Ok, today marks the day. Today I start really exercising...tomorrow I may be in the hospital. I talked with a friend of mine who endured a surprise 50th birthday party and she had to attend her own party with quite a boo-boo on her chin. She had fallen off her treadmill the week prior! She kinda went bumpity-bump like a cartoon character and has been suffering the ridicule (and bruising) ever since.
The last time I seriously worked the stair climber, I tore the ligament in my ankle so badly, I had to have surgery and the ankle has never been the same since then. Whenever I start a shape-up program, I tear my shoulder, or my back goes out or I get the hiccoughs. Do you think I just don't want to do this??
Well, I'm doing it this time for sure, whether my insurance rates go up or not..I want to be able to play with my 3 (soon to be 4) great-little ones. Yesterday I was at a playground with 5 year old Griffin and he wanted me to go down the slide....HA! He would have had a better chance if he had asked me to enter a couch-sitting contest. My nephew Sean is challenging me to a ping-pong match and I will accept this challenge....in June..
My other nephew Brian has been working out successfully for the past 3 months and has inspired me.
So now I am dusting off the Richard Simmons' DANCING TO THE OLDIES tapes and starting my deep breathing with stretchy-band things to tone. I am going to soon be the Biggest Loser!
Anyone want to challenge me? (other than my insurance agent?)
Stay tuned!

you might want to shoot for June of 2009 for that ping pong match...
Well...that is quite a declaration of determination...and to that I say...Hmmmmmmmmmmm...
do you really spell hiccoughs like that or is it hiccups?
Hiccoughs is the correct spelling...or else I wouldn't have spelled it that way...SOMEONE who couldn't spell decided to spell it incorrectly and their friends liked that spelling so SOME people continue to accept the mis-spelling....sigh...
To spell it like "Hiccups" makes no sense...but think about it..they are more of a "cough" than a "cup", yes??
