A while back I told you that Lennie was on a mission to drop his football weight now that his playing days are supposedly in the past. (If I was a more attentive blogger, I'd provide a link.)
Ok, I caved. Here's the link. I was complaining that he lost something like 18 pounds in a week and a half or something like that. Yeah, well stretch that out a bit longer, and dude has lost 75 pounds in 2 1/2 months. What the hell?
Now, he is a totally different man, and I sort of feel (at certain not-to-be-mentioned times) like I am cheating on old Lennie with new Lennie. Granted, he worked his ass off, literally. But to lose 5 pounds over Thanksgiving weekend? I'm going with tapeworm on this one.
Here's a side by side comparison of the transformation:
Football days Lennie (9/08)............... Nowadays Lennie (11/08)
And, no he did not decide to change careers and become a Scottish golfer. He just looks cute in that hat. And while I miss those arms, there is a bright spot in this new deal: six pack abs.
If you were wondering about me by the way - aww how sweet, thanks for asking - I'm racing along at a speedy 2 pounds a month since Ella's arrival. Don't be jealous.
Oh yes, you may be wondering what's with the title of this post? These are the things my children tell each other while playing board games. We should totally not play board games anymore.

Oh wow! He really does look different. I feel ya on the weight loss thing... I think I actually started going backwards... :/
my husband is the SAME WAY.
but completely without the nice arms and six pack.
he said, "oh ... i think a triathlon would be fun." and lost 20 lbs. in no time. while drinking coke and living the life of a pilot ... eating airport food.
and me ... work my butt off and nothin.
ah well.
Holy crap, 75lbs in 2 1/2 months? He could be the HASAY leader if he joined, but don't tell him too since he would make me look bad. Wow, he doesn't even look like the same dude but I dig the Scottish golfer cap. It is a cap, and any man who can pull off a cap is cool in my book. Two lbs per month is more my pace, I'll hang back with you and lose it slowly but surely so we know it'll stay off in the long run. And uhm, your kids say weird things while playing board games. This coming from a person who has been prompting her 23 month old to say "whistle" all weekend because it comes out "asshole". Classy. I just realized that I'm rambling and perhaps the cold meds have kicked in. Goodnight.
Yeah, that just SUCKS that he can drop 75 lbs in just over 2 months!! And he probably just switched from reg. Cokes to diet. Ugh! Men!
He looks great, btw! But still jealous. hehehe
I think I'll step away from my computer now and go upstairs to Wii Fit now. ugh!
Oh my god - seriously he looks like an entirely different person!! That is so awesome. I'm so jealous. You have such a beautiful family!!! Oh, and thanks for the guilt trip - just cancelled personal training to go shopping all day. Perfect.
Whoa - totally different person! I just don't understand how guys do it! In your husband's case, he probably had so much muscle that all he had to do was decrease his caloric intake just a tad and all that muscle just gobbled up whatever fat he had on his body. But still. It sucks. My husband is the same way - he can eat/snack till the cows come home and not gain an ounce. It's maddening.
I should be all "wow Lennie that's great since I know not playing football has to be really emotionally tough. I know it's hard on my husband not to play football/hockey/baseball since his knee blew out," but instead I'd like to kick him in the shin. But he probably has some wirey nonfat shin muscle that would break my foot. *sigh* But he does rock the cap - not many men could.
I love the things your kids say - the peanut today was all excited because she found the 'cop dicks.' It took a few tries to figure out that she was saying 'cop disk,' which turned out to be Super Troopers and was SO PISSED that I would not allow her to watch it.
