Dear Me.....Again

Dear Me,

So soon?  Okay, I'm sensing from your picture that you are feeling like a big puffy marshmallow.  Albeit still cute--from the lovely shade of pink.  I understand you have lost your torso; it has been slowly disappearing over the past few years.  You know we have had this discussion before; maybe this time you will listen to a voice of reason.

I counted your exercise dvds downstairs.....seven...you have seven sets of dvd's.  Almost eight until the voice of reason (me) talked you down from dialing the infomercial for Zumba.  Not to mention you were actually considering the SENSA program until you discovered the cost.  Need I mention the lovely treadmill & punching bag that is hanging downstairs; complete with boxing gloves?

We've established that you have all of the equipment and I've noticed that you are hitting the treadmill every morning...so that's good.  But there needs to be more done; maybe we could work in some heart rate time in the evenings.  Maybe the hubby could help you in that area!  Oh, sorry--I forgot family reads this at times.  Strike that last comment from the post before you hit publish!

Over the summer you had extensive blood work done.  Because you were convinced something was out of whack...there had to be a twenty pound tumor or your thyroid was out of sync.  Everything came back perfect...you even have perfect vitamin levels for pete's sake.   Do you remember what your Dr. told you?  I know you do.......

That's right---cut back on the carbs.  He equated eating large amounts of carbs to that of a drug addict...needing more to feed the crave.  You were actually doing that over the summer and wham....dropped a few pounds.  What happened?  Did you think I wasn't noticing the cake last night at seven thirty...p.m.!  What was that all about; when was the last time you ate after supper?

So here we are; just you and I.  What are we going to do....you know my answer.  That's right we are going to get our act together here because you have some high stress balls coming your way this year.  We don't need the physical part of us to take a hit.

By the way, the make-up looks good.  That was a good decision to spruce up the face a little with make-up that is made from dirt...okay, okay..minerals.  Don't forget to keep the lines of communication open with the Lord; it's really going to be your lifeline this year.

Work on portion control and the next time you write...I expect things to be lighter.  I'm talking about you girlfriend.

Love,
Me
