let there be *jazz hands*

So I am in. I figure if Mrs. G can bare her bum in polka dot panties in an effort to make me healthier and such, the least I can do is play along. Lord knows I will take any opportunity to ramble on about the joys of the eight count and dancing.

It completes me.

Greg took this picture last summer, at the coast. I was on about 80 mg of Prednisone at the time and sporting chipmunk cheeks ala steroids.
Rock climbing, coastline style

I was on a heavy dose until I tapered off just a few months ago. Doctors tell me the equation goes like this:

Months spent on Puffy, Weight increasing drugs is = Months taking off said Puffy jumpsuit.

Like pregnancy. *sigh*

I guess I am on track, and with a little help from my friends, and a swift kick to my ample padding, I hope to improve my health and impress my rheumatologist when he returns from Spain this fall.

(He's a stickler for effort and hard work.)

So, are you in?
Post-glisten, just this morning. Yes, it is raining.

I feel better than I look. Really.

Sorry, babe... not in. I'm on 50 mg of prednisone right now and guess what... opposite effect. I've dropped from 117 to 107 in two weeks. I've got no boobies left and I used to have a really, awesome, fantastic rack.

If I exercise, there would be nothing left for Veto to squeeze. It's really an awful problem... just as bad as being overweight. People always comment with "ohmygawd what is WRONG with you? you are wasting away!" like I have a mental disease! Just a bit. You know that.

You look fantastic-all glowing and kick-ass-atastic. I was in the rain too.

You look gorgeous right now, Mama Milton!
I'm angling to get a wii fit for my birthday next month. I eat pretty decent these days but the exercise? Non-existant at this point. Thanks for the kick of inspiration - you look fab!

I am in - once I get moved (because stress eating is going to see me through...)
I'm up 25 lbs in a year so I need some help.
Though there will be no baring my knickers - I am nowhere near as courageous as Mrs G!!
And you look awesome - though the chipmunk cheeks were cute too!

You look amazing!

So you're saying exercise works? Darn. I was hoping for evidence to the contrary. :-)

My treadmill is waiting...

You go girl. Man, I can't remember the last time I worked out. You look great!
Talk about kindness. I post an untouched picture I asked Lexi to snap after class - she looked at me, like I was crazy, because 'you are all sweaty' - and you are too sweet.

Thanks so much. Really.

Ahhh, but remember it is better to 'wrook' good, then to feel good I always say. But baby, you 'wrook' 'mawwvoolus'!

Fernando Llamas...err...I mean your hubby.

You really are, what's the word? Amazing. And it's not just the jazz hands stuff.

If it really is helpful you, I will drag my ass out to do whatever [except jog] you would like me to do. Let me know...

I gained FIFTEEN POUNDS last year. 15! So I'm working on losing that. Yeah.
