Proverbial Poop, Meet Proverbial Fan

  This is it kids, this is where the proverbial "poop" hits the proverbial "fan."  It's time to buckle down so I can buckle down tighter on my belt. It's time to shape up so I can look shapely.  It's time to rock and roll so I can have a rock-hard body and no more fat rolls.  It's time to...I can't think of any more stupid lines. Next paragraph please.
  It was a tough week out here in Weight Loss Land.  Not only was it Thanksgiving, but I injured a tendon or muscle near my hip so I was unable to run this past week.  In lieu of the lack of cardio, I worked twice as hard on my upper body, hopefully putting a little muscle mass up there.  Oh yeah, I also splurged on a few fast food meals as well.  In spite of all that, I managed to lose one pound.  I don't know how that happened, but you will hear no complaints from me.  According to the calendar I have 29 days left to lose 4.5 pounds.  Hm.  It's not going to be a fun December.  The end is near in my epic quest to look good.  Who knows, once I look good, maybe I will embark on another epic quest to look amazing or fantastic.
