Ugh… My body hates me.
Jus tha’ facts… Jus tha’ facts…
I just woke up about an hour ago. That would be 11:30 CST. Ugh. I went to bed last night at 12:30ish so I was probably asleep by 1am. Ok, campers, lets do the math. [drum roll please] That works out to roughly 10 and 1/2 hours of sleep!!!!!!
My body hates me.
Ok, ok, it really doesn’t hate me but it is being VERY demanding:
Me: I’m going to get you into shape. Here’s the work out plan.
Body: Excuse me? Are you serious? You’re nuts
Me: Yes I’m serious about this. We are going to get into shape.
Body: Fine. But have you heard about this thing called “payback?” heh heh heh
Me: Payback?
Body: Yes! Go ahead, do something like dance for four and a half hours of practice and classes, and then drive a standard truck for another 2 hours commuting and then haul groceries up stairs and stretch and lift, go ahead and just try it boyo! ‘Cause if you do, I’m going to make you SLEEP! I’m gonna make you REST! But not until I make you ache and your muscles burn. I’ve got friends ya know… My buddies, who you know as the arches in your feet, are a nice set of twins who will make you regret all that dancing!
Me: Do your worst…Ssssnnnnnnzzzzzzzzzz
*SIGH*
All kidding aside, it is horrible how much “recovery” time my body demands at this stage of the game. And it is horrible how

In search of the perfect night’s sleep…
Perfect? Did I say “perfect”? I’d settle for “Mostly OK”
One of the items on my “10-Point-Plan” to “Transform Tony in 2013” is #1 Get plenty of sleep every night.
Easier said than done! However, talking about sleep is a good way to emphasis and reinforce the ongoing theme that Getting Fit and Healthy is complex because “EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED TO EVERYTHING!“
Sleep is important and most definitely connected to everything else in your life. Without consistent restful sleep, getting fit and healthy is almost impossible.
Without meaning to whine and moan, or act like a pampered diva…. But, since we’re mentioning “diva” could I please have some cheese with my Whine? Hmmm?
Oh, did you hear about that cheese truck fire that took days to put out? I kid you not!!!!
Holy Cheesus! Who knew?
Anyway in Norway where this cheese is made there was a truck accident in a tunnel and the load of cheese, called Brunost caught fire and burned for days.
But… I digress… Back to the whole sleep thing…. Read the rest of this entry

Cats, Capitalists, and Transformations…
Capitalism and Transformations
I have to confess that I’m beginning to feel like a budding capitalist. Oops! I’m in business! 🙂
Also, I also have to confess that I’m feeling a little bit guilty about the preponderance of “Gee look at what I’m doing online” kind of posts which have appeared on my blog as of late.
But before all six of you who are reading this go all “99% on my not so skinny butt” let me connect the dots as to why me doing what I’m doing hooks up with me doing what I was doing.” Still with me? I hope so! LOL
This whole blog is a record of what is going on in my life as I try and move from
“out of shape, unemployed librarian” to “fit healthy in-shape full time writer and dance instructor”
At first the mission wasn’t so concrete and it certainly didn’t have the “unemployed” bit! At first, I had a job, I had a blog, I had a very large body and I was VERY Stressed out and UNHAPPY
Well, now for the first time in ages, I’m happy; I’m not stressed, well not much anyway. I still have the blog and the large body, but the 9-5 job is gone and my new job is transforming that body into something that I’m proud to call “my body.” However, to do that, well it takes money. *Siiiiiiiiigggggggggghhhhh*
I literally did just sigh as I typed this. I kid you not! I did! I really did just sigh. Now I’m smiling at myself for being silly and sharing that tidbit with you but hey, this is me we’re talking about. LOL And we all know I’m a little bit silly. Ok, sometimes, I’m a lot silly
But I digress… (yes, I do that a lot, but that’s how my brain is wired)
SQUIRREL (if you don’t get the “joke” click on the link and all will become clear)
Oh, back to the post…

TMI Tidbit #2: What happens in the bathroom, Stays in the bathroom. Usually.
I can’t bear to watch!
Everybody does it.
Everybody knows that everybody does it.
It’s part of being human.
We don’t talk about it though.
At least, not in polite company.
But when we are with our friends and there is beer involved, then, the truth comes out….
…
…we all dance in the bathroom!
If you just got this mental image of ball gowns, feather boas, rhinestones and bugle beads, that would be bathroom of the drag queen who lives across the courtyard from me. She is a special case, as is her bathroom. Nope–I’m talking about the rest us, with garden variety “basic” “average” bathrooms. Although I must confess that my bathroom not quite “basic” nor “average” as it is tastefully decorated with a lovely “cats and books” theme done in browns, reds and rich wood tones.
Ahem. But I digress. 😉
Back to dancing in the bathroom.
