BREAKING FAT NEWS

I'm posting.  I know that one of my readers will be VERY excited.  Wait, I only have one reader...  Awkward...

Well, as usual, too much good news has jinxed me.  My PR on treadmill somehow lead to a setback in the desire to exercise category. I cannot get up in the morning anymore to go to the gym. I have tried every trick, but the extreme darkness after daylight savings time really makes it deeply difficult to rouse. (excuse)  Then, I try to go to the gym after work but it seems like something better always comes up -- shocker!  (excuse) Then, there was the pressure of the 500 mile group...  I felt like I couldn't spend time on my beloved elliptical because it was taking away time from the dreadmill.  Consequently, it was the same old same old and a lot of dread associated with going to the gym.  (pretty much another excuse)  So, exercise has not been the priority that I want it to become...

Until...   My "best friend at work" (work joke) decided to start walking on her lunch break and has thus encouraged me to do so as well.  We crank out a mile in about 20 minutes or so, which isn't great time but not bad considering our schnazzy clothes and our constant chatter.   And hell, I'm walking a mile even if I am doing nothing else at all -- which is still pretty friggin' good.  That means that I'm going to be getting in at least 4 miles a week, which is way better than I was doing.

So, now I gotta be honest about my diet.  Get THAT together.  But, Lord -- where to begin?  As if I didn't know...

Here's the thing that's funny -- my weight has continued to stay exactly the same.  Not up, not down -- just the same.  If only I could be happy being this fat, I could TOTALLY maintain this easy.  I got my hair cut short recently and people even thought I lost weight -- hilarious!  Here's my latest weight loss tip -- grow your hair out a bit, then cut pretty short, repeat.  

That's all I got for now.  I'll write again when the mood strikes...
