oxymoron, sort of

You all know what a health nut I am, ahem, well, ok maybe not a real real health nut, but I do try to maintain what I have & stay healthy. Ok now that I've said that here's what I'm getting at. Just about every day I force myself to get on that ole' treadmill & walk for at least 1/2 hour, & here's the oxymoron part as I'm sweating away the fat & pounds are just dropping off like crazy, at (least in my mind that is how I envision things happening to my body).. I'm watching the food network on t.v & getting all those great recipes & ideas on how to make 30 minute meals just like Rachael Ray!!!! Now isn't that kinda like defeating the whole purpose of exercising? These meals are not your normal diet meals & they always sound & look so good that I have to try them & before you know it the pounds & fat that I just worked so hard to get rid of are right back on the hips & thighs... That 's the oxymoron part, does anyone else do this sort of thing..?? or maybe I have some sort of syndrome or something. I have to say in my defense that one reason I watch the food channels is because there is nothing else decent to watch, other than the real estate or weather channels. Maybe I should learn how to read as I'm walking like I have heard that some people do, but then I would probably be reading the latest recipe book. Sigh!!!
