You know that place......?

.....the place where you eat boat-loads of pizza, take less than 3000 steps a day, play video games for hours, eat ice cream and bags of Caramel Creams until your teeth burn?

Well.....I have been on a very long sabbatical there.....

They have taken my passport won't give it back, so I am unable to return to the land of healthy eating and exercising.

I am being held hostage against my will.....
(But the Caramel Creams are so GOOOOD!!!!)

I cant stop "sitting and eating"!!
(But I am on the final chapter of Super Paper Mario Bros!!!)

I'm dying to get out and run!!
(But it's cold outside, and my foot still has the TINIEST hint of pain in it....better not risk it!!)


Somehow, (divine intervention?), I have managed to "only" gain a pound or two....yet when I look in the mirror, I see myself getting fat.....pants getting tight.....face getting round....

In fact, yesterday I put on a pair of my size 12's and they fit nicely....
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those are supposed to be falling off when I stand up, not "fitting nicely"!!!!


I have no scientific data to back this, but I do believe I am going into "hibernation mode"...

No....really......

I think I am about to hibernate......

It's getting cold here...the leaves are changing...there was a bit of frost on the lawn this morning...the heat is on in our cozy little cave.....

...and I've begun putting on my winter layer of blubber.

Walrus blubber.
(Do Walruses hibernate??  Hmmmmm.....)

Yes...even the lovely "walrus blubber" has been mentioned again in our household...
just this morning.....

Leah gave me the Pillsbury-Dough-Boy-Poke to my hip this morning and spoke two words....

two. little. words....

"Walrus blubber"



Do I really want to go back to where I was in March?

Have I really come halfway across the lake, only to decide "It's too hard", turn around and swim back?

I don't know where my motivation....my determination.....my drive to become healthy went.
I bet it fell out of my pocket somewhere outside....

I'd better get off this chair...get on my bike....and start looking for it.
