Work that ass.

Since August, I've been on the Atkins Diet. Oh, sorry - the Atkins Nutritional Approach. Well, I'm still on it, and my pants certainly fit better than they look like they did in this picture. People have also told me my face doesn't look as fat. That's a good sign - how about my ass not looking as fat?

Well, I've started doing something about it. I went and did 35 minutes on a bike last night at the gym that's in front of my house. I'm going to *try* to stick with it. The last time I tried, I lost interest after about a month. I've got a little bit more encouragement now, in the form of Nicole. She'll keep me in line ;-)

The real trick for me is not to go whole hog and then burn myself out. Moderation is the key. I only did the bike last night because I haven't done anything else in a while, and I need to start somewhere. Nicole says I need to get on the cross trainer, and I will when I'm ready. I'll be happy with the bike right now. At least the gym has TVs all over the place ;-)
