Half-way Over the Moon

You don't know me. But let's just say, for the sake of this blog, that you do. If you are reading this blog because the title looked funny and sentimental, I would click off and move on to a more interesting blog. I've never really done this before, and my little sister -Tina- made the name of this blog. I think she might have some sort of fascination with Charlie's because, though she can't remember the password to the blog she created for herself, she named it Mr. Charlie Cupcake. -Now you see what I meant with the whole Charlie thing.

I almost didn't remember why I created this blog in the first place, but then I recalled why:

                       (As Adrian Monk used to say) ~ Here's what happened ~

Tina and I were in our room sitting on her bed, when she brought up the subject of being 'in shape'. - yeah I  know, it's another fascination that she has, getting 'in shape'.- Then she said something that surprised me. "Sannie, you're fat."...ok it might have not been exactly like that, it was more like this: "Sannie, you're fat. But don't worry, so am I! We are what I call skinny-fat" she then went on to tell me how we needed to work out, diet, -while not REALLY dieting- and run a whole lot. Then she came up with this brilliant plan. To have a blog as a sort of...work-out diary. According to Tina and her little bible of obvious truths and facts that 'everybody' knows, if something is on the internet, you're more likely to keep up with your promises and stay vigilant. About a week later she found 'The Running Plan' of course, she thought it was brilliant and wanted to stay true to it...I don't really know how that's been going. A few weeks later, she decided that she wanted to lose twenty pounds so that she could be 90 pounds. My oldest sister made a wise-crack about this and said, "What are you going to do? Amputate a leg?!" You may think she was exaggerating there, but I wouldn't be surprised if Tina's legs weighed 20 pounds each, they are pretty awesome. (She get's them from my Dad) I guess where I'm trying to go with this is...my sister just so happens to be right. I am skinny-fat. And the terrible diet of not-anything-good that I started having since I started taking my really hard Summer-A Art Appreciation class isn't making me get any better at not breathing hard after the first 20 minutes of soccer every saturday. Which by the way I missed last saturday. So here's how it's going to go down, this blog is going to be my --Me staying (or more like getting) fit-slash-This is how my life's going, for my family members who live halfway across the country.--blog. yup don't worry, that's not what I'm going to call it so you don't have to use a series of random-seeming letters to shorten it. We'll just call this My Fish in the Sky. Though I must say when we were going over names,  really did want it to be called Half-way Over the Moon.
