i posted before about saddlebags (126/5'7). i just can't stand them anymore--
from the front view, i think i look pretty good in the thigh area, but from the
back i think i look awful. i am very happy with my lower legs and upper body
and to be quite honest, i'm not worried about bathing suits (although i'm
obviously thinking about that area; i want to look good in a suit, of course).
i'm more worried about how my butt looks in pants: not so good imo.

so if i cut back on calories and fat and jog/walk for 30-40 minutes almost
every day, and then do some thigh exercises and the daily crunches i already
do, will those saddlebags decrease even just a little? or is it really just
about genes? today i ended up eating half a box of annie's mac and cheese,
which isn't too bad (since the box is split in half) but just has a lot of
those simple carbs that aren't so good. for dinner i ate a mixed greens and
tomato salad with feta cheese, and then a slice of ezekiel bread with a piece
of deli american cheese on it. later on i'll probably have a light snack. i
only had half a serving of oatmeal for breakfast (1/3 of a cup probably)
because i didn't have time to finish it. do you think i should have more
calories?

it is summer vacation, but when i go back to college i won't be eating fatty
cafeteria food because i'll be off the meal plan and buying my own groceries.
my apartment also requires long walks up hills to class/campus probably more
than once a day (anyone who has ever gone to cornell knows our campus and the
area around--it's brutal but conducive to tight calves, and hopefully some
thinning in other areas). i really dislike weight lifting, so i'm hoping that's
not the only way. maybe some ankle weights would help.
