We are Katie and Tanya. We have resolved to get hawt in 2008. We've got our reasons...Katie has the upcoming big 3-0 and impending fame, and Tanya has a yet-to-be named event in the hopefully not-too-distant future. This blog chronicles our latest trials and tribulations on the road to hawtness (and no, we don't think it is or should be spelled as such, but for all our seriousness of purpose, we always maintain a healthy dose of snarkiness).

Limping behind… Or is it rolling…

So clearly T has dedicated herself much more to this project in the past week than I have. Even though they mean nothing - I must go through the litany of excuses to vindicate myself. (at least in my own mind - you know denial is the #1 rule to ending up where I am at the moment chunk wise - and I’m a master of denial)

Excuse #1 - I got the flu last week… It made me lose 2 days completely, and honestly made me stupid for the vast majority of the week. Stupid and lazy. Although, I must admit - the twisted side of my psyche was actually a little happy when I started puking and kept puking every half hour from midnight to 3am. It’s that “you’re gonna get skinny quick because you can’t keep anything down” portion of your brain that every woman who has ever struggled with her weight has.

Unfortunately for me, it all backfired… my body went into retention mode and I actually gained water weight & held on to every morsel of food I did eat for the rest of the week… bastards

Excuse #2 - Work. This is honestly one of my favorite standby excuses. It seems that my job in commercial real estate sucks the life force out of me. It leaves me with so little free time… and the only time I do have is devoted to my acting career. Classes on Tuesdays & Thursdays, practice, thinking about how I should be auditioning - it takes a lot out of ya.

Excuse #3 - The Weather. Holy crap the weather has sucked here in the past week. Granted, I’m not complaining too much. I grew up in WI and know what a blessing it is not to be dealing with snow and ice and below 0 temps. However - when it rains for a week and a half straight and it’s flippin cold to boot, all I want to do is snuggle under a blanket and eat. And I’m not talkin eat salads… oh no, I’m talking those feel good comfort foods, like mac & cheese and pizza. MMMMM. I’ve been *mostly* good, but man do I want a burrito!

So there they are - those are my excuses for this week as to why it’s taken me so damn long to get on the stick and start writing on this thing… Now that I’ve put them out there, I think they’re pretty damn good excuses, but nonetheless, they are excuses and they must be banished if I am to have any hope of success.

I’ll do a separate post for my mission statement as to who I am and why the hell I continually subject my body to diets and crazy exercise schemes… and just why it is that I need to get HAWT & quick. For now, I will just try to stave off the urge to go and get me a burrito for lunch on this nasty rainy day.
