call me shallow but ever since i've begun working out and eating [slightly] better, i've noticed a few things...
1) no matter how much you may try to lose weight, it doesn't change your genetics. in other words, there are many people who are fat and ugly, and when/if they lose weight, they will be thin and ugly. i am not one of these people. [thanks mom and dad!]
2) there will always be someone who can kick your ass. they may not look like it, but rest assured, even the cheerleader-looking blonde next to you on the elpitical trainer is a veritable animal. this even applies to those of us built like '59 cadillacs, even though we do most of the ass-kicking.
3) going to the gym five days a week does not negate eating ice cream every night. it's unfortunate. i guess i have to switch to popsicles again.
4) clothes look better on you when you lose the fat. it's true. you feel better, too.
5) seeing your childhood tormentors at the gym with saddlebags and crow's feet gives you a very strange sense of satisfaction. especially when you don't have saddlebags or crow's feet.
6) dads make good personal trainers.
i've got more, but i'll save 'em for a sequel.
and fyi, thanks to everyone who responded to my last journal. i don't think i'm going to take the job right now. if they let me defer, that would be sweet. i'll let you all know.

The picture is of a pulley that was used in my grandfather's auto body shop in Lilburn, Georgia. My grandfather was a notorious packrat. He did not throw away anything. I have the pictures to prove it.
