pensnestMy head is abuzz with fairies at the moment. Another rehearsal which ended quite well, though really, it would be nice if grown men and women could *refrain from talking* when they have to move around. Gah.
I've also been spending quite a bit of time at the pot shop lately, painting mugs. This is good for me, and so far, going well. If anyone would like a mug done ready to be handed over at Camp Sparkle, let me know. Oh, and any USAians planning to visit for Camp Sparkle—keep an eye on the exchange rate! Pounds are very cheap at the moment. Very cheap indeed!
Beast and I continue to frequent the gym. I am getting better at the Body Jam routines (though I cannot to a jump/roll/thingy to save my life). Have excellent new dance shoes which resemble sneakers but weigh about a quarter as much and are neater and smaller. Use these for abs class as well as Body Jam, it helps a little when we are holding our legs in the air for hours... that woman is a sadist. But I have quite strong abdominal muscles now. It's a pity, really, that they are concealed behind quite so much pudge. And, greatly to my annoyance, I now seem to weigh exactly what I weighed when we started going to the gym! *grumps*
Anyway. I have a question, in three parts, and would be most grateful for clarification.
On a map of the USA (Florida, to be specific) what is the difference between
- a road marked with the number in white on a blue shield with a red top and white outline
- a road marked with the number in black on a white wiggly shield shape with a black outline,
- a road marked with a black number on a white oval outlined in black?

And as for Weighing Just The Same, you must remember that muscle weighs more than fat. So if you're stronger, then you're actually smaller than you were when you started! :D

Not that they can actually get me from supine to sitting up, but they've definitely improved. But having lost a couple of kilos in the initial phase, it's irritating to end up back where I started, and my diabetes doctor will frown, again.
