⇒ winter misery

it's cold, overcast and the days are stupidly short. Gym today was completely unwanted and I didn't get much done today (cardio-wise). Did 2 sessions of bike and some weights but I think I'll thin out the gymming during winter...just enough to stay fit.
12 x 50
7 x 60
~3 x 16 x 40
about 270KCALs total (normally I do about 350 on just the treadmill!)
134 in section 1 (Random Hill, level 10)
136 in section 2 (autopilot)

I'll try to cut down on the Thai and Mickey D's (had the Chicken Caesar Roll and cheeseburger last nite)

⇒ it starts...

another daunting and terrible semester is upon us...don't worry, i know it will end spectacularly, with the viet holiday and all looming...

winter is on it's way out--just 4 (count em' 4) short weeks left.

My health is improving--I've upgraded from near-death to exhausted, and with weather improvements, I might be well enough to concurrently work, exercise and study (shudder).

⇒ that's cold

sydney's coldest day--ever. Seriously, according to reports, it hasn't been this cold in 20 years! The thing I hate about cold weather in sydney? No snow? I mean come on! If the thermo is sub-zero then God owes us a snowflake or two.
