I’m on a mission to boost moral.  Or at least boost my booty.  A year and half ago… my six day-a-week work out schedule came to screaching halt.  I was busy, I had issues, I had blah, blah, blah life.  Fortunately, I lost weight.  Unfortunately, I lost a lot of quarter bouncing muscle tone.   For the first and probably the last time in my life… I actually thought… “I need to gain 5 lbs.”  A problem easily fixed with donuts and cookies.  Yet, a few months ago, I looked in the mirror and realized my derriere had apparently snuck out and legally changed her name to… Blogger Butt (TM )

My trip back to the gym was by no means a plunge.  I started by “only wearing” work out clothes, wearing my MBT’s, then I updated my I-pod.  I mean, I had good intentions to hit the gym but… well, you know.   Finally the day came when… I.  Worked.  Out.  Ah, what a moment of clarity it was for me.  I was on the stairmaster listening to some old Micky Avalon when I remembered how much I missed feeling strong, healthy and relaxed.   Or in other words… taking care of Michele.  Because truly, your body is the only thing you have.  Anyway, let me get back to surface stuff before I let anyone in.

So,  last month I decided to get my rear back in gear in 90 days with  five days of 60 minute cardio, 3 days of weights, lunges, squats, crunches etc.  I started this week, so the Blogger Butt should be gone by Nov  3rd.  I plan on making posts on my Blogger Butt Buster progress; however, I’m sure my writing will be more active when school starts in two weeks.  In the meantime, read about my always parallel friend Lacey Jones as she kind of says “Take that Haters!”
