I vowed in December 2005 to drastically improve my fitness. I was also spurred by my dad, who, with typical delicacy, had declared, "You too fat. You need to lose 40 pound to make you better golfer." So I moved in with family in Korea and began to work my ass off (literally). The alarm went off every day at 5 a.m. for a five-mile run, and this was followed by two hours in the gym doing weight training and various exotic forms of torture. Then I would go for long sessions of deep-tissue massages and acupuncture. They focused on the juicy areas where fat is stored, and it was excruciating. These little old ladies would say, "Ah, look, poison is leaking out of body!" I would be like, "No, bitch, I'm crying because you're hurting me!"

*snerk* From what I've read on Kylara's blog, this feels so quintessential Korean.
