the truth is, my exercise routine isn't enough right now. it's slow. sure i might lose weight over the course of, i don't know, a YEAR, but i need results sooner. i have been hovering around the same weight, give or take 2 lbs, for uhm, forever. i don't know. since last summer?

i've also come to realize that my downtime requirements don't give me much room for anything else. i would maybe start melting down if i didn't give myself the time to veg. what happens though is i never make progress on organizing anything. in a few years the kids will need a little less of my time.

i feel pretty good about the chicken dinner i made last night. when i can improvise sauces it feels like progress. it was a butter herb sauce, probably lacking salt, but was basically just broth and butter. and i cooked the chicken in it which was nice. i should just do that more often.
