Hello? Yeah, I'm still here...barely.

OK, so losing weight this time around is not working out so well, and for some reason I don't have a lot to say about it.  Perhaps its because I'm SO FREAKING EXHAUSTED FROM THE DAY TO DAY DEMANDS OF WIFE, MOTHER, AND HOMEMAKER, but I'm not angry or anything...I'm just sayin.'  But I will take comfort in knowing when I have the time to go running, I can run 3 miles and plan to try 4 miles next week.  I will take comfort in saying I don't have to run a 10 minute mile when pushing a 16 pound Butterball of a baby in a jogging stroller uphill...or downhill for that matter.  I will take comfort in knowing that Tuesdays and Thursday, I will only walk so that my 12 year old dog Da Vinci can have some resemblance of a happy life for his last few years on this earth.  And I will take comfort that though I don't have time to go running on Wednesdays, I'm sure I am burning plenty of calories volunteering for Wyatt's kindergarten class.  I will enjoy a 2nd piece of my Hungry Girl fudge and I will eat my Lean Cuisine for lunch, because those little things are what I have the energy for right now.  It can only go up from here, right?  Please tell me I'm right.
