I'm in

Everyone likes to be accepted, belong to something or be a part of a club.

I'm in a lot of "clubs" already, namely:

-15 Passenger Van Club

you wouldn't know it, but there are a TON of construction dudes, plumbers and mexicans that are BEGGING to get in

-The Relief Society

the women's society in my church is actually the largest women's society in the world!

-The Undershirt Club

you can spot us members pretty easily because we wear an undershirt. The purpose? Well, it's so when we do NOT have a kleenex or a place to wipe our hands that we use the INSIDE of the our outer shirt so it's not against our skin, but no one can see the food/children's boogers, or whatever. The options are endless really.

-The Uni-dextrous Club

As opposed to being AMBIDEXTROUS, I can actually do almost everything during the day w/ one hand......while the other one is busy holding a child, nursing or wiping children's boogers. (note: see "Undershirt Club" ). Try-outs for this club is VERY grueling and you must pass off things like "taking brownies out of the oven", "putting in your contacts" and "walking out of church w/ both arms full of children/diaper bag and a smile on your face". Like I said, it's serious stuff.

-And the Snack Sprinters

I've had to turn in my resignation to this club recently. I don't want to brag, but I was probably the most talented/fastest/best one in the club. It's all about sticking your kids to bed/naps and seeing WHO can get to the kitchen the FASTEST to eat all the snacks you didn't want to share when they were awake. Like I said, I was THE pro.

Why did I turn in my membership for that? Well, 5 weeks ago my sister and I joined THIS club:

Don't laugh. It's INTENSE.

There are 60 of us ladies, weigh-ins every Friday (percentage of your weight lost), challenges every week and plenty of smack talking on Facebook to keep me motivated. We all paid $30 to get in. 

Prizes/bribes? Oh yea:

1st place - $525

2nd place - $265

3rd place - $175

4th place - $65

There's an at-home winner as well that wins $60 (2 lowest % losers go to "at-home" status each week)

We have THREE more weigh-ins.

And just this past week I slid up to 4th place. (Did I mention there are 60 ladies?!?!?)

This is a HUGE thanks to my sis as my nutrition consultant, Brooks as my "trainer", and Kellyn as my daily calorie sucker. 

AND A BIG NO THANKS TO MY NEIGHBOR WHO KEEPS BRINGING ME OVER MY FAVORITE DOVE MILK CHOCOLATES!!!!!(they're waiting for me in my freezer....for 3 weeks)

So far I've lost 14 pounds in the 5 weigh-ins we've had and hopefully I can still kick it into gear, because the 1st and 2nd people are actually basically out of hoping-range now (they're killin it). 

Come 3 weeks though, I'm starting a new club. It will be called,

"If I see another vegetable or walk into another gym, I just might puke on you"

Anybody wanna join? The membership fee will be one LARGE bag of Twizzlers and a bag of chocolate covered almonds. Please put my name on the outside of the bag please.
