What I'm Reading This Week #34
Hello you sassy beast! Ready for another flip flappin' fantastic weekend? Yes indeedy, Ally Sheedy. It's been a week of working ahead for me as I try to work on ideas for holiday posts. I know, no one is ready for Christmas but spit balling stuff is actually getting me excited for the season. I like to try to give myself the month of December off from writing new posts (except updating weekly happenings) so all I have to do is respond if needed. It lets me take a little mental break during the holidays to try to enjoy what I can then hop back into the new year hopefully rested and ready to roll. We did book our 30th anniversary trip, which is the same one we had to cancel this year and of course got travel insurance. It's just nice to have something to hopefully look forward to and it makes you go "where the heck did 4 1/2 years go?" because it seems like just yesterday we were celebrating our 25th. Do people even celebrate their 30t...
That is hilarious (the body suit and also the robot voice). I just remember when I first became aware of a fitness fad I was maybe 6 or 7 and it was summer so I pretty much had to go anywhere my Mom wanted to go. She was into Jazzercise so I got to go and watch all the ladies exercise to jazzy music. If only I'd had a phone with games or a tablet back then because I just remember being nothing but bored since I wasn't quite at the age where I was interested in women dancing around like that, lol.
ReplyDeleteBut personally, it was the cabbage soup diet that I jumped on. It did work because you basically are starving the whole time and they claim you can eat all the soup you want but the joke is that you don't want to eat any soup at all! Ugh!
I've done so many. They all work for while, even the sweat suit, but they are difficult to maintain and often you lose water weight and maybe muscle. Healthy habits are the way to go but if you were put on one of these fad diets in elementary school, as I was, you learn bad habits that haunt you your whole life. I've learned that any system that requires you to pay money or join a membership to learn its 'secrets' is probably a scam to make money for someone else and is unlikely to help me change lifelong habits.
ReplyDeleteI think the Jane Fonda VHS tapes and the Thigh Master were the two big ones that were all the rage for many years. I do remember the sweat suit though! LOL
