Shimmy!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this show. 30 minutes fly by like no tomorrow and I feel somewhat like a dancer again. I'm not sure if it's the music, clothes or the artful places (I think so anyway) they dance, or just their slamming bodies! Hips and abs and even a little strechmark or two. I would do this every single day instead of a stupid crunch!! So, if you have time, tonite they are doing 2, half hour segments, so check your local listings. You won't regret it!

I challenge you

A friend of mine has put up a fun blog amongst her friends to get fit and strong in 2008. I thought it was a great idea. I found this on my TNO site and challenge all of you to a race. It can be anything from a fun run/walk to a full fledge marathon or triathlon if it suits you. Either way, I have found great joy and amazing accomplishment though my own races.

For a moment, when you are at the starting line,
stop everything,
listen to your heartbeat, listen really closely to it.
In those beats you will also hear the voices of everyone who loves you and,
know one thing for sure,
in their voices you will find the strength.

Now is a good time to step back a minute,
let it all sink in.
You are about to become a member of a select group of people,
not just those who ran a Marathon,
but those who had the heart and drive to achieve
what at one time they thought could not be achieved.

That is your strength
That is your confidence,
That is YOU!!!
