How often have you bragged or been bragged to about making it to the gym?

Not that often, honestly.

But, bon, I don't see the point of that statement if France and the US are similarly uncheered by an increase in physical exertion.

This is not what the author said. He said:

I didn't say that's what he said. I posit that Americans are uncheered and he posits that the French are uncheered. That's where I was discussing from.

I also think that better self esteem is generally better mental health.

Oh, and some other stuff. I'm going back to bed.

I would find it totally weird to have anyone address me as Ms.

Does take a lot of work. Occasionally I respond to "Ms. [lastname]" with "Yes, Mr. Guerrero?" This tended to surprise the middle-schoolers.

I've bragged about making it to the gym because it's so unusual for me. And I can never keep it up. I get so tired of the "If you'd just exercise, you'd have more energy!" sentiment, since -- unless it can start working within two or three visits -- I don't have enough energy to exercise regularly! You'd think this would be an obvious obstacle.

Of course, then we get into the tired=lazy=bad issue, and I go eat chips instead.

Being fit makes anyone feel better. I don't mean being skinny, but being fit--getting your heart rate up and using your muscles to the point of tiredness on a regular basis so they are toned and strong. We are designed to move and all the systems of our body work better when we do so. I think that's a fact which no one would argue. But how one gets healthy is immaterial, although we do make gym-going a moral thing here.

Since my surgery, I have fallen back into rationalizing not getting much exercise andit sucks. I am working on getting back in shape again right now and I know I will feel better (noot about myself, just better in general) once I do so.

Our lunch options have been canceled, sadly.

Wah. May the hotel sandwiches be tasty and edible.

I have french fries and new glasses! I'm a little worried that other people aren't going to find them as awesome as I do.

Yeah I did this too. It turns out I just hated going to the gym. So I figured out what I can do for exercise that doesn't involve going to the gym and I'm much happier! Although I guess I do still feel all morally superior (to my lazy self, that is) when I exercise. Right now I'm having a challenge for myself that if I exercise every day for a whole month straight I get to buy the Office season 3 dvds. And I decided last night that if I do something every day until the end of the year I can get a new tattoo. I just like a competition, I guess, even if it's a self-imposed one!

Certainly the longer you wait to eat them, the less awsome they are going to get.

If they match your rainbow shoes, I might have to mock you.

Please tell me you mean shrift's glasses and not her french fries.

Hey JZ - what does Matilda have planned for her birthday?
