Skipping Dessert … and taking the stairs

So, ummm, it’s been a while. Nearly two years, actually. Hope you’ve been well.

Here’s what I’ve been up to:

• I ran for Alachua County Commission. That was quite the experience. Fourteen months of it. Oh yeah, I lost. Will I do it again? Don’t know. Stay tuned.
• Found out that Sprightly Daughter Number One has a chromosomal disorder called Turner Syndrome. As a component of that syndrome she has Celiac Disease. Which is sort of a cosmic comeuppance for having written this piece.
• Lost a close friend to mental illness.
• Had an uncomfortable medical experience of my own that you don’t even want to know about.
• Celebrated our tenth wedding anniversary.
• A bunch of other stuff but most relevant to this blog, I ate my way back up to 286 pounds.

  I’ll be back to blogging regularly here, because I’ve proven to myself that writing here helps me lose weight and live healthy.

  I hope you’ll check in. As always, I appreciate you reading.
