Back in the Saddle

I was doing pretty well - I was swimming, biking and "running."

Then law school got in the way - there's a little thing called finals that took me off track. Then we went to New York where I ate everything in sight. And believe me, I saw a lot of food. Slowly, I've been trying to be better, but nothing's sticking. I am now almost as fat as I have ever been. So it's time to get serious.

That's why I've started Nutrisystem. Today was my first day, and I'm feeling like this is something that's possible. It will take some work, but nothing good comes without work. Plus, if I fail to plan, then I'm planning to fail.

Besides, I get to drink unlimited diet coke. I know it's not super healthy, but give me a break. One vice at a time. First I'll get the food thing under control. Then I'll work on drinking less caffeine and fake sugar.

I rode my bike to school today - that's about 30 minutes each way. Then when I got home, I went to step aerobics. The aerobics class killed me. The teacher was ok - his strategy was basically to speed up the music so fast that he didn't have to worry about coreography. It is usually a strategy that I hate. But this time I'm so out of shape and it's been so long since I've done step that I didn't mind so much that we were stuck doing basics. I was so dead at the end that I couldn't keep up. He kept speeding up the music and I couldn't take it anymore. Also, I liked how he warmed us up, then went right into a crazy hard ab workout. Then we got into the cardio, and we went hard til the end of the hour.

There's no new before pictures, because I basically look the same still.

Weight this morning was 188. Gross.

Wish me luck.
