ON exercize solving problems

I love the movie "The First Wives Club " What better cast than Diane Keaton, Goldie Hawn and Bette Middler????

With a Cameo by Stockard Channing? An Sarah Jessica Parker - to name a few???

It was destined for greatness.

In this film, The three main characters + Stockard Channing are college chums that have been divorced by their first husband's having been the driving force help them reach their success and have joined forces to make them pay.

In the film, Goldie Hawn the alcoholic, self absorbed Movie star gets on her treadmill while talking over how to get Bette Middler's husband's books for his business.

Bette looks at her and says "doesn't it drive you crazy? You climb and climb and get nowhere, you run and run and your always in the same place"

Goldie responds "No, I always feel great after this. I work off the booze and I get my best ideas while I am working out"

Bette: " Sure you do - I KNOW where Mortie's books are - they are in his home office - but how to get up there?"

Goldie: "Duardo"

Bette: "What?"

Goldie: "Duardo. He's an INterior decorator isn't He??? You work for him don't you?"

Bette: "Oh my God - She DOES get good ideas when she works out!"

The reason for this dialogue is simple.

I feel better after a workout. A serious one in which I work to complete physical exhaustion. I do this in some format every single day. I work my muscles to muscle fatigue.

And when I am done, I think more clearly. I see things that were stressing me more objectively and I am a much nicer person to be around.

I am in a bit of a waiting period. I don't DO waiting very well. (Bernie, Maple and AM - STOP LAUGHING!!!! ) I don't have that kind of patience though God knows, I am really making an effort here.

So I fill my time with projects, exercize, teaching my kidlettes, practicing, reading, talking to friends, playing with my cats.

I find that the exercize is what really does it for me. With my emotions so close to the surface right now, and not having the outlet I really need for them, I am immersing myself in my total body makeover.

I must tell you that I feel phenomenal physically. I haven't felt this good in a long time. The allergies are better even with High pollen count.

You all know how much I hate to exercize.... I really do. But I will tell you, as a means for emotional release - this is not a bad way to go. and the nice byproducts are you sleep well AND you look good!

And I am down ANOTHER pound!

Yay ME!
