Well, this is how. I didn't look this up because I was addicted to facebook, I'm just worried about everyone else. So, believe it or not, there are 2 million + sites willing to help those of you out there that maybe feel you're ADDICTED TO FACEBOOK!? Are you on there to merely stay connected 'they' ask on 'wikihow'? OR are you there to peruse through old flames? For whatever reason, let's ask ourselves on this day, why and how much time are we spending on this black hole of a website? Myspace sure did fizzle out. Then came Facebook, what's next I often wonder. My cousin's little boy Christopher John Poston Jr. was born today, and it did cross my mind, what in the worldwidweb will be out there when he gets to be our age? (our age is about 27 by the way :)) So, when you're spending endless hours out there this evening on FB I'll be forcing myself to listen to my ipod, jog even after having glasses of wine, reading the book I'm teaching tomorrow, and wondering why in the hell Ugly Betty looks like I did in 9th grade. So, here's to quitting facebook for now, if even for an evening :) What an accomplishment.

Did you click on that? Well, you should. THIS is how I felt at Anytime Fitness this a.m. Thanks for my Saturday ego boost gym boy! So, when is it OK to $ell your Services as the trainer tried to do today? How about when I'm walking out the door, he asks me how my workouts are going and then proceeds to tell me (with a 'so-so' hand motion) that my technique needs some work? Well, needless to say, I felt like Phoebe running in the park, from FRIENDS! I've always liked to think of myself as more of the Rachel-type-runner, but now, thanks to the guy trying to sell his 'techniques' I feel like Phoebes in the park. I think I know how to do a squat, lunge, and even, try to believe this...a push-up! However, I guess I'll be dipping into my wallet in the fabulou$ economy to try to brush up on my skills of how to do a jumping jack properly. I used my old trainer (not OLD) sorry, but past trainer Rik's good ideas--(HI Rik if you're out there somewhere)-but maybe I've lost my touch. So, as I once again pick up the pieces of my shattered ego (haha) I'll be heading out to H&M and hopefully people won't mistake me for Phoebe on the way there.
(PS, to those of you who've sent your words of encouragement to get back to the blogging, thanks-your kindness is like a rainbow for my soul-hehe!) Guess I've picked up dad's sense of humor, need to work on that. Only kidding, Bruce! Anyway, after the car wreck, I had to take a little break from working out, (obviously), blogging, and making a positive change in the world, ;} but I'm back on track and will be making a difference in the world of fitness pretty soon too. Britney's coming out with a work out tape, right? I just might, too. Don't try to tell me I can't do a lunge....
