It's Not Just a River in Egypt

You may have noticed I've been sort of quiet lately. There is the possibility that you've sat at your computer wondering why I haven't been posting very often. Perhaps you've come to the conclusion that I am so busy working out, that it is getting harder and harder to squeeze in a regular blog post. I love you for these thoughts. In my own eyes-looking-up-and-to-the-left sort of way as I seek an excuse that aligns with your assumptions, I love you. Thanks. Bunches.

I've been quiet because I haven't wanted to be taken to task about my wimpy workouts or my sucky dietary choices (mostly just crap with a few vegetables thrown in here and there to make me feel better about what I'm inhaling).

You could do us both a favor by saving me from myself. Think of it. Next time you're wondering where I am or what I'm doing... just ask. Hold me accountable. I'm begging you.
