I've made a promise to myself that after the recent death of my mother (she passed away suddenly a few days before Christmas) I would get a handle on my train off the tracks, out of control life.  I will keep my promise to her to get this extra weight off and to minimize the "stuff" I currently own.  It's time to streamline the diet, the exercise, and all of the "stuff" I keep storing, so I can live a happier life.
