Yes.  That’s right.  Diets suck.

But…I’ve lost 4.5 pounds.  Oh, yeah!

I hate being on a diet.  I went to the doctor today and after a huge lecture, she put me on blood pressure medication.  Ugghh….35 years old and on blood pressure medication.  This is what being overweight does to people.

I’m still riding my bike, and luckily, no more wrecks.  Honestly, I still have to force myself to exercise.  It seems like such a hassle to load up my bike, drive to the trail, and ride for 5 miles.  I’m literally driving 25 miles just to ride for 5.  That sucks too.  It just seems like it would be easier to have a treadmill so I could do the work at home.  I bet lots of folks try to convince themselves of this, only to end up using it for a clothes rack…but honestly, if I didn’t have to drive so far to exercise, maybe I would do it more often.  I have my heart set on a Bowflex TC5000.

The local gym is offering Zumba classes.  Zumba is an aerobic exercise routine inspired by Latin dance.  It sounds fun enough.  I think I’m going to give it a try.  I’m waiting for an evening class.  Hopefully it won’t be too long.  I have a history of losing interest…quick! 

So, there it is…I hate diets but I have lost weight.  I guess eating right and exercise really does work.  Who knew?  Only 20 more to go.
