Interesting, this is nice and new to me.

I've been steadily losing weight for a few years now, but recently I fell off the wagon, and I'm ten pounds up. My goal weight, once upon a time, was 180, but when I hit that goal and still felt "soggy in the midsection" (to quote the eminent philosopher of our time, Will Smith), I kept losing, down to 174. Now I'm up to 184, so I've got to at least get back down to my previous record, but hopefully get down to 170. This time, though, I hope I can get a better exercise regime going, since it's been 99% diet previously. Keeping the energy to exercise, and finding exercises I enjoy are tough, so I've got to explore my options more and see what's fun. I love to hike, but that's a seasonal thing that takes lot of preparation, and isn't something that can be done daily. If I get the job I've been shooting for, I can join the company gym, and they've got a swimming pool that I would hope to be able to use, so that should, in theory, solve the problem.

So, let's see if joining the Morale Menagerie is helpful to reach that goal. Count me in.
