Serious Dilemma

raefinlayI've reached a turning point. One of those crossroads with far-reaching effects. *deep breath*
Do I:
A) Buy a whole new wardrobe?
or
B) Lose 5-10 lbs?
Arguments for A:
1. I don't mind not being thin. I even like a little softness here and there.
2. Shopping is more fun than exercising.
3. Two words: January Sales
Arguments for B:
1. I'd rather drop several hundred dollars on a writers' conference.
2. It would be good for me to at least look at what I'm eating.
3. I need to exercise for lots of reason, the least of which is staying "thin."
*ponders*
*vacillates*

Date: 2005-01-12 08:18 pm (UTC)Once I get over this cough -- I still hack up a lung any time I try to do any decent amount of physical activity -- I'm going to start yoga-ing again. And I'm not doing it to get thin because, well, I don't need the doctor to yell at me again about being too skinny. I'm doing it because dude, OUT OF SHAPE. D:

:P
You're very skinny. I can't imagine you have to lose any weight. But exercise is a good thing. Lets ignore the health side of it for a second. As a writer of fantasy/sci fi, shouldn't you be reminded of what exertion feels like? Perhaps what is possible and what isn't physically possible? It is sort of like standing in the rain sometimes to know what it feels like to be cold and wet. So I say you get some sort of exercise stuff going...
Plus I get many of my ideas while exercising. I know this sounds crazy, but I'll often be doing some sort of exercise and think, "She stabs him! Yes. That is how she pries the information out of him. That could work...."
:)
And plus I don't want you spending money on clothes. Booorrrrrrriiiinnnnnggg. Much better to come to a writing workshop. BTW...which one are we all aiming for again?
:D
-Later dude

Date: 2005-01-12 09:51 pm (UTC)That's a really good point. I can't remember reading about the fearless hero getting shin splints, or a pulled groin, or tennis elbow... Hmmmm...
And yeah...which workshop are we shooting for now?? *confused*

Date: 2005-01-12 10:27 pm (UTC)Now I'm confused. Are you confused about my question or are we all no longer trying to find a worthwhile writing conference that we can:
a) network
b) geek out by talking about writing in real time

Date: 2005-01-13 12:30 am (UTC)Think simple
Date: 2005-01-13 04:41 am (UTC)- Buy muumuus and baggy pants.
- throw away your scale, and just eat right, exercise and get regular check-ups.

Date: 2005-01-13 10:42 pm (UTC)I have the perfect way for you to look at this question...
Sit back.
Close your eyes.
And try to imagine what Rook Bartely would do in your place...
Then you'll have your answer.
Have fun on your new red cyclone...
