This is Calypso.
I'm also happy to add that I finally started working out. I started with a half hour of yoga yesterday and I made it through 25 minutes of the DVD. Today I'll add and aerobic workout first and do the yoga afterwards. I hope I can make it. It's crazy how out of shape you can get when you don't work out for a few months.
On a lighter note, as promised, here is a review of the Self Drafted Jumpsuit I made.

Pattern Description:
one piece strapless jumpsuit
Pattern Sizing:
12
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Self drafted pattern
Were the instructions easy to follow?
I winged this one all the way, and love the outcome. Man do I love my serger. It makes things so much easier and faster to finish.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I put this jumpsuit together in about 2 hours.
Fabric Used:
Cotton or polyester jersey knit. Not really sure. I'm starting to think it's more of a polyester knit. I picked the fabric up at Walmart for a $1.50 a yard. That price alone has me smiling.
Pattern Alterations or any design changes you made:
I didn't want an elastic casing to show at the top of the band so I stitched the elastic and tricot to the edge of the fabric at the top of the bodice. The band is then folded down and the tricot is in place hiding any inside work.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Definitely. I think I want one in red now.
Conclusion:
It was a wonderful idea that stemmed from a picture of a well known celebrity. The concept is pretty easy. Make a tube top making sure to place darts in the front and back of the bodice to get a more fitted look.
If you have a TNT pants pattern you like with a wide leg, use it. The sky is the limit.
