Mission Statement

Our goal with this blog is to push each other to get healthy, learn how to stay fit and active, to examine our lives and try to find the joy and fun in every day, and to conquer our fears so that we can go out into the world and grasp every bit of happiness we can find. All while being snarky and trying not to kill each other.

SLIMFAST: Day 13, Cory

Diet: No problem today.  Stayed home alone and did chores and such, surrounded by this frozen tundra, so not much to tempt me.

Exercise: I've been going through the only DVDs I have while riding the exercise bike: My Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV Series) DVDs. Seven seasons, and I'm watching one episode a night. I recommend this if you're trying to exercise - I mean, find something you like to watch, with no commercials, and watch. It really helps the time go by.

And Buffy's inspirational - she's a girl, underestimated at every turn. She's got huge responsibilities and - even though she has friends and family who love her and whom she loves - she has to face a really harsh world, ultimately, alone. She's funny, vulnerable, and flawed. She lives and learns and sometimes she has to learn something over and over until it sticks. She experiences a lot of loss and heartache; she ends up more afraid of love, than death. But she takes a lickin', and she keeps on tickin'. Depite all the losses, she wins.

Also, it's well written, well-acted, and the best part: FUNNY!

ONE MORE DAY!  Then on to our versions of the Subway diet.

Hope you had a good day, Cappy!   I'm enjoying reading your posts.
