Hello readers, this is Dr Whateley posting because... well I'm a tad bored and the Artiste is sleeping. I just wanted to pat myself on the back real quick because I feel a bit spiffy. I don't remember if the normal author mentioned this but we recently invested in some home exersize equipment. We decided to get something really nice and high end because we could afford it (our company has been very recession proof thus far), and I don't believe in messing around when your going to do something like this (like computers, I don't buy top of the line when I get a new one, but I spend a fair amount of money. And because of that they tend to last a bit longer, especially with a few key upgrades along the way).

Anyhoo, I've been at it for 6 or 7 weeks now, and I'm not sure what has happened in terms of inches. But I'm 10 pounds lighter than I was. So huzzah to me :)

People at work keep griping that they need to have more healthy snacks there for purchase. To which I think before I started exersizing more often I did quite a bit to cut back on my bad eating. I switched from soda to tea. My vise is I still have a Sweet Leaf Sweet Tea every day, but for 4oz more it has far less sugar and calories than a can of soda (http://www.sweetleaftea.com/). But if I need more caffiene during the day I just go make some Green Tea. I switched to whole wheat everything, stopped eating red meat pretty much all together. Made an effort to have more salads, with dressings that aren't just liquid fat (I miss ranch a lot). Yeah I tried the whole "if I eat better I won't get fat" diet that people seem to think works. You know what, I still ended up weighing the most I ever have because all I do all day is sit on my butt and look at a computer. Which I think proves something that everybody keeps saying but nobody wants to believe. You don't lose weight by eating better, you need to get off your buttocks and move around a bit. I'm not a sports guy, so I just work out on an eliptical 3 to 4 times a week for an hour or so, while watching Science Fiction and horror movies I get from netflix. Not only is it a nerdy way to work out, but I have lost at least a pound a week doing it, and I haven't changed my diet.

Anyhoo I'm going to go kill zombies in Left 4 Dead now, thanks for listening to me.
