One fat geek's SUCCESSFUL attempt to regenerate into a not-so-fat geek by watching the entirety of Doctor Who while walking on a treadmill

Bet Your Bottom Dollar that Tomorrow There'll Be Some...

So, I missed another day on the treadmill today. In my defense, I had to be up at 5am to take my sister to the airport following a lovely holiday visit, and then I had the final two performances of the show I have been in. Annie was an amazing experience, but in the course of 24 performances between Thanksgiving and Christmas, I missed more days on the treadmill this month than in the other nine months of this project combined. Tomorrow, though, I am full steam ahead. As a nifty bit of serendipity, because I missed today that means that I start Earthshock tomorrow, Christmas Eve. By extension that means that, because I have been a very good boy, I get to watch Adric die on Christmas Day. It's a holiday miracle!

Or just turn down the contrast until everything's grey? (This may possibly be a comment only understood by people with a certain vintage of television. Do TVs even have adjustable contrast anymore?

Good point. Perhaps, after I finish Blake's 7 and Sapphire & Steele, I should start a grand re-watch and dig back into the b&w era.

Regards the first year weight loss, could the science be that early Doctor Who was more conducive to weight loss than when it went color??? Could color TV be the problem?
