Work is great, the wedding is coming along, and I love my house. On that last note, we did a<em> phenomenal<\/em> job of getting everything moved into the house. Thanks to the help of a handful of incredibly dedicated family members, we got everything we own moved in in just two days. Of course, anything that isn&#8217;t furniture is still stuffed away in boxes (aside from the Wii), but I think that the wife-to-be and I are going to have a lot of fun getting everything unpacked. I enjoyed the process of getting all my crap boxed away, so I can only imagine that getting it back out is going to be just as fun, if not more.<\/p>\n<p>The only facet of my life that isn&#8217;t perfect right now is my weight, and considering how everything else is working out, I really shouldn&#8217;t be complaining about it. But my health is important!<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not really that I&#8217;m terribly unhealthy. I&#8217;m in fairly good shape for someone with a gut the size of mine, and it&#8217;s that gut specifically that&#8217;s the problem. Try as I might, I just cannot drop the weight. I&#8217;ve been doing really good lately too! I&#8217;ve slowed my sugar intake significantly, and have been making a solid effort at getting more fruit and veggies into my diet.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been getting regular exercise too, which I hear is important. I walk up and down four floors worth of stairs several times a day, and walk back and forth three blocks to and from my bus stop. I try to go out for a walk two or three times a week, as long as the weather is decent. I&#8217;ve even been spending about half an hour a day playing <strong>Just Dance 3<\/strong>, at least five days a week. It works up quite a sweat, and it&#8217;s the closest thing I&#8217;ve found yet to a truly fun way to exercise.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.torrentialequilibrium.net\/images\/deskegg.JPG\" alt=\"\" width=\"448\" height=\"336\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a barely visible Cadbury Creme Egg under my monitor stand at work, and it&#8217;s been there for almost a month now. There was a time, not too long ago, where that thing wouldn&#8217;t have even lasted a day. But it&#8217;s there. Partly as a testament to self-control, and partly because I&#8217;m often too busy to remember it&#8217;s there.<\/p>\n<p>All of this effort is for naught though, because since the last time I weighed myself I have actually <em>put on<\/em> weight. And it&#8217;s not muscle either, because I&#8217;ve just been doing cardio and aerobics as far as exercise goes. Sometimes I play with the 10-pound dumbbells, but not in any way that would build any serious muscle mass. So I don&#8217;t know what to do. Maybe the fat is just waiting to drop off after a while, but I&#8217;ve been doing this thing for well over a month now. I would like to see at least some small results.<\/p>\n<p>And all this work because 70% of my wardrobe looks awful when stretched around my belly. I don&#8217;t even care about being trim for the wedding; I just want to be able to wear my Goonies t-shirt without being embarrassed.<\/p>\n<p>\/venting<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Things are going swimmingly for me right now.
