This week is the “next week” that I’ve been talking about for weeks now. I have been planning to join a gym and start working out for quite some time now, never really thinking that “next week” would ever arrive.

Next week is now.
*Sigh*

To get motivated, I have come up with the following tips and images that are hopefully going to help me get my workout on. If they work for me, they’ll definitely work for you…



1. If it does hang out, let it.



2. Stretch it out, but look good doing it.



3. Rest between sessions.



4. Try to remember which locker is yours.



5. Remember that even the little weights add up.



6. When you DO look in the mirror, try to smile.



7. Eat your carbs.



8. The bigger guys are always happy to spot you.



9. Don’t take anything from little trolls handing out “Power Bars.”



10. When the pull-up bar gets the upper hand…
hang on for dear life.



11. Cool down and relax whenever you get the chance.



12. Don’t forget to work on that mid-section.



13. Drink lots of milk.



14. Don’t make fun of the chicks doing yoga.



15. Breeeeeathe.



16. Eat a piece of fruit.



17. No matter how silly you feel, keep doing it.



18. Check your hair every now and then
or have someone do it for you.



19. Feeling pretty takes a little time.



20. There’s plenty of room in the locker room.
Go ahead and spread out a bit.



21. Try not to accentuate your humps, your humps, your lovely little lumps.



22. The trainers are there to help.



23. Avoid mischievous looking types lurking in corners.



24. You’re going to want to scream. Just do it.



25. Pick up a bite to eat on the way home.

From Boston.com’s The Big Picture:

In its brief lifespan of only 13 days, Hurricane Ike wreaked great deal of havoc. Affecting several countries including Cuba, Haiti, and the United States, Ike is blamed for approximately 114 deaths (74 in Haiti alone), and damages that are still being tallied, with estimates topping $10 billion. Many shoreline communities of Galveston, Texas were wiped from the map by the winds, storm surge and the walls of debris pushed along by Ike - though Galveston was spared the level of disaster it suffered in 1900.

Ike barreled into the densely populated Texas coast near Houston early September 13, 2008, bringing with it a wall of water and ferocious winds and rain that flooded large areas along the Gulf of Mexico and paralyzed the fourth-largest U.S. city.

I just love this shot here–there’s something about the look on the horse’s face, sort of like:

“WHAT? You think this is funny?”

Here’s a great vid of a dog who has decided he wants to take his horse friend out for a little walk. Canine determination combined with equine patience make for a hilarious bit of action. They do get a little tangled up at the end, but it looks the horse doesn’t let it get to him as the human types jump in and take back the reins.

This one’s short, but it’s got some volume and some high-pitched laughing, so don’t turn it up unless you’re plugged in or off work.

How the clever people at Vice Magazine came up with the name for this VBS.TV series is beyond me. They must have sifted through suggestions for hours, paced back and forth during marathon meetings and perhaps even spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on consultant fees.

I actually don’t even want to know how they did it. I just want to watch it.

Ladies and gentlemen–It’s a show. It’s cute. It’s The Cute Show:

This is Pigall.
He lives behind my house.
He sometimes wants to be fed carrots through the window.











If you’ve got a pet that does some snuzzy things now and then,
let me know about it.
