Bouncy bouncy bounc-zzzzzzzzzzz

[jethrien]

I got myself an exercise video, since I'm not comfy jogging after dark and it's dark before I even get home. I got myself "Fat-burning Dance Party" or something like that. And, wow, I have no coordination. But y'see, my body is interpreting the burning in my abs as meaning that I'm dying and is flooding my system with endorphins to make my passing happier. So I'm fantastically happy and bouncy right now. Despite the fact that my stomach is interpreting the burning in my abs as meaning I've got food poisoning or something.

Chuckro points out that I'm probably going to run out of energy soon and pass out. And he wants me to go to bed before he has to carry me and put me there.

In other news - the fun zappy guns from Macy's have betrayed me. After a lot of research and thought, I decided I wanted to register for Noritake Crestwood Cobalt Platinum china. The display on the shelf at Macy's was of Crestwood Cobalt Platinum china. The little sign said Crestwood Cobalt Platinum. The label we scanned said Crestwood Cobalt Platinum. Why, then, were we registered for a full set of Crestwood Platinum, which is apparently an entirely different thing? Fortunately, my future mother-in-law noticed that my email and my registry did not agree, so I fixed it. I suspect there would have been whining and ranting in 9 months or so if we ended up with a set of random china. (At Macy's, not at anyone who gave us anything.)

Strangely, I find dancing to the instructions of a video more fun when being scored on it (DDR, that is.) But I know the feeling.

The thing is, also, DDR carries somewhat more respectable connotations than a exercise video. You can play DDR with a group of friends, or even (if you're good enough) in public. I was ordered to leave the room during the use of the dance party video, lest mocking should occur.

I think ChuckRo should be encouraged to participate in the Dance Exercise Video. Mocking is fun.

It's hard enough exercising as it is. I don't need to be mocked while I'm at it.

I think Chuckro should be encouraged to participate by actually participating, not by mocking. The fun of mocking could be shared, as well as the benefits of actual participation.

And afterwards, I can go for a ride on my flying pig, and Lucifer and I will have snowcones together.

Fat-burning Dance Party pooper.

Stranger things have happened.

Your father and I used to run together, before he pulled his leg muscle. I walked. We had a lot of fun, actually. There was some mutual mocking, but then again, there was also ice cream.

I meant that you should mock HIM. The woman should always mock the man. It reminds them that women really run the world.

I really hope it's called "Fat-burning Dance Party" because that would seriously crack me up. :) And it seems like it's a good one, too...I need to change up my workout...a video might be just the thing. :)

It's definitely something-something Dance Party.

Anyway, I say good for you and salute you. A dance exercise video is a lot of fun, and it's very difficult to get exercise in the winter-- especially when you're also working full-time.

I'm not working at all and haven't walked outside in more than a week, thanks to the dreary weather and lure of 75% off sales in Macys. And strolling the cashmere aisle definitely does NOT count as exercise. As my spreading rear end proves...

I'm guessing I've become too used to fitness classes to be sufficiently motivated by a video. (I think it's because I'm used to dance classes.) Which is unfortunate, because they are both on the expensive side and hard to schedule to boot.

I've been looking for a good individual sport to keep me in shape, but so far I haven't found anything suitable. Running and swimming are out, walking is inefficient... if I lived in a warm place, cycling would work nicely... but I don't.

One of these days I'm also going to learn to play a passable game of tennis.
