round is a shape

dominique heard about this thing at work that's sponsored by our state. it's a program to motivate residents to stay in shape. dominique formed a team with some people she works with, and i thought it was a good idea so i agreed to join. evidently, your team competes with other teams in categories like weight loss or exercise hours per week. of course it's all done on the honor code, but i don't think the point is to win. i don't even know if you win anything. i don't care, really. which is unlike me, true, but i just like having the motivator. i don't make new years resolutions and this will give me motivation to work out. plus, it doesn't start until feb 4 so i have a few more days of sloth left. i also had to guess at my current weight since we don't own a scale and i don't know the exact number. so, i figured might as well be generous. i might already be ahead of the game.

our team has 7 members. i don't know what kind of a draw programs like this get, but i hope it's huge (pun not originally intended, but i kind of like it now). i'm sick of seeing gross fatasses everywhere i go. it almost ruined the chinese buffet for me. almost. it would have, except for the fact that in addition to being grossed out i also started feeling pretty good about myself. can't have average without fat. it's too bad they don't have programs like this for stupid. i guess it's called school, which is also why i guess there's lots of stupid around still.

stupid aside, i need some good getting-in-shape methods for the colder months. i generally run outside when it's either bearable or warm, but winter just pisses me off. plus, once golf season starts i can walk 18 and carry my bag for exercise. so it's really just a month or so of the cold. however, don't suggest cross country skiing. i'm not a skiier, so that's out. also, joining a gym is not an option. if i wanted to pay to hang out with a room full of sweaty half-naked meatheads i'd...well...join a gym.

anyway, let the great experiment begin...
