I know 'we' lost...

Granted, Iowa lost to Wisconsin yesterday.

But pretty sure this is the cutest Iowa fan ever.

Another Random Email Conversation:

About working out and being skinny:

Me: I knows.... I think I'll feel a lot better about myself if I get in shape....

Jessica: I need to before our cruise! My poor anytime fitness membership is missing me!

Me: your skinny... so shut up.

Jessica: Whatever!

Me: i hate skinny people

Jessica: Me too!

Me: Don't hate yourself Jessica... That's never a good sign.

Jessica: You are so far from fat…you might be out of shape but that is different!

Me: I jiggle... and not in Pam Anderson running down the beach, Baywatch sort of way.... I jiggle like Chunk.

Do the truffle shuffle!!!!!

Random email with my sister

I was ordering my ticket to the Des Moines Wine Opener Benefiting Cystic Fibrosis and they gave you a list of "titles". I believe my sister is the reason I misbehave.

Here is the conversation:

ME: It lists 'title' and has like, Ms, rabbi, and sister, Doc and Reverend… I really want to choose one of those….

Jessica: DO IT!!!!
Hahahaha,,,,that is sooooo funnyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!

ME: Oh... can I pick the title 'Captain', Captain Holly Moeller? Savvy?

Jessica: DO it!!!

ME: I did "The Honorable"... cause I think their idea of captain is military not pirate...
Whatev's.

G.I.M Rats

I officially joined the Goals In Motion (GIM) 9 week fitness challenge. Our team name is GIM Rats!
So far I'm going strong, eating well, kicking butt in resistance training and kickboxing and only felt like I was going to pass out once this morning. Of course, it's only day 2, but heck... it counts for something.
The challenge will end 3 days after my *gulp* 30th birthday. Yes that is right, this fine, single piece of a$$ is turning 30. Positive thoughts are a part of this challenge - I do not feel young or fine at this time. Give it 9 weeks though and I will feel as young as a 28 year old!

Rocky is still not thrilled with me waking him at 4:30 in the morning - this morning, he didn't even move when I got up though, so he must be getting used to it too.

Sooo out of shape.

Somehow I let my good friend Nicole talk me in to a 6 day trial period at a local kickboxing, resistance training, etc type of gym, called Goals In Motion. My friends Sandy and Katrisha also take the workout classes there so I saw them at the butt crack of dawn today too…
When I say butt crack of dawn, I mean the sun was still sleeping…. My alarm sounded at 4:30, Rocky huffed at me, jumped off the bed and went to his kennel. Even the dog knows that 4:30 is way to early to be up. Upon arriving at the class at 5:15 I learned that it was an hour long. 15 minutes in to it I thought my lungs were going to explode and my legs were going to give out. The worst part is there are mirrors all over so you can look at yourself work out. To my family and friends that have seen me run, and those who have made fun of me for the way I look while running… my goodness I really do look stupid.

We made it through and will go again tomorrow for resistance training - if I can even move by then.

I think I'd like it better if I could take the class in high heels. Preferably, pink ones.
