It's just not worth it

189 - Weight on Dec 31st (after a night of drinking beer and eating wings)
49 - Days since then
45 - Total "workouts" since then
22 - times I've run
86 - miles I've run
10 - times I've lifted
13 - times I've done pushups (since Jan 15)
1489 - total pushups
1500ish - total situps
183 - today's weight
6 - pounds lost

Is all that worth 6 pounds? I don't think so. Could I have run a few more miles? yes. Could I have lifted a few more times? yes. Could I have eaten less pizza and wings and burriitos? no. Could I have drank less than a keg of beer? debatable.

I'm starting to believe this whole exercise thing is a scam. Or maybe I should just finally cut my hair to lose that last 5 pounds.

You've worked your ass off... 86 miles? That's how much I've run in the past 12 months.
Just cut the hair. If I were to do that, I'd probably lose half my weight.

Umm...I wonder what the calorie count on your home brewed beer is?

It's a total scam. Just get a hair cut, and just guess your weight, like I do. Scales are the work of the devil and shouldn't be allowed in the house.

Tim:
Six pounds is a lot!! You shouldn't complain. I've been working out about as much as you and haven't lost six pounds.

You should try my new workout. It's a DVD by Tracy Anderson, Madonna and Gwenyth Paltrow's trainer. HEe hee!! It's a bunch of dance moves and leg lifts. I've already lost a pants size! I'll bet your wife would crack up watching you, so it might be entertaining for her.
