Movies and Reading of 2015

Boy, was I off the pace for reading this year! One year it was 170, this year 44.  I've had a lot of fun though.  And I read some really great books in amongst the erotica ;-)

Unfortunately, I also gained a lot of weight.  Enough to affect the fit of my clothing.  I've been wearing a lot of leggings and skirts because I can't get into my pants and I am NOT buying bigger clothing.  I said last year was the year I was going to get down to my goal weight of 180 and I failed miserably.  Epically.  Unequivocally.

Moving on, I'm going to reach my goal this year.  It's time to get it done and finally get my Edgar suit removed.  It'll put me in debt for the rest of my natural life and I'll look like I was attacked by a shark for a while, but I haven't worked this hard just to wallow around in pounds and pounds of empty skin.  I started last year off at 214, got down to 202 midyear, then skyrocketed back up to my current 226 at year's end.  My self esteem, not to mention my arthritic knees, have suffered.  Time to turn it around!
