A bit over 2 1/2 weeks into my diet/fitness regimen, and I’ve officially dropped 10 pounds. Things seem to be going better than I’d hoped, especially since I’ve not stuck to either the diet or the workouts absolutely rigidly. Plus, I find lifting weights to be a bit more enjoyable than slogging away on the treadmill was, in spite of the fact that I can’t read while I do it. I do miss nachos, though.
