funny? yes.
A few months ago Lincoln made a bet with a co-worker. (yes, a bet!) They were competing to see which of them could lose weight and make it to 190 lbs. first. The loser had to pay the winner $190 dollars. Lincoln watched what he ate and went to the gym every night. He began to lose weight immediately.
Then we went on vacation and his diet went out the window. Three letters....JCW. (The yummiest hamburgers in Utah.) He still lost, but not as quickly as his opponent...I mean co-worker.
Then Lincoln got the news from his buddy that he was just two pounds away from the goal. That night I got the best idea to send the skinny friend a box of baklava from Harry and David. Where did I get this idea? Well, a year ago his friend sent US some baklava and fruit for our anniversary. (nicest people on the planet.) After we received it he said, "Isn't the baklava the BEST? It is so good, I ate the whole box in ONE day." *insert evil laugh here* We even paid extra for next day delivery.
His friend was walking up the path to his home when he saw and recognized the box on his porch. He began to yell, "Nooooooo, NO, NOOOOOO!" as soon as he saw it! He and his wife couldn't stop laughing after they read the note - "To my friend slim, from Lincoln". He jumped on the scale and he was still .8 pounds away from his goal. He told us he didn't eat any that day. He also wouldn't take the $190 a few days later either, and said the baklava was enough. Silly!

I forgot to mention that Aug. 1st was the best day ever. I got four tickets to the So You Think You Can Dance tour. I can't tell you how much I love this show, and seeing them preform live is so great! My tickets are so good. They are really close to the stage, but on the side. My seats were not great last year and I don't have good eye sight. I am really looking forward to being able to SEE them! Joshua won the title of "America's Favorite Dance-a" (repeat in Kat's voice), but I voted for Katee as many times as I could! She was my favorite from the beginning. The Pas de Deux with Katee and Will was the most amazing dance on the show, but if you ask me my favorites I probably name them all! I really enjoyed this season. Watching was always the highlight of my week, and Lincoln had to travel a TON in June so I was glad to have sytycd as company! =)
I went to the gym with my new friend Sharon on Friday. She is from Australia and is such a fun person, she loves sytycd too. Anyway, we did the soul grooves class, which is many different dance types turned into a aerobic workout. The teacher did a little African, jazz, salsa, Broadway, and ballet to name a few. I enjoyed it so much. I noticed all these teeth in the mirror, and then I realized they were mine....I was smiling ear to ear the ENTIRE time. The teacher must I have thought I was nuts. =)

That is so funny and also shows I will never compete against you or your hubby in anything now that I see how devious you are!
It is just plain annoying to me how quickly and easily men lose weight. Congrats to both of them, though. That is a great story!
You and Lincoln are so sneaky! I thought his friend's reaction was so funny! I think about you whenever I see SYTYCD! You are going to have so much fun! Your dance workout sounds like a lot of fun! I'm curious about the African dance moves! :)
I totally completely know what you mean about that show! We got rid of the tv while Chad was going to show (to much of a distraction) and we didn't get it back yet. I would sit on you tube and try to find all the dance so I could see.... I like it better then american idle!
Yippee for SYTYCD tickets. I cannot wait. Good job on the great tickets.
LOVE the diet story!! You two are so funny! Such a pair!
I told you that you would love soul groves! Tracy is a fantastic instructor! She is so fun to work out with! I hope you'll go with me when I get home. I have a FEW OREO's to work off! :-)
I know this an old post, and maybe you won't see this comment, but did we ever tell you about the new JCW's? It's at the junction of thanksgiving point and pilgrim's landing and the freeway. It's HUGE.
I've only been once, with a date (who out-ate me) and talked to Chris (CW of JCW).
fyi
I missed this post somehow. YAY For SYTYCD!!! Wohoo!!! I loved Katee too and voted for her, but I am glad Josh won. At least it wasn't Twitch (who is ok, but you know).
Yes, I hate men and their losing of weight. Jake and I do diets together and he just slims down from already skinny to skinnier. Brat-face. I LOVE the bet and the story. Awesome.
