I hit a wall . . .

Well, after exercising for over 4 straight weeks now, I've hit a wall. I've been really good about it, 5 days a week, sometimes 3 times a day, and I've cut back on calorie intake too. So I decided to weigh myself yesterday. Big mistake! Not much of a difference. I was very disappointed. My husband tried to cheer me up by telling me I'm building muscle mass and toning up. That helped a little. I think the worst thing, though, was trying on shorts and capri's that I've been trying to fit back into, and they still don't fit. And to make it a double whammy, I think the little bit of weight I did lose came from my bustline! Not good for a person who is bustline challenged! My sister told me that's the first thing to go. So what am I going to do with that wall? Hopefully I'll decide to climb right over it and keep going.

Earworms

Sounds like some kind of sick parasite, right? No, it's what Stephen King refers to as those songs that just get stuck in your head and you can't get them out. I read an article that he wrote about this in Entertainment Weekly, which I found to be pretty funny. Actually, the more articles of his that I read, the more I think that he and I are alike (scary, huh?). His earworm happened to be that Free Credit Report.com commercial where the guy is dressed as a pirate. I don't think that is too bad because I think those commercials are funny. My earworm is a little more irritating because I don't really understand the song! I don't listen to the radio that often, but when I do, this song always seems to be on! It is "Human" by The Killers. I hear it as I go to sleep. I hear it when I wake up in the morning. I hear it when I'm in the car with the stereo off! At first I liked it. But it's one of those songs that as you hum along and start thinking about the lyrics, you think, "What the heck does that mean?" "Are we human, or are we dancer?" It makes me crazy! I think what gets me the most is that the word dancer doesn't have an "s" at the end. Oh well, maybe it could be considered a step up from "Fruit Salad, Yummy Yummy" by the Wiggles that would go through my head for months a few years ago. Oh great, I think I just triggered something by typing the name of that song . . . .
Anyways, to the few of you who read this, what have been some of those earworms that irritate you? Maybe if I try singing the lyrics to them I'll be able to get rid of mine.
