When did weight get to be an issue?

You know, if you go back and look at the annual, or old pictures, we were all reasonably sized people.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Now, arguably, I have an excuse since I had two kids after 40 and EVERYTHING changed, but in reality...that's not the problem. The problem is that age=weight and you either address it or live with it.

So Brenda and I decided to address it, and we started walking. Not "strolling" walking, but up-and-down hill fast-paced walking. We were motivated. We were dedicated. At the end of four weeks, which meant EIGHTY-FOUR MILES of up-and-down hills, I hadn't lost an ounce and she gained eight pounds. AND SHE DOESN'T EVEN DRINK. So we took three weeks off because I was out of town two and then school started, and now we've started back. Even though Brenda LOST ten pounds while we weren't doing anything.

We're on a mission.

We might not be size two's next time you see us? But by george our hearts will be healthy and our legs will be strong.

Which is no consolation whatsoever.
