Good work!

Yay!!

Ha! You guys are awesome ;)

Good joib you!

You do Zumba? What’s it like? I have seen a strangely mesmerizing and very long infomercial for it in a bagel shop. It seemed like it either might not exist outside infomercial-land, or that it might be a cult. I was fascinated.

I do Zumba at a local art gallery – the owner is also a Zumba instructor. They’re really small classes and kind of like aerobics + dancing combined. It’s an hour long and she plays both salsa-esque songs and popular songs (like Taio Cruz stuff) and we follow a set of steps for each one so it’s the same routine each time. It’s the only kind of continued exercise that doesn’t make me want to kill the person responsible.

Why are you guys talking about Zumba!? For god’s sake, did you miss the “cheesecake-stuffed strawberries” part? OMG, I had no idea those things even existed. Yum!

[This was Johnny’s last post on Health Month. He was later found being lifted out of his house with a crane.]

Hahaha, I didn’t even look at the strawberries. One glance and my resolved would have melted away.

That’s discipline!

Two of my three are different, because I discovered limiting things is much harder for me than adding things. I kept my exercise rule, which is getting easier as it becomes more of a habit. I ditched my soda rule, but I think next month I’ll try to limit soda by adding a must-drink-water rule.

The three rules I had in March I carried over to April—two of them in the exact same form, and one I increased from two days a week to three. For me they got easier with time…it was like once I started doing them, I realized they weren’t really that hard to do. The thought of doing them before I had started was more burdensome than actually doing them was.

I kept 2 rules from March and carried them over and just made them a wee bit harder. I found they are easier in April. I think having them be there two months in a row made me just much more aware of them so they are true healthy habits now.

The two rules in March I left behind I still do but believe they have become ingrained and I really don’t even think about them before I do them now (taking medication and vitamin).

I played in Feb and March, and each month I’ve kept the previous rules but tweaked them. One or two I made easier (because I sucked at them); one or two I made harder. If you wait to set up the next month’s game, the wizard will suggest adjustments based on your past behaviour.

Congrats! The receptionist at my office always has candy at her desk and I haven’t had ANY since I Healthmonth because I didn’t want to click the button. :D

Good job (both of you). I have yet to exercise that level of control, but at least I feel guilty when I indulge. It’s a start.

Ohh, that is the hardest thing. Good job.

If you can believe it, a completely different person brought in cheesecake-stuffed strawberries. What is WRONG with people?!?! ;)

60 minute aerobics class! That’s intense. Wow, good for you.

Wha-pow! You are mighty!

Nice job!

Kickass! Nice one.

Yay! That one’s really hard. Good for you!

That is a tough rule! You should be proud!
