And another thing, while I’m here.

I’m going to do the Self Challenge this year. Starting yesterday. And I will actually finish it so help me $DEITY. I have got to. I must lose a few pounds — not a TON, but a few — because my jeans are tight again and I just refuse outright to buy any new ones. Not for awhile. And certainly not bigger ones. I’m fed up (or is that overfed?). I will finish that damn Self Challenge. And, just to make defeat even more ignominious, I will say this: Today, I weigh 212 pounds. My jeans are a size 16. And they’re tight. Not to the point of a camel-toe, but they weren’t a breeze to put on this morning. I’ve had enough of it. This is the beginning of a change, and that change starts with completing the Self Challenge.

I can do this.
