I have had a ball.


GAIAM Ball 

I got my GAIAM ball at Bed, Bath and Beyond and I still love it. I think it costs around $30.00 and my favorite exercise tape came with that ball. It is a quick and very relaxing work out that touches on most parts of the body. I really like Suzanne Deason, she has a nice and loving persona and I rather enjoy working out with her.


My Favorite 


I made the mistake of going to Target to look for more ball exercise tapes and I came across B.L.T. - BUTT, LEGS, THIGHS On A Ball and stupidly thought, "well, that will be good".


Hate It 

I cannot stand this woman. She is the Xena of the exercise world and loves to kick your ass while she makes it look so easy. I almost killed myself, thank you very much.

Honestly, Karen Voight has a million exercise tapes on the market - how can someone know so much about every exercise ever known to man? Pilates, Yoga, Ball, Cardio, Body sculpting...........how is she so fit?

I know how:


Does She Eat??? 

She doesn't eat. She has that Jane Fonda starved look thing going on.

I just heard that Jane Fonda didn't exercise as much as she let on, she had severe anorexia most of her life. And to think of the hours I spent trying to get a body like that when I used her yoga tapes every day, she should have clued people in on the magic finger trick for weight loss.

I am feeling good since I started using the ball and I also walk daily. It seems that I should have lost more weight but at least I feel good. I am a good size 12 (was getting to be a tight 12, loose 14) and I wasn't feeling good. I know that my funk played a large roll in my belly rolls but I also have become a blog potato. I spend way too much time on the computer when I should be out amoung the living more.

M. is finally starting to break his week long fever and it appears that my sore throat has maintained itself.

I am in a good frame of mind again and I intend to fight the good fight.

I am also eating well. I am using the food groups daily allowances and it makes me happy to be able to eat bread again. I love carbs and now, I don't feel guilty if I have a piece of bread.

My heart is filled with hope but I need to be cool. Kool And The Gang cool. I need to be more scientific minded about this IVF, is it possible to cushion the blow when it fails? I am too romantic so I am going to try to be KOOL.

Stress will never be a reason that my IVF failed but I don't have to take it to the next level either with my positive affirmations and belly rubbing good vibes and my visualizations. Malnourished crack whores get pregnant and it has been proven that no amount of wishing or willing makes a dent in my outcome.

I just don't want to get the wind knocked out of me again, it makes it so difficult to stand up again.

I am tired of being sad.

In the meantime, I will get my happy fat ass on my big fat ball and have a good day.
