I am no longer 282.5. That seems like a lifetime ago. I've worked hard, changed my ways, and it was time.
That's just not me now. Sorry, don't have a current photo to insert--will have to get dolled up and pose one of these days.
So the decision needed to be made, what do I name my blog? There was only one answer, and this blog name has been floating around my brain for months.
The Tortoise.
Slow and steady wins the race. Persevere. Stick with it, keep plugging away. Yup, that's me. Then, of course, there is The FIRM connection.
That's a favorite workout of mine, plus the fact that the categories of FIRM workouts were Tortoise/Hare/Strength/Cardio...it was a no brainer.
I was a bit worried that The Tortoise was negative, picturing a slow and awkward tortoise crawling at a snail's pace. But that's how I get around some days myself. I think it's more positive than negative.
So new year, fresh new start. I am now The Tortoise. I will win.
LOVE IT
ReplyDeleteYeah, good name. I always wondered about number names for blogs. Because at some point that ain't you anymore. Good name.
ReplyDeleteThe number name I came up with was a reminder to myself, and the first year it was very good for me to see it. Plus, I'm not very creative and couldn't come up with a cute, clever name.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Jo! I love the new blog name, because whenever I think of "the Tortoise", I immediately think of how he/she eventually wins the race. You are already succeeding and 2011 will include many more successes.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you and yours....
ReplyDeleteand many many more good ones to come!
Lookit you go, Jo!
