My NJ Board Contribution - Random Musings

So, my man Timmy Ray challenged us to post here once a day. But, since HE'S already having a problem living up to that, I'm gonna go with my friend Angela's take on it and commit to posting once a week. (Hell, it's better than I was doing before.) Here we go Get ready, I'm the King of Non-Sequitors: ? There's been a lot of pushing lately for both Ocean County Support Group meetings (Toms River & Lakewood). I say, pay attention to these posts. If at all possible, check one out - I doubt you'll be disappointed. Look at me - do I look like the "going-to-a-support-group" type of guy? Thought not. But I look forward to going to the Toms River meeting every month. Those people Kick A$$. ? Yesterday, for the first time in over 10 years, I bought jeans at a place OTHER THAN Casual Male Big & Tall. Holy Crap - I spent only 15 bucks at Target for 'em! Used to be, I'd fork over $55 for a "Big & Tall" pair of Levi's. Man, need a couple of inches more of fabric and you really take it on the *****s). ? I was disappointed in the final episode of the Sopranos and not all that thrilled that the Mets lost 2 out of 3 to that cheater Barry Bonds and the Giants. ? For those who care, Deidre & I worked Timmy pretty hard at the gym on Saturday morning - and he was back for more with me at 5:30 am today. Not bad Tim - not bad at all. ? I've become a big proponent of a few different things to help me along this journey. Zen Mindfulness, Flax Seeds, Almonds, Oolong Tea and Compression Clothing. I invite everyone to check 'em out and see if you think they can work for you. If you'd like my take on any of these subjects - just drop me a line. Okay, enough of my yakkin'. Just looking to contribute. Have a great week -A.J.

AJ: I posted Saturday, so this is technically a new week for me. 1. You look like a support group type of *girl* lol. You want fries with that chef salad? 2. I agree on the Sopranos thoughts...I was underwhelmed by the episode. 3. Compression clothing, I need to talk to you about that. Arms? Anything? Also, I need something for my waist with eyehooks....long story. 4. Have a great day! A

Oh... Har-Dee-Har-Har. You know, that wasn't the first time that I've been mistaken for a member of the opposite sex. Come to think of it, I probably could have gotten that waiter's number - if I were so inclined............. But, I'm not. And, look! - I'm posting multiple times in the same week. I figure that once a week should be the MINIMUM for required posting. Everything else is gravy. Mmmmmm...... Gravy. OK, compression clothes. Sports Authority in Brick carries Under Armour for women. They've got long sleeve & short sleeve tops, full & 3/4 length bottoms, and an array of stretchy unmentionables. Don't ask how I know all this. Make sure you get the compression style because UnderArmour makes regular and loose fitting lines of stuff also. I buy one size smaller than the sizing charts and everything fits like a second skin. I wear it when I go to sleep and when I'm at the gym. I've read and heard that this is beneficial, though I don't know if there's any conclusive evidence that this actually helps with the skin sag - But it feels nice, so, what the heck. So, there ya go. Have a lovely day. -A.J.

Hey A.J. Its karen we met at the support group last week. i just wanted to say congrats to your new denim, thats awesome. and as for the sopranos. I WAS TOTALLY DISAPPOINTED !!!! SEE U NEXT MONTH. AGAIN CONGRATS

Hi Karen, It was cool that you joined all of us last week. Driving all the way down from Roselle... now, that's dedication. If I had to drive more than the 5 or 6 minutes it takes me to get to the meeting........ I'd probably still show up. See you in July -A.J.

Hey AJ - I'd be happy to kick your A$$ any ole time! Sorry I missed the Saturday workout at the gym - but the bridal gown fitting was calling me, then I hurt my knee Saturday afternoon and spent the rest of the weekend with my leg in the air (don't go there!) and ice on it! Congrats on the cheap jeans -- you get to have more clothes in the closet now that they are less expensive -- at least that's my explanation and I'm sticking to it! Both the Sopranos and the Big Love finales were less than impressive!!!! Have a great week babe. Hugs, Nannette

Hi Couldn't help responding to your random thoughts. Here are few of my own: Sopranos was disappointing it's entire BRIEF season the only highlight was Big Love Buying clothes cheaply will be a thrill - Good bye Lane Bryant!! Compression Clothing -- I am intrigued?

Hey- Just wanted to add my two sense in- I did get a pair of shorts at KMart- I consider them compression type they hold everything in- my husband says they are made out of wetsuit material - whatever that material is- anyway they were pretty cheap- love that KMart- go there at least 2x a week to but cheap clothes after my workouts- dee
