Not a Chance
It will be a very cold day in hell before I choose to celebrate my middle aged girth and the ravages of aging over doing what I can to stave them off.
Today – bike in trainer for 45 and run 3 miles. Then I can dance and say “Look at meeee….. I’m training for a half iron distance triathlon!!!”

I’m with you – fight the fight and celebrate the battles! Celebrate what your body can do v. how it looks when compared to scrawny runway models. Now, when I see one of those chicks, I think: I could kick her butt in a race! That’s better than a flab free (or baby free) girth any day!

16 Jan 08 at 10:24 am #no way! this is my year to do whatever it takes.
16 Jan 08 at 10:47 am #Right on.

16 Jan 08 at 2:57 pm #Stave away dear 21st! You are going to find more muscles and sinew in the next few months that will power you across that 1/2 IM line with no worries!

what a depressing “cartoon.” ugh.
16 Jan 08 at 4:39 pm #Good workout.
16 Jan 08 at 6:55 pm #I am so there. BUT I have decreased the girth a bit just with no sugar, no white flour diet and increased training. You will get there! People who celebrate middle age are on a different planet!

17 Jan 08 at 12:43 pm #The kind of self-abnegation in the cartoon is uniquely female.Can you imagine the same strip with a male character?
17 Jan 08 at 2:48 pm #People like you are taking back the definition of “aging” for all of us, TFC Mom. And may I say thank you?
I fight that aging thing every day. I also avoid bright lights in front of mirrors.
I am now the proud manager of an idrive account. Thank you 21CM.

17 Jan 08 at 8:10 pm #Hey, that water stop gig sounds like a blast!!!!
Love your attitude.
18 Jan 08 at 8:56 pm #i love fbofw!
i don’t have full-length mirrors for a reason. just got one recently. i have to face facts or at least know i’m going out with my fly undone.
wish i had your ‘tude, ma dude.
(did you know oscar wilde came up with ‘dude’? i didn’t. it’s a combo of duds and attitude. thank me later.)
