My hard work at DDR is slowly paying off. I'm noticably improving, up to where I can start taking on songs at Standard. Still have a long way to go, of course, but it's nice to do something where I actually see myself getting better.

Now, I wish weight loss would be just as noticable, but all I can do is trust that busting my ass on songs in the heat (which makes the body work harder to keep cool) is having even a small effect. I do know that my body shifting into fat-burning mode is nothing but good provided I make *use* of that mode... and my DDR sessions are usually long enough to ensure that I do. Building up stamina is also a plus, not that my leg muscles have ever been weak.

I ought to invest in a small pair of arm weights and learn proper techniques with them. I could even do those sitting at my computer, or while working. That would be good; I don't need lots of strength, but endurance is all to the better. But then again, I've said I would before and never did.

Altogether I'm a little depressed about my writing; that'll be magnified when my rejection letter comes in the mail next week. Ah well.
