Pounds and more pounds!

I'm trying to get motivated here to lose at least 25 pounds. Don't ask me where they are. They must be hibernating in my legs and on my waist. Don't like it! Don't like it at all...aggghhhh....but I find the gym so tedious and walking is boring. I was thinking that maybe I could volunteer on a construction site or help out with Habitat for Humanity building some houses or something. That would help, don't ya think? Maybe I should get a job planting trees. All that walking from one seedling plot to another, digging, putting in those cute saplings and then shoveling dirt on top of the hole should help me shed some fat, tone up those unused muscles and get back my waist. I took a pic of myself in the fall and promised myself that I would get rid of the excess fat. Geez, my own kids laugh at me after I eat and point to my pregnant-looking belly. And they're old enough to know better than to do that. If they think it's funny, others will too...and forget about the "bikini-ready" motivating factor. What beach am I going to be lolling around on? Ashbridges Bay? Don't think so. Yeah, that's a pic of the beach right there. Some beach, huh? I don't even know how some folks dip their whole selves in that polluted Lake Ontario water.
