Really? Wow.

It's been far too long.

Busy, but more just not in the habit of blogging. But I should be. I like it.

My six month long weight loss competition with friends ended today. I lost the 18 pounds gained over the course of knee and hip injury and rehab. Can't complain about that. I do feel very in control of myself as regards both the intake without denying myself and the outgo as far as mixing it up and keeping it fun. It is helping a LOT that the boys are older and after work has become fair game for a 4 mile run.

Daily, I find myself more and more impassioned by the cause of local, sustainable food sources and how it affects us on a up-close, physical and great big global level. I just ordered a new book "The Value of Nothing" and it really can't get here soon enough. I have a lot of ideas for this summer....

...which is truly right around the corner. Big will be done for the year on June 5, and now we are knee deep in lax, baseball and play rehearsals. Oh, yeah-- and snow, as we woke up to a fresh foot yesterday! Monday, I went for a great trail run in shorts and a tshirt on dry country leaves, and yesterday I went on the same trail...wearing snowshoes. Today, I was back to shortsleeves. Snow's mostly gone now....hoping for complete dissapation by morning. Enough is enough.
