Well you make a good point - I don't tend to have a problem finding pants or jeans, which is a good thing. (am I rubbing it in yet?)

I hate that my fat still rolls over the top of my pants when I sit down. I can't wait for the days when I can do laundry on my abs.

But, you know, for all the whining I do, I am unwilling to be more stringent with my diet or work out a whole lot more. So, I remind myself that my moderation in diet & exercise means moderation in fat loss. I could be doing much greater calorie restriction and hours more exercise a week, but I don't want to. So I should just shut up.

In other news, I had a love affair with my new camera this weekend. I went to a local park & took some pictures...

buzz buzz.... these bees are huge - about 2" long. *shudder*
I thought this picture would turn out well, but it's still a little blurry so I need to work on my macro skills.


Took this one on my tripod with a slower shutter speed to make the water look softer, then converted it to b/w. Also got a polarizing filter to improve pictures with water/sky, which i used here. Again, a little fuzzy but good practice.


Showing off my push-press shoulders.
This is poor composition that I didn't recognize until I got home... I have a tree coming out of my head.


And finally - my dream bike I hope to buy in the next 1-2 years: a honda shadow *swoon*
and in RED too - my favorite color
