All my hard work, and I was only able to pick two choices.



Tell him when l come up to him and ask to play the record, l'm gonna say: ''Voulez-vous jouer ce disque?''
'Voulez-vous, will you kiss my dick?'
Will you play my record? One-track mind!

I didn't check any.   >:(

But 2009 is my year.  I ended 2008 with a head-to-toe physical.  Somehow, my body is not cooperating because I'm borderline anemic (low ferritin) and have no vitamin B12.  And I weigh more than I ever have in my life.

 >:(

But, I have a plan.  Since the physical, I've started actually taking the multi-vitamin that sits on my shelf and I've added a B complex and Omega3's.  I joined Weight Watchers and the Y and have been going swimming or walking on the beach nearly every day.

I'm finding WW pretty frustrating, to be honest, but I'm not giving up.  I do great for breakfast and lunch, but for some reason in the evening it all goes to hell in a bucket.

So that's what I'm going to focus on this week - healthy dinners and no 11 pm ice cream raids.   8)


Lynne - that is so great!!!

I want to start swimming again, but it's hard to motivate myself in the uber cold weather...

When it comes to desserts - just don't deprive yourself to the point that you end up binging...  Eat something little if necessary, and then feel great everytime you manage not to indulge and go overboard...

And don't beat yourself up over little mistakes - congratulate yourself on the little good things!!

(Okay, not trying to be your personal motivator or anything - these are just things I tell myself, lol.)

Ach, that's so cute! I bet Brokie would do the same, plus frown on me because of all that noise!  :laugh:

I actually went to Volleyball practice tonight! And it went quite well, I must say! Now, the trick is to keep going every Monday..  :-\ Maybe I should report back here every Monday, so just to pressure myself.. But then again, maybe not...  :P

j.U.d.E.

Report back if you want jude - the experts always say getting fit goes better when you have a partner! 

I'm curious if anyone has experience/comments on yoga vs. pilates - and how one gets started in either?

ps - Chuck - two is better than one!

I'll try the reporting back... It's going to mean some pressure on me (and Kelda!) now..   8)

I have never tried pilates. The only one time I went to a yoga lesson, I giggled all the way through...  ::) Didn't help that the teacher was dressed like a hippie with hair that looked like an explosion..  :P
