Busy Lives and Dieting – Update on Diet Pledge

I summed up my life in a conversation with my sister a few months ago.

"How are you?" she asked.

"I’m working hard at relaxing," I replied without thinking of the implications.

That sums me up, "Working hard at relaxing." Wrong on so many levels.

David Archuleta, American Idol, and Doing Things Well

OK, OK, I admit it — but don’t hold it against me because we all have our guilty pleasures. I’m just coming clean.  Here goes: I like to watch American Idol! There, I said it! I’ve owned it. Now, I can take my horrible, awful secret out from the closet and boldly be who I am.  Deal with it.

Anyway, my wife and I — oops, I just outed her too — like to watch the show because it really does showcase some incredible talent; we don’t care for all the squabbling and bickering among the judges. (And even though Simon Cowell has some valid criticisms, he does seem to take delight in being abrasive and we don’t like that either. Take that Mr. Big Shot Judge! Harrumph!)

Now that I’ve come clean, let me tie this into weight loss.
