Dear Tiffany & Earl,

Huge dilemma. I've been counting down the days until spring break on Daytona Beach. The semester is picking up fairly quickly and I'm having trouble balancing studies, my job at the Electric Beach, Grey's, and my cardio/butts and guts routine. I want to lose a few pounds and tone up to look my hottest for all the meaty guys out there on spring break. Is there any last minute advice you could give me on physical training and the preparation of my downstairs mix-up? Loved the Old Greg video on YouTube.com featured last week.

I Heart you,
Spring-Breaker Girl '08

Dear Girl,

I hate getting ready to go to the gym. I hate being at the gym, and I hate being sweaty, and then leaving the gym. Thus, I avoid the gym as much as I can. So, whatever advice I send your way please remember my disdain for the gym and the act of getting in shape.

But first, fitting all that you want to do in a 24-hour period can often seem very overwhelming. Try making a to-do list, listing all the tasks you wish to accomplish each day from most important to least important. If going to the gym during this time of year is top priority, then pencil it in, but realize that other areas will have to suffer.

Now, for your quest to loose a few pounds for spring break. It may seem like a great idea and a quick fix for the bikini you recently purchased, but if you're going to loose weight try to do it the right way. Instead of exercising excessively try to eat better foods. Think about substituting that bag of Baked Lays you enjoy during Grey's for an apple or yogurt.

I'd also like to note that though this is a "huge dilemma" in your life, things could be much worse. The next time you find yourself in a particularly stressful situation, try to consider all the terrible things that are happening to other people. And recognize that your superficial crisis about spring break isn't even a blip on the radar of dilemmas. So take a deep breath and be thankful for the body you do have-and the fact that you can even go on spring break.
