WonderTread

I exercised today. Guilt made me do it...or gratitude--you pick. Last night my niece Annie was here and she was bemoaning (great word, bemoaning) her injured knee and the way it keeps her from her beloved exercise. (Annie lost a boatload of weight in 2007 and has kept it off for a year.)

So today, when I was (yet again) contemplating not exercising, I decided in honor of Annie I'd better stop being a whiner and be grateful that I can exercise. Sure, I'm as out-of-shape as a reject loaf at the Wonder Bread factory* (that's my favorite bad analogy EVER!), but at least my body has working joints and muscles. So I did rejoice exceedingly as I treadmilled this morning: hurray for knees! hurray for ankles! huzzah for hips! 

*Touring the Wonder Bread Factory was my favorite elementary school field trip of all time. Paper hat with Wonder Bread circles? Check. Tiny load of Wonder Bread for each of us? Check. 

But I don't think I've purchased a load of Wonder Bread in my entire life, so their advertising ploy didn't work. 

As you can see, I've been busy

Sorry about the lack of blog so far this week. I have good reasons for my absence, and I'll be back tomorrow (I hope) with more information and lots of blah blah blah. Maybe Sara will appear at some point as well. If I had any short-term memory whatsoever I might remember when she was due back from her trip...

Meanwhile, put down the cookies, dust off the treadmill, and believe that it's possible to lose weight at Christmastime!
