A size smaller

Whatever the heck they name diets these days, if they work, the basic principle is no more sophisticated than either:

a.) you eat less calories than you burn
b.) you burn more calories than you eat

Under a.) you eat healthy crap, no junk stuff, no 'empty calories', tone down the sugar and the fat. Under b.) you exercise, get that heart beating faster to burn up that fat bulging up at the arms, the thighs, the belly, and wherever else they go.

Sounds oh-so-simple but it's so difficult. Giving up desserts would make this world a much gloomier place and getting myself to exercise takes immense will power. I've been wanting to play badminton or go swimming but I need to buy new shuttlecocks and get myself a new pair of goggles (I don't even know when I lost my old one, and it was still in good shape too *sigh*). I've been wanting to go and buy them for the past 3-4 days and never did...uncool.

It's been raining everyday too so swimming is out of the picture, not to mention the fact that the clubhouse added something to the pool which we can't swim in for another week. That leaves the badminton...and people at this place likes to go play. I could go play with them but I don't know - I never was the kind that likes to meet new people, especially when they live so close.

Tentative schedule, Sunday evening KOI and Monday lunch Fuzio...see how this goes.

Discipline, bless me with it.
