Shape Up or Ship Out

“Shape up or ship out”…well, it sure sounds like I’m giving myself an ultimatum, and I guess in a way I am. Frankly, I’m tired of restarting this process over and over — just a bunch of false starts. So I’m trying to commit to myself publicly. This time I lose the weight and get [...]

I Have Nothing to Say

I am talking to myself. Welcome to my world… I decided a long time ago that I would not have a blog until I had something to say. I still have nothing to say… Except to myself. You see, this blog is for me. I do have a hell of a lot to say. I [...]
