yourself up instead?  Don't beat yourself up, LOVE your self and your body.

2.  WALK every single day.  NO EXCUSES.  Gardening is great exercise too...I've lugged and spread 30 bags of mulch over this past week...my biceps hurt so good!

3.  Use your weekend to PLAN your week of food...make the veggie soup, cut up veggies and fruit to snack on.  EAT an apple every single day...don't know why this works, but it does!

4.  EAT 1/2 of what you would "normally" eat.  That is IT!  You're not deprived, but you are cutting your intake in half.  If you are starving, have that apple!

5.  WATER...drink lots of it.  NO soda.  If you need a boost...have tea.

YOU/I CAN DO THIS!!!  No beating yourself up...only LOVE...that means doing only good for yourself.

pictures tell the truth

While in Florida, pictures were taken of me that were quite shocking to the eyes. WOW!! Holy Crap!! What the!!!! I look horrible.  You don't quite care during the winter, and don't really realize how bad it is until a side shot or back side picture is seen. Well, its bad. So, I need a plan:

• I think I will print out a picture and hang it at my desk. That may be the motivation I need. 
• buy a full length mirror
• start walking
• eat less

love, fat k:(

never thought

....I would call Emma a bulldog- she is much too cute! Ha! Congratulations to Emmy!!! She is going to do great! love, k :)




                                                 

do you think it's a sign?

 
When we ordered Chinese take out last week for the three of us (Peter doesn't eat it so it's usually pizza for him!), our order came with 8 fortune cookies...granted we had a lot of leftovers, but I'm thinking we ordered too much??!  I'm back on my "eat half of what I would normally eat" diet...it worked well last fall...

and Butler it is!

Peter liked it a lot too...said he's going to apply there too - would love to be with her!
