actually...it's more like little Dragon fat......

Not to get TMI (too late!!!), but I have this delightly little pudge that child #2 left me with.....the bastard! lol ;) I say that with all love...... He's a good boy, just made me gain and retain weight I did not want. I looked awesome after I had Amy.....went right back to [almost] the size I was prior to getting pregnant. But after I had Kyle, I was never able to loose it (I blame it on having them too close together).

So....now I just have to work on it.....ugh.

Hobie, I understand....I don't think the elliptical has actually moved in well over a year. Poor, neglected thing.....

That'll last a couple weeks. Then it gets better.

Heard Dennis Miller talking with Norm McDonald on the radio last week. McDonald said he'd been a vegetarian for the past year.

Miller: You're eating vegetarian?

McDonald: Yeah. I mean, I'm not dogmatic about it. I still eat fish.


...and chicken...


...and beef...

I'd like some info on where you got them, because I lost my cast iron stomach at about the same age. :paranoid:

Then this year I started adding laziness to my regimen and I gained 9 pounds! :D Jubilations!

I never gained weight until I started dieting in my late twenties (the really stupid part is, my weight was well within norms for my height back then ). Eventually it dawned on me that my "binges" (meal at BK) were smaller than my regular meals before (I could no longer down a shake or fries with my burger), and of course my calories were way below former-normal while not binging (I was not much of a binger), so I quit dieting. At which point my weight stabilized, but it's never dropped back down.

Does seem to be a connection between weight and exercise, though -- realized recently my weight's been going up and I think it's because I crashed and burned after a bout of chemo followed by emergency (unrelated) surgery. I'm fine now, but I think I need to get back up to speed on the exercise thing!

:belt:

I enjoy bike riding and I need to ride more, spent good money on a nice bike and I haven't ridden it nearly enough. Are there any bike/hiking trails in your area? I live near one that I enjoy riding on. I live close enough to bike there, and have, but have taken to driving there with my bike on the back of the car as I have to cross a very busy intersection which I don't feel safe biking across.

There is one nearby, but I don't know how far it goes. I looked in a book on bike trails, but there aren't many that are close enough. Even did a Google search--nada.

In my youth, I would walk miles. I think the farthest I've walked is from Fashion Island to Laguna Beach via the PCH. Or maybe it was that one time I walked from Los Angeles Valley College to home when we lived in Shadow Hills --part of Sunland--then walked up Foothill Blvd. to both of my then part-time jobs--the first cleaning the church I was attending, then a few doors down to clean a counseling center. Then walking back home--I didn't get home until after midnight. And you'd better believe my legs, butt and back hurt for days afterward! I didn't have a bus pass nor enough money for bus fare is why. I was in my early 30s at the time. Don't think I can do it today.
