Exercise Quandry

No, this isn't the usual type of exercise quandry about the size of my thighs or anything like that... this is a real quandry. Quick, without resorting to the internet or a cookbook, name a food that starts with the letter 'x' without cheating and saying 'xmas cookies ( Read more... )

Xanthan Gum
Xantus and Xeme (those are both birds and great scrabble words) Ox or fox if you just wanted to get past the letter.

There are waterproof skins for your ipod if you'd rather listen to a book. I use a knitting row counter to count my laps. I'm sure there are far fancier things but they are cheap and only have plastic parts so it doesn't matter if they get wet.

Umm... what the heck IS xanthan gum?

I need a food that starts with X that I can _remember_ after swimming up and down the pool 24 times.

Well, I can be motivated about anything for a month or so. The true test will be if I"m still motivated at the end of February. But even so, exercising for a month is better than none at all. Plus I have a couple of friends who are members, so hopefully we can motivate each other to go semi-regularly.
