Exclusive Interview With Frankenstein

I know Halloween was last week. But, my daughter, Issa and her classmates had an exclusive interview with Frankenstein. School personnel kept the interview top-secret per a gag order from Frankenstein's people. Parents attempted to gain access via our state's Sunshine Laws, but failed. Frankenstein's publicity and security teams cited something about sun light intensity and delicate skin. They didn't fool me. That's Dracula's excuse. Plus, this is Michigan we're talking about. Intense sunlight — especially this year — was not a concern.

On Friday, Frankenstein's people finally relaxed and signed-off to allow select excerpts from the interview to be published. Issa's was one of them. You have can now read the untarnished truth about Frankenstein before the National Enquirer mucks it up.

Work It Out: Procrastination

This morning I had every intention of running on my elliptical. I dressed in my workout gear. Strapped on my shoes and fueled my body. But, upon return from helping my kiddos on the bus, I stopped at the coffee pot. I poured myself a second cup and sat in my writer's chair.

The minutes ticked off the clock. But, as I gazed at my watch, I kept telling myself "just five more minutes". I still had plenty of time to knock out a 20-minute run, hit the shower, and make a meeting at my local Panera. 

As I lingered in my writer's chair, I checked Facebook and e-mail. I noted LOFT was offering an extra 50-percent off on already-reduced merchandise I didn't need. But, I still had to check out the deals. Those precious 20 minutes disappeared at warp-speed.

So, I decided to write a quick post about procrastination. Read it and tell me your tricks for sticking to a fitness program. I had one Facebook friend who gave me idea for sticking with a regular, aggressive fitness program. She suggested keeping a log of my workouts; and that for every 25 I complete I get to purchase something special for myself.
