Fit and Fierce by February

(Alteration for you Amanda)

My sister and I have always been very different since we were small children. Let's begin with the physical aspect:

My sister is ridiculously tall, has straight hair, and her legs are soooo buff they were bigger than I was. Let's not forget that she stopped getting asked if she wanted children's menus at restaurants when she was 7. She didn't look old and wrinkly or anything, but I think she was taller than my mother when she was 7.

Me, on the other hand, I am shorter than average, had super curly hair, and my legs were commonly referred to as "chicken legs". I was consistently asked if I wanted a children's menus at restaurants until I was 16. And let's just add that I am still shorter than my mother.

My sister has always been the basketball star of every team that she played on. However, she can only play one song on the piano and that's because she memorized the finger numbers: 354 354 354 3212 135 2 1. I bet she could still play it to this day.

Oppositely, I was very good at keeping the bench warm for the good basketball players, but I can play a mean piano.

So my sister has a goal with a title: "Fit and Fierce by February". Her youngest child will be a year old by then and she wants to be in tip top physical condition by then. Now, I was thinking, that's a great goal! Maybe I should set a goal like that! Then I was thinking, hmm.... February? I don't think so. February will be right before I give birth and let's just say I will be tipping the scales by then. After my 30 seconds of considering that goal, I decided to throw it out.

How much more opposite can we get? Well, we both do have a love of Three's Company.
