Biggest Loser!

My weight fluctuates - when I weighed 100 lbs, I wasn't happy. At 110? Nope. At 150? No no no.
I've battled and dodged, eaten and starved. I love working out - I hate getting there. Okay, so the gym is 5 minutes from my home, but I struggle to get out the door. I go through bursts of working out and getting into shape then I stop. I just stop.
It's a lifelong battle - not a 17 week marathon.
Tara is truly inspiring - not simply because she has lost so much weight, but because she has an incredible drive. Amazing to see her transformation. Will it last? Will she push through and keep the weight off?
I suspect she's just begun the journey I've been on for quite a while now - the same road many of us travel most of our lives.

Zombie Swine Flu Poetry*

Demi Moore had a good point this week - a few hundred cases of swine flu and everyone's wearing masks - how many more cases of HIV/AIDs do we need if over 1 million isn't enough to get people wearing condoms?

Enough about that - on to poetry*:

Zombies sneeze and Zombies cough
But it's no lie
That Zombies never die

You might wander and you might roam
But never hide
Because Zombies smell brains under the dome...


*Tess never claims to be a real poet, she only avoids writing. Any resemblance to an actual poetry is probably a figment of Tess's imagination and propagated by widespread hallucinogenic use by said unpoet and readers alike.
