Ash Wednesday post

When last I posted, things were going pretty well.  Since then, Girl Scout cookies have been delivered here by the semi truckload and friends have been dropping of meals nearly every day.  (Therese was pregnant but ended up losing the baby and had to have a D&C last Friday.)

I am determined to use Lent to get back on track, and obviously God's trying to help me b/c I woke up in the middle of the night with a nasty stomach bug that has my insides in turmoil.  I'm definitely not going to be gaining any weight today! 

Reports of my demise have been greatly exaggerated

Sure, it's been since November that I've posted.  But I'm back!  (Thanks, Bill.)  Sadly, in the intervening time I've gained a bit.  I topped out near 280, but as of yesterday was back to 269.2.  So that's what I'll put down for this week and see how I do next week.  I've been playing basketball every Tuesday and racquetball most Fridays, and usually get in one job a week.  But the weather is getting nicer so I should be able to run more and start biking again.  Also tennis, maybe...

I've disable the automatic email notification on this thing, so now people can just visit if they want and ignore me otherwise.  Mostly it's b/c I'm kind of embarrassed at the backsliding.
