I'm on the last week of Fitness Challenge #2, which is giving even emphasis on cardio and strength. I'm still 5+ pounds lighter than when I started, and while I'm glad that I took the break (starting diviating from the plan from attrition) it's time to start making more progress before I get discouraged. Nothing sucks more than not eating what you want and exercising regularly and still not losing weight.Like Eric, the cold also makes me want to hiberate. Can't I just eat more starch-laden foods and curl on the couch with a blanket?  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" />  I try to get my exercise in to an interesting radio program b/c boredom is the biggest killer of exercise initiatives for me. I haven't gotten an MP3 player or IPOD, so right now, I'm getting exercise in during All Things Considered, just about the only NPR news show that plays on my local radio stations and  doesn't require me being in close proximity to my computer in order to listen.I also got an alternate cardio plan to keep things interesting. I started learning belly dancing, and it's a nice break from the elliptical machine.Awesome! When I ran, I never cared to run more than 2 miles at a time and that was at my top physical fitness. Did you run cross country in school by any chance?</blockquote>
