If you updated your progress here, I know there would a ton of people reading it. I mean, look at the over 20 comments you have from people on this one post. And I think if you covered your progress in a fun way, people wouldn't find it boring at all. One reason people blog is to tell others what's going on in their life and how much of that compares to their own lives. It's sort of a "I inspire you and you inspire me" logic.

Those shots are awesome! I love your closeup of the Ferrari horse emblem... and of course, the Ferrari engine... martymankins - I think a weekly check-in is a good idea! Or even just forcing yourself to write about it once a week, like "I finally ran for 20 minutes" or "I'm not sore anymore" blah blah blah. I worry people will think it is too boring if I do it, but here I am suggesting it to you, and I know I would read it... so why wouldn't people read it here?! :D jeanny - I think it will probably be my best bday ever! I could go for some more cake though! Catherine – Are you kidding me? Those shots are awesome! I love your closeup of the Ferrari horse emblem… and of course, the Ferrari engine…

Way to go! And yeah, I figure forcing myself to post something once a week will be motivation enough to make it a regular park of my life again. Plus I need to take advantage of the Bally's membership I've had since April 2007 (and gone maybe 40-50 times since) Wow.. that is awesome, Kim. Way to go!

I think what it amounts to is a touring car show. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/laughingsky/sets/72157606690321048/" rel="nofollow">Here are the pics</a> (they are kinda crappy since my access was not too good :P).

It's important to focus on feeling good and the small, but important progress I (we!) have made. DeAnne - I agree! Maybe we need more than one person like that! martymankins - I can't wait to read your fitness updates! That is kind of what's been occupying my time lately - I've been exercising instead of writing here and reading... SJ - They are a bit squared off. I am more attracted to curvy cars. And THANK YOU for your kind comments. Maybe I shouldn't be so hard on myself :) Gary LaPointe - I was concentrating! Ha ha. I do jump around when I play the guitar though! Sadie - I would have been too - I do it a lot in Chicago when I see nice cars ;) Stephanie - Thanks! Beth - Thanks for your encouragement! I hope it will be sooner too! Catherine - What is the Gumball Run? Why does that sound familiar?!? marissa - We need the silly! It's hard to be serious 100% of the time! Kevin - Thanks for the birthday wishes! I think you and Beth should just go for the dive! You'll be hooked! Courtney Ilax - I can't wait to see your place! Mom's been telling me all about it. Love you! Christina - Nobody brings out the donk in me like you. (That should be written on Valentine's!) *lynne* – It’s hard to be positive when I know I have so far to do – but I am sure you understand!
