Jazzercise was definitely a success yesterday. It was a lot of fun with really good music and fun dance moves. I definitely could not hang during the last twenty minutes when we did weights and strength type stuff, but I know that I did my best. After time, surely that stuff will get easier right? I am going to believe that it will as long as I stick with it. The bottom line is that I exercised for a full hour and I had a good time doing it. As much as I rebel against exercise and usually hate doing…

I am writing a super short post this morning because I am about to head out to try Jazzercise! I used to love aerobics classes in college, and I am hoping that this will be fun and motivating. I also am a little nervous about meeting new people, because sometimes you fit in and sometimes you just don’t. I will write more later and let you know how it goes!

While working through my own issues with confidenc and inner struggles with the decisions and choices I have made, I have slowly been realizing that I have based so much of my happiness on expectations,some of which I am not entirely sure where they came from. Let me explain… There is a part of me that feels a little like a failure just because I am 31 and am not married with children. Now, as much as I champion Sex and the City and their single girl life, there will always be a part of me that feels like I…

Someone has leaked the extended movie trailer for Sex and the City, so I of course went straight to youtube to watch it yesterday. It looks amazing. From what I can tell, it looks like the main idea of the movie is Carrie getting married to Big (aka John James Preston).

The trailer also makes it look like maybe Steve cheated on Miranda, which is very hard to believe, and will most definitely make…

Today finds me at a loss of what to write about, so instead I will share a couple of poems that I wrote a while back. They are a bit rough, but from the heart. Memory In a bar across townWe gathered with smilesAnd friendly faces.I eased into the momentAfraid of the hopes it heldIn laughter and good time fun.But just as I began to breatheSomeone lit the machAnd inhaled depply.The source of it all was thereOn the table burning slowlyLike a fogotten campfire.I watched as the white ghost of itRaised up in circlesTwisting and slightering upwards.It danced with the…

Valerie Bertinelli has a book that just came out called “Losing It: And Gaining my Life Back One Pound at a Time” and I think I am going to go buy it today. I got a coupon from Barnes and Noble today to get it for only fifteen bucks, so I think I should go get it. Not just because I have a coupon, but because it directly applies to my life also. Yesterday I was folding clothes and happened to turn on the TV and see Oprah’s interview of Valerie. First of all, she looks amazing. I remember when…
