Get in Shape Girl!

Do you remember that line of 'toys' for girls from oh, like the late 80's? I can still sing the jingle. "Get in shape girl! You'll the feelin' Get in shape girl! Its so appealin'!"
If you don't remember it, look it up on YouTube. Its great.

Anyway, I no longer need silly marketing schemes to make me feel out of shape, overweight and inadequate. My scale started telling me. And it seems to be a lot louder.

Well my wonderful, supportive, awesome, thoughtful friend Melanie gave me an early birthday gift and I now have a 2 month YMCA membership!

I tried it out for the first time tonight. And while I've got a ways to go, I feel great. And so I guess the commercial was right...I do 'love the feelin!'

Thank you Melanie!!!!!!!

I HAD Get In Shape Girl tapes! I don't remember which ones but I had them and LOVED them.

Wish I still had them.
