My daughter has a toy she calls "the pecker". It is one of those old fashioned wooden toys where there is a bird fastened by a spring onto a metal rod. To operate the toy, you slide the bird up the rod and then the spring action makes the bird look like it is pecking as it is sliding down the rod.
Today, since they are on half term break (yes, again), I had to take the girls with me to my WeightWatchers meeting (4lbs off! Way to go me!!). As I was waiting in line to first get my weigh in card and then to actually weigh in, KiKi struck up a conversation with the ladies on either side of me in the line.
"Wanna see my pecker?"
The American woman in front of me looked a bit aghast, since pecker is a slang for a penis. Then she saw the toy and giggled. The English lady behind me didn't really have a reaction because pecker is the slang for a nose. She then properly oohed and ahhed over the toy much to KiKi's delight.
We really do need to think of a better name for this toy.

The Great Shrinking Woman Project
So I have been trying to lose weight for a while now, then my grandparents came to visit, and then there was spring holidays, and then my parents came to visit and then I just needed a week to get my head back on straight...so I gained back 7 lbs. Not the end of the world, but disappointing. This past week I buckled down and kept an honest account of what I was shoving down my throat...for the most part...and I lost 4 lbs. *happy dance*
So since my husband is gone, and that is to my weight loss advantage (no need to cook potatoes every. single. night.), I have decided to make this a little project. Well, I guess more of a project than it had been while he was here. Code Name- The Great Shrinking Woman Project.
Goal- Lose 30lbs by the time he gets back. I have plenty of months to do this. If I have my math right I could lose 48lbs by the time he gets back, but I seriously doubt that. 30 it is then.
Mini Goal- Get the weight I gained during the month of deliciousness back off. By next Tuesday. That means 3 lbs off in the next...5 days.
So...here we go...again.
