What Was All the Fuss About?

Well it has been a long time since I blogged. (I know, I can hear the weeping). But here is a fun fact: I lost 20 pounds. That's right, 20 pounds. How did I do it, you ask? Ancient Chinese secret: eat less, exercise more. And I am easily on my way to losing another 20. I am going to be a skinny bitch!! (or normal size, depending on your perspective). My motivation? Large doses of high blood pressure meds. Just not fun to be on.....so I started to lose. I am doing yoga, and although not able to kiss my own butt yet, I certainly have maintained my flexibility over the years allowing me to do full extensions of all the poses. That helps. I still walk. But mostly, I just stick less in the ol' pie hole.

There are some fun things about losing weight.

1) Fitting into old clothes that are no longer stylish, have dust on them and generally look like crap....but hey! they fit.

2)Feeling like you are way younger then you really are. (I still have a pot, I still have wrinkles, but it is easier to pretend that I am actually 26).

3)The Spanks no longer cut off circulation to my brain.

4)Sucking in your gut while standing actually looks like it makes a difference.

5)Bending over to tie your shoes no longer needs to be categorized as exercise AND

6)You get even closer to the possibility that Gerard Butler will ask you out on a date.

All 'n all, losing the weight just wasn't that hard. What was all the fuss about?!
