situps and other frustrating thoughts

Careful diets, increasing exercise, and I still weigh a bit more than I did a year ago.  I am up to exercising 4 - 9 hours per week, 1-3 times a day.  Bleh.  A big time suck.

A few days ago, aurienne  mentioned working on two hundred situps.  I thought, why not? I might as well add this to my routine.  So, today I'm up to 180+.  Doesn't that sound nice and impressive?  What a great, large number!  But thus far I have had zero soreness.  My biggest problem has been boredom.  Nice to know that I'm in such shape that adding situps does not make me feel any different... but I kinda wish it made me fill a tiny bit different!
