Just Be Ugly

Matt and I watched that Cancer Documentary from PBS. In case you missed it, it was very good, stop reading this and go watch it! Learn something today. The one thing that I did take away, was that we are never going to find a cure for cancer. Some cancers have been treated using hormone therapy and others using viruses or our own immune systems; however, there will never be a One-Size-Fits-All Cure for Cancer and that fucking sucks. Contrary to what we have been telling ourselves for decades, cancer will not be cured.
Obesity is surpassing Smoking as the #1 spot on the list of preventable causes of deaths. Obesity causes cancer, along with a myriad of other diseases. So why do I keep playing with my weight in a way that is dangerous? Granted I'm not morbidly obese, but I do yo-yo between unhealthy and overweight.  It is that time of year again, when I decide that I'm chubby. This seems to happen every year, but the weight fluctuations are getting larger. I used to fluctuate 5 pounds, now its 15. I will get back there, as I always do, but it holds more importance as I grow older.
Matt and I are doing the Shaun T 25 workout and I hate it, and I think I died doing it (see below photo of death by T25).
 I know you are supposed to hate these videos, but I honestly didn't hate my Jillian Michaels DVD.  I think because she is mean, and Shaun T is too nice.  Shaun T is polite and says, "you can do this" while Jillian says "get moving, I have 400 pound people that can do this".  Essentially calling me a fatass is what really gets me motivated.  Matt decided he wanted to lose a few pounds,   He has been working hard and he has lost 17 since January.  I have gained 5 since January.  So yet again, today marks the day that I say no more donuts fatass.  Today I say FUCK CANCER and Get Moving.
