I got on the scale the other day and discoverd that I have put on 20 lbs since getting my neck injury a few months ago.
So I got out my old faithful Everyday With Richard Simmons tape. Say what you will about Tae-Bo, The Firm, Gilad, and all those other fitness videos. I say nothing works as well as Richard's old tape from the 80s.
There I was, exercising away in a determined manner when suddenly the vcr started chomping away at the tape. I removed it from the machine and pieced it together with scotch tape, and then put it back in. But the vcr was irreparably damaged. And the tape is not available in dvd!!
I don't know if you're all aware of this, but it is absolutely impossible to buy a new vcr without buying an expensive and complicated vcr/dvd combo. Fortunately, I found one on sale at Target for $56. Now it's just a matter of going though the trauma of disconnecting the present dvd player and installing the combo in it's place. Then I must dig up my copied back-up of the tape. I don't even want to think about all that could go wrong during those next two hurdles.
On the bright side, at least I now have a dvd player for the bedroom.
Entre, the replacement is very easy, just take ONE wire at a time an put it into the SAME place on the new one. There is ant in--that is where the cable from the wall goes. Next there is out, that is where the wire from the TV goes. The black wire that is attatched to the new player plugs into the outlet in the wall.

*whimper* Noooo, don't make me. Heh heh. Okay, I will try tomorrow morning, right after I have some strong coffee.
I think she is starting to feel better .... just in time for me to catch it ..... and I'm a way bigger baby about things like this then she is .... I'm going to be sicker and need lots more TLC then she did ...
But in the meantime, I have discovered that my constant muscle pain is NOT caused or aggravated by working out on the elliptical trainer. If it was, the pain would have stopped during my period of inactivity, right? So at least I can use the elliptical while I wait for my new Richard Simmons tape to arrive.
And who knows? I may just have the tape converted to DVD. Anything to avoid setting the VCR up.
