Weight

I am a fan of "The Biggest Loser". No, I would never or could never take that journey, but I have tried many diets - some worked and most didn't.
I am very disappointed this season.
Why?
Because of the way they are treating the twins from Chicago. Most people can't see it. Most people would not understand. Most people would say, Who cares?

Why do they consistently weigh them in at the same time?
Roberto weighs 30ish lbs. more that Luis. My guess he has been heavier their whole lives. His whole life he has been compared to Luis.
I'm pretty sure...if they are close like they say they are.
They love to compete with each other on challenges.
They support each other with eating and exercising.
They probably share a room.
But trust me Roberto does NOT want to stand, week after week, next to Luis at weight ins.
Roberto is once again looking at their weights and proud that they both are losing but still seeing Yup, still 30lbs heavier.
Trust me on this - I know.
I am the heavier twin.
I have always been the heavy twin.
And yes, twins compare themselves too.
It's something I have learned to live with and have talked with Sharen about, but really do not want to talk about with others. Some days I get depressed about it. Some days I give up. Most days it is what it is. It took my a long while but I have come to terms with it. That's my life. But the whole world doesn't have to know, like poor Roberto.

FIT BIT
So, I am having a love/hate relationship with my new Fitbit I got for Christmas.
I started out resenting it telling me I am not moving enough or drinking enough water. I know all that you silly thing. Do I really need to be told it all damn day?
It's so light I don't really notice that I am even wearing it.
Well, It's been a month and after changing my goals to reachable ones, I am starting to meet them most days. (That means I am moving more)
Not sure how this thing actually works, but if I am pushing my grocery cart my steps are lower. So I push with one hand and swing the arm with the fitbit on it.

I love the sleep mode. I always knew I was a good sleeper, This fitbit tells me I am a great sleeper. So I got that going for me. :)

Rest Stop

Hey, this looks like a good spot.
Nice and quiet - No people around.
Yeah, right here in the sun.
Looks perfect.....

4 deer wandered into our backyard and plopped themselves right down after having lunch on our leftover garden flowers.

CRAZY - right?

Manicure

The sun is shining.
The temperature is above 30.
The roads are clear.
There is no excuse not to take a walk, so I called Sharen and told her "We're walking".

She was busy. She had her grandkids overnight and had just finishing up with breakfast and baths, so I walked down to her house to say Hi to them.
Sharen had promised the twins that they could do her nails with the new nail polish that they got for Christmas.
"Aunt Karen, you want yours done too?
What the heck - Why not?

What fun.....
Kendell worked on my one hand while Kallie did one of Sharen's and then we switched.

 Kendell did the one with the red nails (I told her I was very happy she choose red, because that was my favorrte color) and the silver sparkles and Kallie did at least 4 coats of aqua, purple sparkle, clear sparkle, and aqua again.
