THE BEST DAY EVER!!!
In the quiet of 3 AM this morning, I was ripped awake by a knife-like jabbing in my left lung. At first, I thought it was just the usual digging of The Loudon feet into my neck, throat or chest cavity, but I soon realized that he was sleeping soundly at the end of my bed, with feet tucked far away from me.
Hmm. What in the mother of pearl?????.......OW!
Every time I took a deep breath or moved a certain way, slicing pain shot through me. A broken rib? No. A pulled muscle? I don't think so. Pneumonia? No, I'm not sick. A pulmonary embolism? Yes, probably.
I tried to get comfy again, but it wasn't possible, so I stumbled into the kitchen in search of some Advil and cold water. I returned to bed and waited.
Is Mama still breathing? Yes. Has Mama fainted yet? No. Is Mama bleeding out of her ears? No.
Sadly, after having children, this is now Mama's criteria for panic. (please listen to your own panic, and don't blame Mama if yours turns out to be a visit from the Grim Reaper!)
Finally, I drifted off at around the same time as Ronan was waking up.
Time to make pancakes and eggs!
Mama's eyes are furry, and I try to turn on the burner, but my pan isn't heating! Hmm. I lean over the stove to see what's going on, and suddenly I hear crackling and I see smoke!
What in the????!!!!! Oh, it's my hair on fire!! I turned on the wrong burner! Yes, that's it! No wonder!
MY HAIR IS ON FIRE!!!!
Mama's burning!!!
I throw water on my hair, and it goes out, but what is that smoke near the stove now???
Oh, it's my carton of eggs on fire now!
Well, I wanted to cook them, but not like that!! Into the water they go too.
Mama's singed, wet, the eggs went up in smoke, I am having a pulmonary embolism and I am sleep deprived going into an overnight at work at 10 PM!
Mama has decided that this is going to be the BEST DAY EVER!! lol

ME JANE
Around the holiday season, Mama hit an all-time poundage record for herself. I've always been really lucky to have inherited both of my parents' insanely super metabolism, so this came as a Mama-slap to her face.
I was fat. There's no other way to say it...except muy gorda...yes, that too.
Anyway, I blogged about this at our old home (ronanjames.wordpress.com), entitled "Mama Fat"...you can catch the gristly details there.
But Mama ain't fat no more, baby!! Mama lost 23 pounds! Whoo hoooooo!!!
I'll tell you how I did it. It was SO easy! I was able to eat whatever I wanted, and I never exercised!!!!!!
No, not really.
I exercised 5 days a week, and I ate the caveman diet.
For those of you who don't know what the caveman diet is...let me fill you in.
When Ronan was a baby, he puked like a spigot after every meal. Despite that, he was 30 lbs. at 10 months. Come to find out, he had reflux, so he kept wanting to eat, eat, eat, nurse, nurse, nurse, to soothe his upset tummy.
When we found out that he was so sensitive to food, we met with a Pediatric GI who recommended an exclusion diet. Hmm. Mama's family is Italian and Puerto Rican, and we LOVE all food. Exclusion!? Wha-wha-wha-WHAT?
No gluten, casein, soy, nuts, or sugar. Oy. OY! What's left?
Meat. Some fish. Eggs with caution. Fruit. Veggies.
We dubbed it "The Caveman Diet".
It has since been given a fancy name...The Paleolithic Diet, or Paleo Diet...um, it's CAVEMAN DIET!
Anyway, after 2 weeks on the caveman diet with Ro, I lost about 25 pounds! Sweet!
So, I tried it again this time. After a month, I have lost 23 lbs!!!
I'll be brutally honest...and I'll list my height and weight.
I'm 5'6" and I weighed 160 lbs. at my "peak".
I now weigh 137, and I'm never hungry. I eat tons of veggies, some fruit, eggs, lean meat, fish and nuts. That's my downfall. Nuts. If there is a jar of almond butter in my house, I will not stop until it's gone! Addiction...food is my only!! It's sad, but true.
I try to walk 3 miles 3-5 times a week, and sometimes I do Pilates, Yoga or lift some little weights, but mostly it's about not eating Dunkin Donuts and then having 2 servings of Carvel ice cream cake with Papa Gino's pizza every day.
And it's the caveman diet.
Me Jane.

Yay, Mama likey!
I'm going to try to get some good posts up in this house today, but that will come after Mama gets her butt off the computer chair and exercises...not Mama's favorite, but I am down 20 POUNDS!!!! Yes, 20 POUNDS!! That's about 40 sticks of butter...yum.
Mama feeling good and healthy! I'll post about how I'm doing it later!
For now, I'll leave you with a tasty shot of the delicious ones, while I go work off another stick...
