GOF on DVD ?!?!?!?

It has now been reported from two sources (Blockbuster for one) that the DVD of Harry Potter and the Goblet Of Fire will be on DVD for sale on Tuesday April 4th, 2006. WAHOO!! Less than 4 months away and we can watch the best Potter movie yet in our own homes. Fred and George ROCKED when they tried to get their name in the Goblet.

Day 1 at the gym

Well, I woke up this morning and decided to get my tail to the gym and start bustin' it. Roanoke, the BAC is "empty" @ 9:30 in the mornin'. Great time to go if you don't like the crowd. You know the Desperate Housewives in full makeup and Prada sweatsuits on the treadmills, and the No-neck jocks screaming as they lift way too much weight, but they won't admit it.

Balls to the wall or nothing!!!

So, I did my 25 min on the Elliptical machine (gotta start slow) and then some leg presses. I figure your thighs are the second biggest muscle group (1st is back I think) so if they get a good workout, then more stuff to burn.

Marcie, is that right?

I feel great and am very glad I've started to work-it-out. Now, if I can just get an MP3 player to take with me ... Santa, are you listening?

The Emancipation of the GRAMMYS.

She became the biggest selling female artist of all time, had a hurricane's run all over the charts in the 90's. Then a little thing called "Glitter" happened, but I digress. Mariah came back with full force in 2005 with the Emancipation of Mimi. Her best album to date. And apparently I'm not the only one who feels that way. This morning, "Ms. Mimi" was nominated for a staggering 8 GRAMMY awards from NARAS. Finally, the music industry is listening. Other big noms this year went to John Legend (AWSOME TALENT) and Kayne West (again AWSOME). Even those who don't like her voice, especially the high notes (Sherry) like this album. So, congrats Mariah and good luck at the Grammys.

LOST ?!?!?!?

I'm too distraught to post anything tonight. LOST was a repeat.

Peace out!

My New Best Friend

For those of you who don't know, on Monday Nov 28th I was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes. I knew that it was coming, because 3 Grandparents were and my mother is a diabetic. It was just a matter of time for me. Not to mention the fact that I just sat on my ass and got fatter and fatter without worrying about my weight. Well, I can't say I didn't worry about it, but I sure didn't worry enough to get up and do anything about it. In my mind I always wanted to be in better shape and be a healthier person. Now, I don't have an option.

The one bit of good news that I have is that my Dr. told me that If I were to drop, ohh 40 lbs, and continued to eat right, my diabetes could go into remission and I could go off my medication (Actos 15mg) and live a more normal life. Not saying that diabetics don't live a normal life, but a lifestyle that is a tad bit more "loose" than living by a diabetic diet and exercise regime.

I've just joined a local gym (the BAC, for those of you in Roanoke) and am beginning Diabetic Nutrition classes suggested by my doc. With the info from the classes and from www.bodybuiling.com that I've been reading, I'm sure my transformation will be to the point that my friends and family won't even recognize me. At least that's my plan.

So those of you at work, I need your help. If you see me eating something you think I shouldn't be, HOLLA at me. I know the 12 Days of Christmas @ the pharmacy will be hard, but I can do it, with your help. To my family, while we're eatin' at the usual family "functions" help me not to go crazy, and don't let me get seconds. To Amber, Geoff, Sarah, and D. Let's try not to bring any more junk into the house. We've got enough as it is. :O)

Well, I'm off my soapbox for now, but I'm sure I'll have more to say later...
