Why can't my Kitchen Aid "whip" me into shape?

Nine days left until the Frostbite half marathon so until then, my friends, it's the straight and narrow for the Edible Rabbit. No more late night snacking! No more wine! No more Oreos! No more macaroni and cheese! And for all of you out there who are familiar with my pitfalls (you know who you are), please feel free to send a word of encouragement, good cheer, chastisement, derision, or whatever you feel is appropriate. :)
