The Hauser Sister 10lb Thanksgiving Challenge!

Oh, lord...The Pledge of Glory has been a real challenge lately.  Not so much the exercising part, but the whole eating, shall we say, "responsibly" part.  This week was supposed to mark the revitalization of The Pledge, but something possesed me to visit Paul Bunyan's Cook Shanty in Wisconsin Dells.  And that something, was my dear friend Hillary... she's moving to Florida, so I thought she should have an awesomely cheesey Wisconsin send-off.  But unless you aspire to be yet another morbidly obese American, you should probably never go to the Cook Shanty.  I didn't know that Paul Bunyan's would serve up an all-you-can-eat, family style breakfast feast of Thanksgiving proportions when I suggested it, but I should've guessed it.  Needless to say, I embraced my inner Paula Bunyan and feasted.  The only sign of The Pledge was when I cut my homemade doughnut in half... Soon enough, however, I was helping myself to seconds of biscuits and gravy, fried potatoes, sausage links and pancakes that rival even those of Randy's Family Restaurant.  But heck, we had a damn good time, and although I walked away perhaps three pounds heavier, I also left the proud owner of a t-shirt that reads "nuthin' like a good s'moregasm." 

Speaking of that awesome t-shirt, well, I just couldn't wait to put it on...so I disappeared to the side of the building where I thought I was semi-hidden and could quickly slip it on.  Of course, right as I was shirtless, this frickin' 4 year old boy peaked around the corner and got more than he bargained for.  He's likely been wondering since why that strange boy was wearing a bra, and I would venture to say he had nigthmares about it last night.

Of all days to visit Paul Bunyan's Gluton Shanty, I chose to do so the day after I signed on to The Hauser Sister 10lb Thanksgiving Challenge.  So what exactly is The Hauser Sister 10lb Thanksgiving Challenge?  Well, The Hauser Sister 10lb Thanksgiving Challenge is really quite self explanatory.  My sisters and I have each pledged to lose 10lbs by Thanksgiving... hense the name, The Hauser Sister 10lb Thanksgiving Challenge.  If my calculations are correct and The Hauser Sister 10lb Thanksgiving Challenge goes as planned, I'll weigh in at just under 200lbs by that glorious holiday.  What a momentus occasion it will be and all thanks to this pledge within a pledge known as The Hauser Sister 10lb Thanksgiving Challenge!  I don't think I've been under 200lbs since those 2 weeks in eigth grade when I was uncharacteristically skinny. Anyway, if you've been looking for a little motivation to lose some weight, why not sign on to The Hauser Sister 10lb Thanksgiving Challenge yourself?!  My new friend and fellow co-worker Melissa is already on board for The Hauser Sister 10lb Thanksgiving Challenge.  Why not you?! Unless, of course, you're already a skinny bitch and have little to no weight to lose...  In that case, forego The Hauser Sister 10lb Thanksgiving Challenge and just try out some GAGAerobics for the hell of it!  Speaking of which, I promise to post a GAGAerobics video very soon so y'all can see how it's done (and also laugh at the ridiculocity of it all). 

Here's hoping the male hotel guests can keep their composure around me... first they compliment my Danny Zukko hair...then they're calling me "a tall drink of water."  Not exactly my target audience, but hey, gotta love the ego-boost.  And, of course, here's to The Hauser Sister 10lb Thanksgiving Challenge!!!  I'd love to hear if you plan to take the challenge yourself!

Love. Peace. GAGAerobics.
