Loud and Clear

2011 has nearly arrived...I first noticed when I went to Wal-Mart two days after Christmas and was greeted with end caps packed full of Pilates DVDs and Yoga mats.  The sheer mass of work-out gear made me feel like I was being slapped repeatedly in the face.  It was there every time I turned a corner.

This morning, I had this exchange via text message:

          R: Do you want to go jogging with me tonight?

          Me: Sure don't

          R: Ok, lol

          Me: (after remembering I'm supposed to be trying to lose weight and feeling like a lard   ass): I'd be down to workout at the gym at my apartment if we can get the code to get in   the door

About fifteen minutes ago, I read another friend's blog, and she is getting healthier and has lost some weight and is making plans to lose more weight (BTW - I'm very proud of you and happy for you!)

As I began writing this blog, I got a text, "I just bought some fit and tone shoes."

Again, I feel like I'm being slapped repeatedly in the face every time I turn a corner and would like to now address the universe: I GET IT.  MESSAGE RECEIVED.
