Hey gang!
Hi everyone!
First of all, I want everyone to know how much I have missed all of you. I think of you often and do stop by from time to time to see quickly what’s going on around here, even if I don’t stop to read and comment on blogs. (I’m sorry about that) The past few months have been busy for me, with the holidays and all, and it seems to have me off track a bit and I can’t find my way back on track again. I haven’t been writing much and I seem to have grown an appreciation for hibernating for the winter, LOL. I’ve been taking some time to cuddle up on the couch with a nice warm blanket, play video games and watch some DVDs that I’ve been wanting to. Sometimes if I’m in the mood, I’ll add a nice warm mug of hot chocolate to the mix, too. To me, this little routine is one of the nicest and most comforting things to do in winter.
Now in spite of my couch potato tendencies, I have not become one with my couch. In fact, I am doing just the opposite. At the start of the year, I started a diet and an exercise routine so I can lose a few pounds. Now I HATE exercise but I came across a mini book called “Ten Minute Toning Exercises for Dummies”. I figured I would give it a shot and see what happens. I’ve also been improving my eating habits by doing little things, like eating wheat bread instead of white (but I miss my squishy white bread sometimes) So far, I’ve lost about 4 pounds. Not bad, but I hope to lose some more.
There are also some plans in the works for a reunion for the alumni from my high school for sometime in May or June. I went to a rather small school so there isn’t just one specific year that can attend. As long as you went there at some point…that’s good enough! We had a small reunion 3 years ago with just a handful of alumni but we are hoping this one might be bigger. Stay tuned!
So that’s pretty much what I’ve been up to. So how about all of you? What’s been going on in your lives? What’s been going on here on Friendburst that I’ve been missing? Heard any songs lately that you just can’t get out of your head? Seen any movies that you want to recommend?
I will try to visit here more often than I have been. I’m just like a boomerang. Even though I might be out of sight for awhile…..I’ll always come back!
Howdy Moonlight. much love.
Changing your eating habits and getting a good walk in are great. Add as much vinegar, Blue Berries, Spinach and Cinnamon as you can in your diet and always go with Whole Grains (that being said watch your grain intake).
I was bad today I had a blueberry Muffin and a cup of coffee. and then lunch was Jalapeno Sausage on Whole wheat bread.
I think I need a walk in the park and then to work on my muffler.
Hello!! Glad to see you here. I really don’t have anything to add except I found some good exercises through the On Demand feature on my cable box. Congrats on the four pounds!! It’s a start!
I’d love to hibernate my way from June until the end of September..(even though September is our first month of Spring…it would mean sleeping through the football finals…now that would be bliss!).
What games have you been playing? I need to moderate my gaming as it exacerbates an old work related injury…I’ve just cracked the shits at Assasin’s Creed..Revelations….got to a bit where I just keep dying, and dying and dying…
My weight tends to flucuate inversely with my happiness….I stopped owning bathroom scales about twenty five years ago, so the only time I actually knew what I weighed was when I donated blood. The first time I donated blood I was very depressed, they weighed me as I was on the verge of being too underweight to safely donate…they don’t bother weighing me anymore 🙂
At the moment the song on continuous rotation in my head is Marilyn Manson’s song SlutGarden, due to a show I was working on last night…
Lovely to hear from you…
LOL…Motley Crue is what I call my free range chickens….”Oh here comes the Motley Crue”….they always come running when they see our truck pull up to see if we have any scraps for them! 😉
Any yuk …exercise..hate it, but its gets my day started. I love Tai chi..I recommend it for those not crazy about exercising! Other than that I hike allot and swim! Glad your back :love: ….later!
SO NICE TO SEE YOU HERE. It’s been quiet around here of late…
Good to know you are doing well and staying busy. Personally I am working hard at the gain weight to fit in my fat clothes plan… I’d tell you more but i need to bake a cake and eat it. :love:
I’m with Freebird. I had this attempt in self-balancing which led me to Qigong and I like it ,you’re supposed to collect energy and not waste it and get tired and also it’s good for mobility and it stimulates all muscles, joints and circulation ( I have acrobatic sex as final goal 😆 😆 😆 😆 me motivated )Besides,that’s like my only hope for moving around a bit.Winter makes me a total lazy ass -mind that I’m a cancer, so I totally know what you mean there with your couch evil perverted choco joys 😆 😆 I’d sit alllllllll day on the top of my bed and still pretend to be tired in the evening .T 😛 Blamed be the “hardcore mental activity”

Great to see you, Moonlight. I like Lethal’s pic of the kitty on the couch. Become one with your couch is my thing…it’s a zen thing. Besides I love potatoes.
I was doing well at losing some weight by simply eating two moderate, healthy meals a day, not snacking, unless it was a bowl of organic popcorn or a carton of yogurt, and adding some outside work on the farm. Then Christmas came along…..
I wish you good success on your life improvement goals!
