Reality Check

I stepped on the scale this morning and discovered to my abject dismay that I have gained 15 pounds in the last 9 months. Probably about half of that is due to the recent Girlfriends Support Tour and my overindulgence in Columbus, but really, this can't be allowed.

My back hurts, my legs ache, and it's all due to lack of disciplined exercise and hauling around these extra pounds. I know what needs to be done, and now all I have to do is do it. So today, I will start--get back on the elliptical every day, stop eating like I'm in training for becoming a Sumo wrestler, and walk these Tennessee mountains, despite the heat and humidity. I've put it off long enough and the party is OVER!
