Two months later

It's been about two months since I started running regularly again. I usually run three or four mornings per week, shuffling along in my malodorous shoes at a park near my place. And so far, it's really helped improve my mood and some of the chronic aches and pains that had started to bother me a few months back.

But here's the thing. When I gain weight, this is where it usually goes: 1. waist 2. bust 3. hips 4. arms 5. butt 6. thighs and 7. face. More or less. So you'd think that when I lose weight, I'd lose it in that order as well. But no. It works the opposite way. 1. face 2. thighs 3. butt 4. arms 5. hips 6. bust and 7. waist. It's so unfair.

How much weight have I lost in two months? Wait for it. (Drum roll.) I've lost a grand total of two pounds. That's it. Just two pounds. Sigh. Check back in November. I might lose another one pound by then.
