Secret Revealed.

While a friend and I were at a retirement home yesterday evening to perform Christmas songs- an elderly gentleman stopped us and asked a very interesting question:

"Do you ladies wear heels?"

To which we replied:

"Yes, on most occasions..."

"Well, my wife wore heels all of her life, and even at the age of 80, she had the legs of a young lady."

There you have it girls- the secret to having good legs has been revealed. If you want the nice legs of a young lady when you're 80...WEAR HEELS.

After this conversation, I couldn't help but picture this... Thank you "FRAGILE" ITALIAN LEG LAMP MAKER...we aspire to have legs like this!

A very sweet lady in my ward offered me two tickets to Saturday night's Mormon Tabernacle Choir performance with David Archuleta. What a wonderful night it was- beautiful music, dancing and readings- spending time with my wonderful mother-in-law, fantastic, yummy food! I enjoyed every moment! Bravo! Merry Christmas!

Best quote of the day from Work:

From a doctor to a patient (who just received some laxatives for a surgery later on that day...)

"Well- have a great time with those bowel movements today...see you around lunch time."

Should those 2 statements really go together in a run-on sentence?

Obviously this doctor has never done the prep work for a colonoscopy...Great time? Yeah right.

Ah Ha! Moment at Work-

I am kind of glad that I don't have the gift of tongues or interpretation...I can pretty much tell

when a patient is swearing at me in Spanish, Slavic, Sign Language...

I just have to remember that I am the one with the needle.

Early Resolution.

I have decided to do my New Year's resolution a little early this year.

Eat Healthier-Exercise-Lose Weight.

I have only been at this for 5 days- but I am feeling pretty good about my decision-

Day 1- Pumped and motivated- healthier choices, counting calories, watching portions, pilates.

Day 2- Really missing my sodas, sore from 45 min. pilates.

Day 3- Dying for sugar! I want my chocolate and diet coke!

Day 4- Not as sore- my craving for sweets subsiding...

Day 5- Enjoying my daily pilates (it's calming...) and I am not craving junk food as much!

Wish me luck!

A special thanks to my parents who really went above and beyond in changing their lifestyle with eating healthier and exercise! You inspire me!
