I'm curious as to what I'm supposed to look like, but it's not loading... is another of your "hey, ladies, here's a picture of Geddy with his pants off!" things, Sheldon? :P

Mika, I've been reading this thread and saw your "then" and "now" picture. I must say that either way you look mighty fine. Don't worry about how you look - think about being healthy and feeling great inside out. Then the rest will follow. If Geddy's anything like me, he will notice a happy smiling face before anything else.

 

Thanks for your nice words!

 

And please, understand that I'm not being superficial. Or I'm not trying to be, anyway. I simply understand that I'm at a lower level of health right now, as indicated by my tighter clothes, especially around my tummy area, and as a result of a lower physical activity level and poorer eating habits. I'm not trying to lose weight, and I don't want to look good for anyone. I want to improve my health habits, which will automatically show up on the outside. Health is from the inside out, after all. And I actually have little interest in trying to get Geddy's attention with the way I look, in all truth. And if he did respond to me in just a physical sense, I wouldn't have such a high level of respect for him, or at least of what I think I know of him. I'm much more interested in attracting someone through a liking of my personality than from my bum looking cute in a dress, or whatever.

 

The whole Geddy goal is to improve my health to a point that I will be more comfortable in my own skin, that I will sit (well, actually, I won't be sitting...) without having a bit of tummy pooch out and flail my arms around in a rock concert-y way without having them jiggle. I like having goals to drive me, and this is a good goal! Having a good reason to amp up my taking care of myself.

 

And not to sound cheesy, but I think that a way to tell how someone feels about oneself, if one loves oneself, is through how the person takes care of oneself. If someone stuffs himself full of crap food every day, doesn't exercise at all, and bemoans that he's fat and lazy, he's not really loving himself. If he makes a good effort to fuel his body with healthy food, and moves around every day, and feels good about being well... it's a big difference between the two examples. I want to be good to my body, and I want to treat it well, and it will in turn treat me well.

 

Ok, it's 2am, I've just got home from 14 hours at work... it's too late for me to try to talk about this stuff! :S

Okay, Mika, time for my response :)

 

I am sorry if I made you appear superficial, which wasn't my intent at all. I think that we agree on this subject and my reason to write as I did is that many feel pressure to look a certain way. In Denmark you can see advertisements on buses to buy new breasts, with pictures of silicone breasts. Billboards showing naked thin women with big breats flipping you off. I do not feel any pressure to live up to some unrealistic ideals, but I feel sorry for the young girls and women who may suffer from it. In the midst of all that we have in my country a debate about breastfeeding in public! It can get people to the barricades, but people who have sex in front of the camera in prime time, is getting drunk and acting like idiots, are role models for young kids. I think you have the same, Jersey Shore if I'm not mistaken? It's just one of those things I feel is fundamentally wrong, so I'm glad you take that stand you do, even though I don't know you.

 

I believe you're right about a healthy mind gives a foundation for a healthy body. If one loves oneself, one takes care of oneself. No question about that. Like I too don't know Geddy (would be awesome if I did) I'm confident that he too is not shallow. We can't know for sure but he doesn't seem that way, and no we as fans probably wouldn't like him (Alex and Neil included) as much if we sensed they're total pricks.

 

Other than that, hope it goes well with the training. Up and at 'em :dweez: :chickendance: ;)

Ugh, superficiality. I've heard of Jersey Shore, but haven't watched it at all - I don't have any tv channels - and never will, from what I hear. A little while back I was talking to a casual friend, who started talking about this episode she watched (and how she was looking forward to the next one) and I'm sorry to say that my opinion of her kind of changed a bit... I didn't think she was a type to watch something like that, but who am I to judge, really! It's not my business to judge what others watch, but I can't help but think it displays a bit of their character... I dunno. And I'm sure someone else would totally judge me for having a folder on my computer labelled 'pictures of Geddy's butt' (which I don't, actually - I think it's labelled with different words ;)).

 

But there really is too much happening in society that encourages girls (and guys, too) to present themselves 'face-first', as it were - that looks are important. What I find attractive, these days, in the looks department, is if a person looks healthy. A guy (or girl) that takes care of himself is automatically attractive regardless of actual physical attractiveness. And someone that looks after himself is (in my opinion) more likely to possess other qualities that I find attractive, such as having respect for others, being responsible, and having integrity. Not always, not as a rule, but generally, somewhat. And going on a tangent here, but it's the same thing with how I find other people treat animals - if they behave disrespectfully towards animals, by swatting or kicking them out of the way or call them names because "they can't understand anyway", I'm probably not going to find much attraction for these people.

 

I think the theme here is respect: respect for oneself, which often translates to respect for others. I think that those that respect themselves through taking care of themselves are going to have more room in themselves to be respectful of others and be basically good citizens. Does this make sense? If someone is treating himself badly, through being lazy and eating crappy food that perpetuates the laziness, there's not much space or energy to be able to spread good energy, in a way. Gah, why do I always try to go into the deeper things in the wee hours of the morning....

 

I'm going to use our dear old Geddy as an example here, since some of us are quite fond of him. He has a reputation of taking care of himself, whether partly because of having to because of the strains of singing at concerts, or because of his own personal integrity; he is apparently known to avoid foods that can interfere with his singing and to work out and keep himself in shape. He doesn't seem to be interested in destroying his body through bad food or substance abuse. I respect that he seems to want to take care of himself. Of course, being that I don't personally know him, this is supposition.

 

Geddy also seems to have an easy-going nature, with a certain amount of grace. I've never known of him to display poor behaviour or be violent or disrespectful; in fact, a bit of a joke is how respectful the Rush boys have been, in terms of not getting involved in aspects of the rock-star lifestyle, like groupies and drugs and stuff. Geddy has always appeared to me as being laid-back, pleasant, respectful, down-to-earth, and with a very witty, funny side, but with humour that is at no one's expense but his own. Self-deprication is humbling, and refreshing to see in anyone that has been in such a public job for such a long time.

 

So, Geddy possess all these attractive qualities, and this alone makes him an attractive person, to me. And I think he wouldn't be able to be so mildly charismatic (and not mildy as in 'just a little bit', but mildly as in not 'in your face') if he wasn't satisfied with the level of respect he was showing to himself. If he ate horribly and messed around with drugs, would he still be such a charming, kind soul that was confident in himself?

 

I happened to come across what is now one of my favourite quotes, scrawled on a bathroom wall :

"Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony", by Gandhi.

 

Well, I guess we can go the other route with this quote, too, and argue against what I've been trying to say: if a person is happy with being out of shape, with not taking care of himself, then his harmony is still adding up, as he's not battling against something in himself. In this sense, a person that is not taking care himself can be content, while a person that is not taking care of himself but wants to can be discontent. But I believe that if someone is not taking care of himself, there's an underlying unhappiness or discontent, whether it's noticed and regarded or not. I think a being strives to be as best as it can be, and this is done best through being healthy, and not being healthy will inevitably get in the way of being all one can be.

 

Ok, I've had fun trying to express my somewhat jumbled thoughts, but is anyone going to have fun reading this? :S Time for bed, methinks!

Ok so I see that people haven't really been posting in here but wanted to see how everybody was doing "Getting Ready for Geddy."

 

I'm not doing so well personally. I've gained more weight and have been yo-yo-ing but not making much progress.

 

Soooooooo I've decided that I am going to be juicing for Geddy!

 

I just printed out the 15 day 'reboot' and it was free. I'm going grocery shopping tonight (or tomorrow) and I think I will be starting on Wednesday, which is my next day off.

 

When I last saw Geddy I was wearing a short white dress and in Spanx, well, it was my first time ever wearing that brand of Spanx and I sat there in the first row in front of him and Alex and couldn't stop fidgeting with my skirt and my Spanx because they kept riding up my legs. I'm pretty sure the guys got the impression I was on meth or something.

 

Anyway...

 

Last time I saw them in concert I was wearing size 6 skinnies. They were a bit on the snug side. Now I won't even say what size I am in. At this point I'd be happy just to wear the skinnies I wore last year on my "Rushmoon". So that is the goal ladies! Size 6 skinnies again!

I got a Nutribullet last week and love it. I can easily replace two meals with it.

My goto right now is to use an 11 oz protein shake from Premier Protein. It has 30 grams of protein, 160 calories, and 1 gram of sugar. I add a banana, 10 blackberries, 10 red seedless grapes, and about 25 blueberries. I've also made them with less fruit but add kale, or baby spinach leaves, or mixed greens. I could probably use only 1/2 banana and substitute the kale or spinach.

 

Anyway, the shakes are really good. I mean, when your base is a good tasting vanilla protein shake, and then you are adding fruit, it's gonna be good. Even with kale and spinach, you don't really taste them. They get pulverized in the blending.

Yeah I'll be blending coconut, spinach, banana, and blueberry in a couple of days. Sounds good!

I'm supposed to use water to blend, and I should try it once to see how it is. The reason I use the shake is so I can get that 30 grams of protein in there.

Love adding greens to smoothies. I've been adding lots of weeds lately, like alfalfa, chickweed, and lambsquarters, since they just happen to grow in abundance around here, are free, and are nutritionally-dense. It's true - if you start with a great-tasting base, like bananas, french-vanilla yogurt, yummy protein powder, whatever, this overrides the flavour of the greens! And these smoothies are such a lovely green colour, too. I like green. In fact, I have a bass that's green. I've never seen one of this green before, and I just had to have it.

My bright, optimistic dreams of getting in shape and everything have kind of ended up in the pooper. I got blindsided by all the dramatic work stuff, and got depressed, and haven't recovered from this yet; I don't feel like getting my butt in gear, which I know isn't the best way to get through everything. I've been kind of mopey and sad and unsure of what my next step is - do I stay at work? Do I get a different job? Do I put up with things that I think aren't really fair? I should have been exorcising my demons by, well, exercising, but when I get stressed and upset I turn to comfort food and doing things that are easy-going. I'm afraid I'm disappointed in myself for being such a slacker, but that's how it is, but not how it ought to be. And I'm damn tired of not being able to separate my paragraphs on this forum anymore. It's really annoying to me as someone that likes to ramble on! .....................................Anyway. I have just a couple of weeks left (?!?!) until the show, and I will be making an effort at this point, if for no other reason than to pick myself off the floor and stop feeling sorry-ish for myself, and get some energy levels back in line. I feel like a fake - I've started this thread with the best intentions in the world, and succumbed to life getting in the way of looking hot for Geddy (though we know it's about more than just looking hot for a guy that's not even going to see me in the crowd, right?). I wish I'd kept up my momentum, and wish this bad stuff hadn't happened. But, as my boyfriend remarked just today about something totally unrelated, "'Should have' and 'could have' don't build bridges." Anyway, onward! :)

My poor Geddy gals! I am really wondering what is going on - feeling depressed, sluggish with little to no energy.

 

Do what you can with the time that is left, but don't beat yourself up if you fall short of your goals.

 

Mika, why don't you try to look for another job on your days off from the one you have? Unless you think things will get better there, maybe it would be best if you just shook the dust from your feet and moved onward.

By the way, what is a Nutribullet?

 

It's something Sheldon likes to sit on...
