Bouncy Conspiracy

OK...since this cold has really put me down for a while (won't even be able to return to work for a couple more days, much less the gym), I thought it would be a good time to catch you up on some back story: my theory on bounciness (yes, I have a whole theory and have put a lot of thought into it. There are 2 kinds of bouncy: bouncy personality (which I readily admit to having) and bouncy body (never have been). A person should be one or the other, NOT both. If you are bouncy in both, you are then "over-hyper/over-happy" and I just want to slap you (think Richard Simmons), because being around you just makes me tired. With all due respect to those people (I am finding myself surrounded by them more and more), could you just tone it down a notch or two???

Now having said that, at my current weight/health, I worry about what bouncing will do to my knees. I do not have bad knees, and want to keep it that way. I am trying to be smart about this whole getting in shape thing. I don't want to cause an injury that will knock me out for a time because once momentum is in play, you don't want to break it. Miss one workout and it becomes easier to miss two...miss two and it is easy to say "oh, I'll get back to it next week". Before you know it, you are back to your old habits that got you so out of shape to start with. This is why being sick now is SO driving me crazy. I NEED MY GYM TIME!!!!!

I explained my whole "Bouncy Theory" to Chance when I first joined the gym. It amused him to the point that he now rates the classes on a Bouncy Scale (I love warping young minds). A few days later, he tells me, "One of my personal goals is to see you bounce." The Great Bouncy Conspiracy was born, and the universe has since conspired with him. I don't know how Chance has done it, but he has got all my friends on his side, friends he has never even met. Facebook friends are posting pictures of Tigger and trampolines on my wall. My niece and nephew invited me over to a picnic on the trampoline. It has become a HUGE thing. I realize that I am probably fighting a losing battle. As I get in better shape, I will have an urge to bounce, but don't tell Chance I said so. I am having too much fun with this. I will go down fighting. I promise, when I get there, I will try to tone it down when I'm around other people. Does anyone know if Richard is making any more videos that I could star in??
