A Lesson In Fortitude

Still doing 7 Posts in 7 Days with my pal Jen at Conversion Diary!! Please pretend with me that I really posted this on Friday and that I didn't cheat by posting it on Sunday instead.

Tonight's post is a quick life lesson that anyone can appreciate. Except for those lacking a sense of humor, but this blog ain't for you anyway. You should run along now and do something serious, like playing Candy Crush.





I got up again this morning at 4:30 am to go work out. Let me tell you, it is HELL trying to pull myself up out of bed at that ungodly hour. This is not me. I never get up this early. The only way I would physically leave my bed is if one of my kids were throwing up or if the house was on fire.



The roads were covered in black ice, which was pretty scary, so you know my gentle voice was back again.


Baby Jesus was my trainer again, but this time it was a personal training session.


I had to do all kinds of different exercises.

I had to do kettle ball squats. Now I am gonna say this. I have been consuming quite a bit of steamed cauliflower lately, and it is nothing but a pure miracle that I didn't let out any gas during the squats.

Oh, He did.


But rest assured that it took a heroic amount of effort on my behalf. I wasn't gonna do that in front of Baby Jesus, y'all. And I think I deserve a round of applause for my fortitude in this area.


Thank you everyone! Except that guy on the far right. He doesn't seem to see the merit.

ALWAYS REMEMBER!! FORTITUDE OVER FARTITUDE. Remember this and you will go far in life.






Tomorrow is my first weigh in. I am excited and nervous at the same time.

  1. From the silence here it is obvious people have no idea how difficult this can be especially after having consumed copious amounts of vegetables and fruit. I for one am very proud of you. I can attest to the fortitude needed in this matter. Carry on my friend, you are rocking this thing!

  2. Aaaaaaahhh! So funny! I am definitely the one on the far left. I totally woulda just farted. All day long. And then claimed it.

    "What's that ungodly smell? Is there a decomposing body somewhere?'
    "THAT WAS MEEEEE! I FARTED!"

  3. When my cousins' son in pre-school he had a worksheet on "senses" & had to draw pictures for each of the 5 . . . for "smell" he drew farts.

  4. You win the Momlympics gold in Fart-supression! I admire your fortitude. That is a difficult skill to master after having kids.

  7. Ha, I wish I had your fortitude! But I'm glad that I'm not the only one who has prayed that prayer and received help in time of need.

  9. If you can't laugh at farts, you have no soul. Big hugs and high fives to you!
