Okay, I just read a bit about alchemy and didn't realize that scientists already can turn lead into gold, but it's more expensive than the resulting gold. Curses. Seemed like such a good idea. Which leads me to my quest to transmute belly squidge into steel. I know I've said this before, but this is some really tough belly fat. I think I can feel muscles in my thighs now, but the belly's still pudgy as ever. I'm eating Civil War-era prison rations, I hate everything I choke down (except maybe those Mounds bars), I'm walking at least 3-4 mornings a week for about 50 minutes, I'm Skyping a big hour of cardio and toning with my sis at least 2-3x/week, and I'm cleansing up a colonic storm. And still the fat persists. I can't even get back to 115, where I was a week ago -- not much progress, okay, none, in like two weeks. Am thinking I may have to...gasp...join a gym, or even give up televison, or something INSANE. We'll discuss gyms and other craziness later -- when I'm REALLY desperate. So far I'm just frustrated and pissed off. Give me another week or two -- I may be ready for something drastic by then.
Before I consider a gym membership (which was fine when I worked at an office building with, hello, a gym in it, but not so much now that I work at home and would have to do clothes, hair, and makeup, and drive to a gym for a workout -- hey maybe I could just get ready for a workout and walk to the car and back and then change clothes again? Definitely cheaper.), I've got a new toy. The Everlast twister boards arrived today. At 9 bucks a pop, much cheaper than the $200 Ab Circle Pro. And kind of fun -- I couldn't stop twisting while watching the latest Kathy Griffin special. But I'm sure that'll be the last time I use it. Well, maybe tomorrow for a few minutes. I'm already over it. Wow, that was five minutes of fun. But who knows, maybe I'll use it regularly for years and get slender abs and thighs of steel.... Hee hee, hee hee. Can you believe I still have a sense of humor about this stuff?
Hmmm. Brainstorm -- what do middle-aged ladies look like if they're in fabulous shape? What's my goal, buff-wise? I see a little Google and Blog (BloGoogle? -- dibs on the copy rights and domain name) in our future. Tune in tomorrow for buff middle-aged ladies. Maybe I'll figure out how to swipe a photo or two for the blog.
Quick update -- part of goal easily acquired and no photos necessary -- national buff arm fetish discussed on net and represented by Kelli Rippa and Michelle Obama. And puh-leez -- how could I forget the poster-adult for middle-aged buffness, Madonna? But they've all got personal trainers with sessions set up by their personal secretaries. So maybe not.
But I may have hit on something awesome -- Code Pink Boot Camp!!! They have a pre-turkey day torture session and it's right here in Phoenix or Scottsdale, depending on how far I want to drive for my torture. This could be GOOD -- I can pump myself up super fast for the holidays! Or at least get a hysterical blog out of the deal. Anyone want to join me? Group torture? Who's with me? You KNOW you want to....
Loved the bull pics, especially the one you didn't post.
ReplyDeleteNot discouraged yet about the scale--muscle heavier than fat!
Potato with onion, pepper, broccoli ( add it to steam on top of baked potato when nearly done, mashed with fork) in microwave with just a little cheese. Healthy, filling, tastes good! Potato is not evil.

K: See my two emails about the bull pics -- unless you are insane, the one you like was posted the week before the others.

I totally want to bitch-slap her but I've got to admit I like her style.
