If you’ve been here awhile, you know that I’m not really very political. I try to avoid the news because it is mostly bad and being informed is highly over-rated in my opinion.

I did it.
Over the last 10 year years, I’ve talked and talked about losing weight and getting into shape again. What can I say? I’m a slow starter.
To be fair, I’ve done more than talk. I’ve made several attempts. I joined a gym and went faithfully for two years. I gave up the gym and continued to work out with my Wii.
