Beware calling the McGee house

Nowadays, you never know who’s going to answer the phone! Bridget is getting more comfortable using the phone and now wants to answer it when it rings. She gets really excited!  I have let her answer it a few times,  usually when I know it’s Daddy calling.  I try to tell her Mommy or Daddy has to be around when she answers the phone in case it’s someone who wants to talk to us (like telemarketers) and she’s doing good with that so far.

Owen loves the phone too, no telling how long before he’s talking to any of you over the phone!

Well, I’m playing this Game On! diet with my father-in-law, cousin Kate, and friend Laura.  We are coming up on our second weigh in and I’m finding that it’s really helping me prioritize better, and lose a little weight in the process!

Don’t get me wrong, I love food.  And, I’m not one to complain about being heavy.  But, I am at the point where I refuse to buy a larger size pant than I wear right now… and I need to cut out the snacking.  The eating-between-meals without thinking about it, something heavy on the empty calories, kind of snacking.  Dad found this book and since I’m competitive and a rule-follower, I thought it would be great!  (you can check it out at www.thegameondiet.com)

It is a HUGE change and adjustment.  But, I am losing a little weight (had a major alcohol Day Off and it busted most of my hard work in one 3-hour sitting with coworkers… evil coworkers!) and I’m watching less TV.  I’m up and moving more and spending more time playing and wrestling with the kids.  I’m drinking a lot more water (we have to drink 3L a day) but I’m also less tired.  So, thus far, it has been great!

Looking forward to playing the Game throughout the holidays and kicking some Team OH booty.
