Dateline Wuxi, China, Tuesday September 25, 2012

543 on the elliptical in 31 minutes – low number again caused by learning the new Chinese song, which really takes the pain out of the workout.  I almost have it down now.  A few hundred more times through it…

We’re going out for a hotpot dinner tonight.  Hopefully I can keep it on program more or less.

I think I may have bumped into the 80-20 rules with this body transplant program.  That rule states that the last 20 % of your results to your goal take 80% of the effort.  I may have to double down on this diet thing if I ever want the flab off my belly.

But this certainly didn’t start this evening.  The hotpot dinner was not too bad, though the soup was very rich and oily.  But the icecream bar, and the glasses of sweet plum juice cooled with Popsicles certainly wasn’t permitted on my program.  Yikes.  I’ll never lose the belly flab this way.
