Superficiality ensues, you have been forewarned:
Squeezing on my stretchiest (and largest) black pants the other day, I thought maybe I should take a hard look at the state I'm in.
The Sate I'm in:
Besides feeling sluggish all the time, being more flesh than force, having to wear the same frumpy ill-fitting pair of pants every day and an aching arthritic knee - I have learned, that;
In the last 15 months I have gained an official 15 pounds ("official" meaning, "roughly").
That's not a drastic amount. But it is a lot, when one considers what it will take to get rid of it.
It's no surprise, really. It's not that I hadn't noticed... It all began when I took on a big responsibility at church that, while extremely rewarding, is so very stressful for a gal like me.
Also, in the last 15 months, I have quit playing music regularly. I hardly touch my guitar these days. When I started to get serious about the guitar and music again a few years back, I magically lost 15 pounds (roughly) over several months. And kept it off (roughly). I've certainly never been the "skinny" type, but it did feel good to have that little extra weight off.
No satisfying music.
Stressful Church calling (that I do love. love ≠ easy).
Weight gain.
Is this a Coincidence? Heck. No.
A lame Excuse? Um. YES...
I'm not posting any declarations or resolutions to change, not that I don't have any goals, I'm just not POSTING them. So why am I even writing about this?
Because I found this while browsing on the internet the other day:

I need to eat a nice person that never swears. Afterall, I am the bishop's wife, right?
oh Melissa This MADE my day!!! I love you and think your perfect just the way you are:)
Those cartoons were so funny. Don't you hate the scale. I use it way too often and when I'm up, bad day, down good day. A little silly don't you think? Just for the record, i think you look great, I would never have guessed you were up at all.
