Resolute

Perhaps a better subject for this would have been Tired. You'll understand why in just a moment or three, I think.

Genties and ladlemen, I am tired.

I am tired of looking like a beachball with legs. I am tired of wheezing for breath when I do something so simple as schlep a particularly full basket of laundry upstairs. I am tired of so simple an activity as feeding my cats in the morning being cause for immense back pain.

Here and now I'm swearing to the lot of yez I am going to get myself in a physical condition where I *don't* move around like an asthmatic pregnant heifer. So help me Ghu, it ends. Not here and now, because unless some kind soul among yez has a magic wand handy, this will take time.

But the journey of a thousand miles, and all that.

Good luck, sweetie. J and I have been *trying* to get more exercise this summer, but there've been days when it's just been too blazing *hot* to even go out and go to the pool. tons of damn excuses, too hot, too tired. I almost wish i lived down by you, or vice versa, because i really need an exercise buddy. Somebody with whom i've got a regular date to take walks, or go to a fitness center or something. Hope you do better than i did.

oh, quick note: if y'all go out to restaurants, eat half your portion and save the other half for lunch the next day. I read that a restaurant entréé can have up to 2,000 calories. I've been trying to avoid appetizers, and desserts in restaurants. and F'cryin out loud, *don't* call it a diet. that'll mess up your head. call it "portion control" or "eating healthy". the word diet gives me the screaming abdabs and i want to run and hide.
