@Julie at jbulie's blog, Thank you so much, Julie. And I totally deserved that B. It was my fault for flunking my final. How does one go from a 95% on their mid-term to a 60% on their final? I can only say I got in the way of my own success. I was recommended for the MBA program by the department chair. One day, perhaps.
Btw, love your blog!

I'm a teacher and I'm telling you right now that loser teacher who gave you a B and ruined your GPA should be fired. Isn't it true that it's ALWAYS something? Good job. I'm giving you an A.

@Dave Doolin, Tonage, with a long 'o'. Boy, that could be taken wrong, couldn't it? I want to be tone, period.
Free weights I can do at home or the gym, but I'm not afraid of the machines. As long as I get where I want to be and can maintain. Maintaining is key. I'm getting rid of all my larger clothes once I get there. No turning back.
You might have a point on the pants. One day I had on a pair of pants I thought made me look cute. That was until I was shown a picture of what I looked like from behind. I immediately took them off and gave them to Goodwill. Yet, I can't help but think I'm partially to blame.

Tonage? Free weights. Not machines. It's all the pants fault. Always! .-= Dave Doolin shares some words of wisdom ..Saturday Morning Surfing: Jerry the Plumber and His Bad Day =-.

@Sire, Thank you, Sire. I had fun creating it.

I was super thin, but never learned to eat properly. I love working out, but like you find it easier when I have a partner. None of that here. Dwayne has back and neck issues [fell off a roof 17 years ago] and gets his exercise climbing ladders at work. Not that he would ever do any traditional exercises anyway. I think I’m going to break down and do some personal training. Who knows, maybe I’ll find someone to partner with at the gym if I can just get there.

Love your new header Anne, I think it rocks.

I don’t believe I am self obsessed, although I am aware as I get older that I need to lose a little weight. I used to be pretty chubby when I was younger, and converted it all to muscle by doing weights.

Then I got married, had kids and stuff an got out of the exercise routine. I need to get back into it, but every time I start something goes wrong. It’s starting to piss me off. Reckon it would be easier if I had a training partner but the wife isn’t interested. Exercise to her is a dirty word

@Ms. Freeman, It’s empowering to know we are a different AND others see it. My kids have inherited some of these quirks and developed their own as well. It makes life so much more fun, I think.

I can tend to be self-obsessed quite a bit as well. It is all about me after all. I love the part where you said that you are often called the odd duck and took it as a compliment. Mee too! I've been called the free-spirited black sheep by family and friends and ran with it. Tonage is a great word! Rock on.... Lovely post! ) .-= Ms. Freeman shares some words of wisdom ..Why I Welcome Being Laid Off From My Job =-.
