WOW! I really needed to read this today! Thank you!!! You are right SHOWING UP is the key. I love to workout but I need to SHOW UP in terms of my diet to get the results I say I want. Thanks for the reminder and the laughs!

Here’s some unsolicited. probably unwanted advice–but if you are interested in sports that will improve your hand/eye coordination, you might try something more fast-paced than tennis, something that might prompt a more instinctual response. I used to have problems with hand/eye coordination when I played tennis and slow-pitch softball, in part because (this is going to sound weird) I had too much time to think and I could psych myself out. However, when I played fast-pitch softball, raquetball, and volleyball, I had more success because my body reacted better than my mind would let it when I had time to think about what I was doing. Anyway–something to think about. Raquetball is a pretty nifty sport, and might give you a better workout than tennis, anyway.

Apparently "dig in"/"digging" has been exhaustively analyzed online: http://xahlee.org/Periodic_dosage_dir/sanga_pemci/dancing_queen.html http://www.phrases.org.uk/bulletin_board/14/messages/90.html http://www.phrases.org.uk/bulletin_board/14/messages/114.html Apparently "dig in" was in the original lyric sheet. However, as a resident of Japan, I tend to think this was just a non-native transcriptionist mistake. Here in Japan the English lyric sheets with CDs and the English subtitles on U.S. movies are filled with such "homonym" errors. And non-native speakers just mangle the language. I like "Rainy Days Never Stays" by The Brilliant Green, but the title does cause a chuckle. PQ - Heh, I am amazed by the amount of time and thought people have put into debating this topic. I personally like "diggin'" better, but I'm too lazy to change the image and according to the official site I'm using the right lyrics, so I'm just going to leave it.

First of all I just want to say there wasn’t even an internet when I was in high school!!! Thanks for making me feel OLD! ;~)

Second, just came across your blog, absolutely LOVE IT! You are doing awesome an I also agree with diet girl, you aren’t in denial you especially if you are online telling us you think you are.

I agree with diet girl; I don’t see denial in your entry. In fact, it seems like the exact opposite to me.

I’m so glad you like running! I think I need to get a stop watch so I can time my mile. I’ve been letting Nike+ do it, but it averages the time for the entire run. I’d really like to time a sprint or just see how fast I can run 1 mile, not 3 or 5.

Great post! And you look great in the photos!
