DAYS THIRTY ONE THRU SIXTY

As it turns out, you can't really excercize for only ten minutes a day and lose weight. According to Tony's own advice, you have to eat well and drink less, too. These are non-negotiables for me. I like to eat and drink. So I guess this whole experience was a losing battle to begin with.

The bad news is I weigh as much as I did when I started two months ago. The good news is that there has been an almost imperceptible shift in body fat: a little less flab on the love handles and a little more meat on the shoulders. Still, I'm nowhere near being able to feel confident in a bathing suit. But a lot of the insecurity involved in that issue has to do with the fact that my skin is so white it's practically translucent.

None of this means I've given up, of course. Spring has sprung, so I've returned to the occassional jog around the lake and maybe even a push up or two. My long term goal is to never have to upgrade my waist-size again. I know, it's not that lofty of a goal, but I've learned not to challenge myself too hard.

Exercising sucks.
