Maybe, maybe not. But every little bit helps I suppose.
Yesterday me and my yobo headed up to the mountaintop park across the road from our apartment. Instead of just walking around we availed ourselves to the exercise equipment stationed conveniently throughout the park. It probably didn’t make for a pretty sight but we took pictures anyway.
Well, we can start with a pretty picture of the lovely Jee Yeun enjoying the view…
This thing swings side to side as you shift body weight. It actually reminded me of the snow skiing motion. Hard to believe I use to be a pretty ardent skier…and racquetball player…and softball…
Working the upper body…which requires lifting the weight of your lower body (er, well the seat rises as you pull the bar down). Not sure what the physics of that means…
Come on baby, let’s do the twist…
And everything came out okay in the hwajangsil as well…
We took a different trail down from the mountain which dropped us into a new neighborhood. A lovely street scene don’t ya think?
Jee Yeun and I agreed that this house would be perfect for us. If wishes were money it would be ours right now!
A neighborhood Buddhist enclave was bursting with springtime goodness…
And then we came across a rather large fire station…
This friendly firefighter didn’t have much to say but we exchanged a a high-five anyway…
But this guy wanted to do a Lizzie Borden on my neck!
Ah well. It was a good day. And we are going to go back for more today as well. Because I definitely don’t want to start carrying this damn thing around again:
UPDATE: And while hopefully my belly will be shrinking, my brain won’t be!
