while i will agree that a little snark goes a long way.. i think that for some snark is the first step towards engagement… and engagement is a good thing.
i think of the many evenings that i sign on here and am simply too exhausted to engage …
there are a lot of paths to that mind numbing fatigue.
Jans…
since you are now at maybe once a year..
perhaps monthly massages would be an achievable goal
any massage therapists out there you would like to give a fellow massage therapist some much needed TLC ?

each year i try to find one aspect of my life that i would like to improve… and work on it a little at a time..
it’s worked for almost everything except getting well and losing weight :)
*****
i know.. i know.. I am going to save the exercise/health/you could be thin/well if only you applied yourself some time…
if i just gave up all treats like chocolate and the cocacola i use to keep moving and moved more i would lose weight… maybe
that could work.
It didn’t the last few times i gave up cocacola..
and it didn’t the last few times i was too sick to consume anything resembling sugar…
but it might
oddly enough..
the only time i have lost more than 10 pounds .. and kept it off for any length of time..
was when i moved here. I lived on cocacola and chocolate for nearly 3 weeks while i sold the house, packed and moved…
i kept the weight off till i crashed.
When i finally got up again.. it was back.
i am not sure now how i would move more without the cocacola…
i tend to nap A LOT when i give it up…
and i don’t have the stamina to venture far from home :(
but still.. i am working on that one again…
when i last substituted green tea capsules backed by excedrin for cocacola my doc asked me how much i was enjoying that .. needless to say i wasn’t.. but i was able to give up cocacola and limit the naps …
my goal this year is less naps AND less cocacola…
Chocolate is my only real sin.
I don’t drink.. don’t eat pastry very often.. generally skip desert.. try not to grab fast food on the run …
and i eat my 7 servings of fruit and veggies.. in their whole raw form at least 5 out of 7 days a week…
See… I really should be skinny .. just maybe not as skinny as i was for the first half of my life :)
chocolate is what i use to treat myself for pushing through the pain and fatigue
to do that one (ok.. several) extra thing(s) i thought i couldn’t manage.
Blame me if you will..
but i am not giving it up.
and oh how i wish i could move more…
right now my aerobic program is dancing to one of those musical stuffed animals with a rock and roll christmas message.
I got feisty one day last week and 2 30sec sessions in a row nearly undid me for the week…
my Christmas..
From now on, I am going to conquer my world one song at time …
i promised hubby who thinks watching my workout is a hoot..
in the meantime.. i am holding the line at what i consider an unacceptable compromise
but where my body returns every time i lose enough to count :(
my doc says we will worry if my metabolism flips and i start losing weight…
that could indicate too many nasty new problems to count.
