An "Ask Auntie Lowan" Digression.

Awwwwwwww!

Who is gonna be mine?

I'll be your virtual pal- of sporting or any kind, cos thats the way I am

Awwwwwwwwwww.....blushes, smiles...holds out virtual hand, shyly......

Clasps her virtual hand to his manly virtual breast, whispers virtual sweet nothings in her virtual large rabbit ears

<virtually blushes at this public display of affection between a rabbit and a unicorn>

Hmmmmm - the mind does boggle a little, doesn't it? But I HAVE always very much wanted to meet a unicorn!

So - how do we be gym pals?
(..suppressing virtual blushes, and laying furry paw on furry chest to calm beating heart...)

Here is the plan - and I have been thinking since morning abt it...

I will open a thread in the sports and fitness category - with my current weight and size. Subsequently, each day I will update it with my escapades (or lack of them) in the gym - sort of web log. If I dont go to the gym on an evening, I should have a legitimate excuse for it, else all of you (virtually) beat me up.

If we can get more (virtual) gym buddies (hiama is on board, as well as you I hope, and I have asked KP) - each of us does the same thing and keeps us (virtually) motivated. At the end of every one month, we statistically prove our progress by posting our current weight and size (sort of virtual name and shame )

The winner gets a $25 Amazon gift certificate from me for the first two months.

Ofocurse, (virtual) honesty is implied in this whole thing to work.

I hope it (virtually) makes sense

Nobody ain't having MY vital statistics! But I shall be virtually honest about exercise and progress!

Then how wud u win the prize ????

Maybe we can do it this way - if people dont want to publish their vital stats (and I fully understand that) then maybe they can tell us the %age loss in a month

(no. of inches/kgs lost)/no. of inches/kgs original) - that way we can judge progress without having TMI

What say ?

Gautam - I hope I don't lose any inches where I want to keep them!

I like the idea, though, and certainly could do with additional motivation to diet and exercise.

Oh KP, don't worry - I have plenty of emails in my hotmail in box which tell you the ways to gain those inches !!

and break walls apart afterwards.

Wow, where do I sign up? Actually, breaking walls sounds pretty painful.

Awright - I've actually ventured over to "Sports and fitness" - a totally foreign territory!

Where's the thread?????

I don't want to be caught trawling there in case I catch something!

Yaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!


Will I ever feel rested again?

Hmmmm, the bunny's smoking a cigarette, hmmmm.
Thanks for the link, Gautam.

I think she went back to sleep - hope she snuffed out the fag!

It's lunch time. I woke up.

Motivation to excercise is the FOOD! For every 10 minutes of jogging I reward myself with 2 chicken nuggets, that I love, and when I used to jog with my roommate last year, we would do the 'potatoe spring' - sprint the last 200 meters to earn a baked potatoe, that we burried into the hot wood coals in the fireplace before the jog. nothing like a baked potatoe with butter and salt.....hmmm, must go jogging!
