Would you like to marry me? (And if you like you can buy the ring)

And after all that, it is in fact Friday, home of IFAMAQD.
I know after last week's Friday Issues, some of you may be hesitant. However, I assure you that anybody with unanswered questions received a full refund and a complimentary meal at our world-reknown Oyster Bar. So step right up!

In the words of Olivia Newton John: Have you ever been mellow?

We'd have to live in some state that's a combination of Utah and Massachusetts, to get married, I being a married man. Is there such a state?

[9thmoon.livejournal.com]

Libertopia.

Fate or free will?

In the words of 'Weird' Al, I'll be mellow when I'm dead.

I'd actually like the free will entree, with a side dish of fate, and bacon cheesy fries as an appetizer. And a vanilla Coke, with a little maraschino cherry in it.

You are now my first official guest answerer. Welcome to history. (:

[9thmoon.livejournal.com]

You know me, always butting in!

[cyranocyrano.livejournal.com]

And you know that I have no objections to your butting.

What's your routine at the gym, now that you are newly returned? :-)

[cyranocyrano.livejournal.com]

Currently on the same routine--20 or 25 minutes of elliptical, 10 to 15 minutes of weights and then another 20 of elliptical.
They had all these flyers last night advertizing five 25 minutes sessions with a personal trainer for only $100, which I may take advantage of if I can manage to schedule it. (I'll check the budget after taxes/bills/rent/whatnot get paid.)

[cyranocyrano.livejournal.com]

erm. The whole purpose behind mentioning the trainer is that se may suggest an entirely different program.

[ambar.livejournal.com]

If your goal is fat loss, there's a fair bit of evidence suggesting that some kind of interval will be more effective (and take less time!) than the steady-state cardio (I'm assuming that's what you're doing on the elliptical).

If I change my phone number, how long until my mother figures out the new number? (I rarely call)

[cyranocyrano.livejournal.com]

It probably depends on how many hints you give her, and if she's on good terms with anybody else who knows the new number.
You don't call often--does she?

[cyranocyrano.livejournal.com]

So, like, ten minutes of cardio, then five of weights, ten, five, ten, five, ten? Something like that?

[cyranocyrano.livejournal.com]

Oh, there's a link with an article. I'll go look!

[ambar.livejournal.com]

Yeah, more like 5 minutes on the elliptical as a warmup, then weights, then 20m on the elliptical (after which, if you are like me, you will need a friend with a bucket to carry you home. But it strips the fat off like nothing else.)

Constantly. Usually to tell me the weather in Town To the East or Denver, wherever I happen to be, because I obviously don't know.
