fine whine

It's after one in the morning and I just finished walking three miles or so. It's not quite freezing out, though we are expecting snow later today. I wasn't walking outside, though, but in my family room on our fancy new treadmill.

My three or four hundred calories were burned while I watched the forgotten Chris Rock vehicle (and sort-of-remake) Down to earth. It had some decent laughs, but really I think the whole thing was about Chris's not-so-great acting career and his thoughts on why nobody thinks that highly of him.

Or perhaps I'm reading too far into it.

Anyway, the movie's pretty forgettable and it doesn't even push the good ideas as far as they should go. The three hundred calories, though, matter a bit more though, as long as I can keep to it. They say that new habits take three weeks or some such, so if I get started now I'll maybe be good at getting back in shape come year's end (or beginning, I guess).
