It's Just Not Fair!

I did water aerobics four days this week. On Wednesday the instructor challenged us with 45 minutes of extra-fast aerobics followed by weight training. Others complained that it was too much while I thanked the teacher for pushing us. Today I walked briskly for an hour. I felt really good about doing good things for my body.

Until tonight.

Tonight I read the new Time magazine. The cover story is that exercise does nothing to help people lose weight, in fact it often makes us gain weight because it makes us so ravenously hungry. To add insult to injury, a lean body is less prone to disease than a less lean but fit body.

It's going to take a lot of ice cream to get over this revolting turn of events!
