I am still so exhausted that I'm not exercising at all. THIS MUST CHANGE. We went to Griffith Park this weekend and a short walk winded me! I have not been winded from any but the most vigorous of activities since JANUARY.

 

I really can't believe my weight is remaining the same. I am not complaining, but it's seriously amazing that I haven't gained.

Ok. This is getting old. I'm running more than ever, but the pounds are not going anywhere. I need to get over myself and start some portion control. It's my biggest downfall and is clearly hampering my weight loss.

From the Timeline: On its 60th anniversary, The Asia Foundation seeks to focus international attention on six critical issues facing Asia, including transparency and accountability in government. Accountable government is critical to sustainable growth in Asia, particularly in countries experiencing rapid social and economic change. As more Asian countries achieve middle-income status, citizen demands for good government are growing. Failure to address these demands may relegate many Asian countries to economic stagnation, social unrest, and political instability.
