"What's a Gym?? Oh...a GYM!!"

I truly am spoiled here at the Sippy's house. Not only is there amazing food and that Mrs. Sippy bakes wedding cakes for a living, but they have a theater room upstairs which includes a mini fridge full of soda, and a shelf stocked up with all sorts of candy like Swedish Fish, Laffy Taffy, assorted candy bars and licorice. It has overwhelmingly comfortable furniture and dim lights perfect for taking naps, AND it's quiet with a nice chess/checkers table to do homework, so I spend a lot of time up there with all the parties and naps I take. I've also discovered that the more time I spend up there, mysteriously the more candy is missing, and what is more inexplicable is that I've gained about five pounds since I've moved in!! One would assume those are all connected, but I'd deny...but also admit I'm a liar.

No matter where the "pudge" has come from...I want it to go away; it's most distasteful (although it wasn't to gain it. ;)). Now I've been around the block a time or two before, and I don't want to go down some certain alleys and short cuts again, so I'm trying to go down a different route: EXERCISE. The problem is, I've never been the athletic type; I'm a watcher/appreciator rather than a doer/player..."so now what's the procedure?"

You could say that I'm as "edumacated" as Homer Simpson, for I've never stepped into a "gym" (Pronounced like 'guy' with an 'm' at the end) and don't know anything about them, except you exercise there...and that's what I'm looking for. :D

Momma Sippy is far more dedicated to her work outs by going five days a week with her membership...and so I thought I could go with her so I'm not totally out of place. Well, I'd need a membership, and it just so happens that her son, my best friend, Adam just left on his mission to the Marshall Islands in April and he didn't cancel his, and is still being charged for his account every month, and they can have someone replace him or pay a fee of $75 and show them his papers that he is really gone. Momma Sippy took me in there and we worked it out that I'd have membership from Adam's old account for the summer, and then when school starts, she'd cancel it. Don't you just love win-win situations? (Mrs. Sippy saves the day again...)

In all, I am overly spoiled here at the Sippy's with my very "cush-cush" life style of packing on the pounds and then taking them off just as easily. Poor me...I have to endure so much strive. *dramatic sigh* No, but really, I'm so very grateful for all that Momma Sippy does for me and that I've been given the opportunity to be a part of her family. I'll also be letting you all know how my "Biggest Loser" summer with Mrs. Sippy is going. Wish me the best of luck!
