I was tagged...I feel so special!!!

Wow, welcome to the Blogosphere!!! I have been tagged with "The Honest Scrap" award and I now must do the following:
1. “The Honest Scrap” award is not one to hold all to your self but it must be shared!
2. First, the recipient has to tell 10 true things about themselves in their blog that no one else knows.
3. Second, the recipient has to pass along this prestigious award to 10 more bloggers.
4. Third, those 10 bloggers all have to be notified they have been given this award.
5. Those 10 bloggers that receive this award should link back to the blog that awarded them “The Honest Scrap’ award. (i'm not sure I know how to do that, but I'll give it a whirl)

So....my ten things are:
1) I took pictures of myself in my underwear today (trying to log my weight loss progress without getting on the scale)
2) Sometimes I get french fries at McDo and then hide the wrappers so no one knows my dirty little secret
3) I am painfully shy and self conscious
4) I hate advertising and think it's the stupidest endeavor ever and can't believe I wasted so much of my life doing it
5) Every now and then I feel maternal...but then I make a full recovery
6) I have an unhealthy obsession with pens
7) I used to drink way too much but now I don't
8) I absolutely love how quiet my house is
9) I called a pet psychic after my cat died. Twice.
10) I realize #5 makes me sound bitchy...it's not the kids I don't like, it's the parenting, watching, babysitting, constantly-making-sure-they-don't-kill-themselves-ing, the cajoling, the negotiating, the disciplining, the repeating, the diaper changing, the potty training, the cleaning, the burping and the noise that do not appeal to me. This is why I am better suited for Aunt-hood.

Ok, so I guess I have to do some linking now...I guess I'll just tag the people whose blogs I read...

Ok, that's enough linking for someone who doesn't know how to do it very well or efficiently. In fact, I'm not really sure what I do now? Blog Newbie here! I do know that I really need to get on the big stick and blog more so I can win one of those cool blogger awards!!! Nothing like setting your sights high, I say!

3rd Callanetics DONE!

Here's an update on the official Callanetics Experiement. I have completed the workout three times and have already seen a half inch decrease in my waist! Yippee! I took a few other measurements, but it's so hard to remember EXACTLY where I put the tape measure, so I'm not trusting the other measurements just yet. I think there could have been a half inch or quarter inch drop in the thighs, but until it's down a full inch I can't be sure I'm measuring in the same spot. But all in all, this is very promising!

Yesterday I did the workout without the video, and I have to say it was MUCH less boring! I just printed out the sequence and watched something interesting instead. In general progress:

-I didn't have to take a full break in the first leg exercise, but this is probably because I was able to pause when things got hairy. Granted, I paused in the plie, so it wasn't a full pause!
-I felt like I curled up higher in the ab exercises...yay!
-The pelvic rotations hurt, but I didn't curse at anyone this time.
-I swear that I can see a "line" defining my quadriceps from my leg fat...in the right lighting, of course...but still!!!

My goal is to do the Callanetics workout 18 times in January, which will bring me up to a total of 20! So far, I have done 2 of those 18. Go me!
