What’s a girl to do?

I got on the scale this morning. 152.something pounds. WTF? I’m staying within my points and I’m exercising like a woman possessed, why am I not losing weight? I’m going to try cutting down on the fruit intake. Yeah, that’s right, fruit is doing me in. I’m chubby because I like apples.
I’m reading “Shape Up with the Slow Fat Triathlete: 50 Ways to Kick Butt on the Field, in the Pool, or at the Gym–No Matter What Your Size or Shape” by Jayne Williams. She says that getting your core into shape will help you in your athleticism. So, as a follower of the Slow Fat Triathlete, I’m checking out the local Pilates place. I’m going from apple core to my core.
The Slow Fat Triathlete also says to eschew diets. Well that isn’t good news for Weight Watchers. But I’m inclined to believe her. I mean, really, I’m not losing weight and I’m running several times a week with a long bike ride thrown in for good measure. And I’m hungry. And I need to cut back on my fruit. So what’s the point? Ok, yeah, I’m gaining muscle and that weighs more than fat. The thing on the front of my belly that flops around when I run isn’t muscle, I can guarantee that. I really miss pizza. And Jalisco’s Camarones con macho sauce. What’s a girl to do?
