A BEACHED whale. A stuffed turkey. A house. We thought we'd heard all the descriptions possible from those who've called Fitness Quest. But last week we heard from someone who described herself as a ``burrito about ready to explode.''
Thanks to all of you who've exercised your sense of humor when you've signed up for Fitness Quest. You've made it fun. A sense of humor can be one of your most important allies in the quest to adopt a more fit lifestyle.
If you're feeling like a burrito or the whole enchilada and want to pledge a goal or if you'd just like to learn more about exercise and nutrition, call Infoline at 640-5555 and press BFIT (2348). Unfortunately, we cannot return your calls, but hope you find our information and chat lines helpful.
It's not too late to get on board. Fitness Quest runs through December.
Joining Fitness Quest doesn't have to be a lonely undertaking. Families, companies, clubs can sign on.
Fitness Quest members are invited to free exercise classes Tuesdays at 6:30 p.m. at Contemporary Fitness, 306 W. 21st Street, Norfolk. For more information, call Wendy Pirovolos at 622-9469.
Each week 10 callers who pledge their goals are selected at random to receive a ``Go for Fit'' T-shirt.
This week's winners are:
A. Bixler, Chesapeake; A. Burrus, Norfolk; M. Cox, Norfolk; J. Dail, Suffolk; E. Fields, Norfolk; C. Gwartney, Virginia Beach; C. Hancock, Virginia Beach; L. Johnson, Chesapeake; S. Silvasy, Virginia Beach; D. Stoneman, Chesapeake.
