this is quickly turning into a weight (non)loss blog...

but that's what's on my mind right now. So sorry. That and the disenfranchisement of IL voters, which no one seems to give a shit about. Because it's not convenient, don't cha know. Ok - that first, THEN the ever exciting lack of weight loss post.

Prostitute-beating, steroid-taking, pawn-shop owning & dead beat dad, Scott Lee Cohen won the Democratic primary race for the rarely important job of Lt. Governor. Did the Dems vet their ticket? Nope. Did the media vet the ticket? Nope (despite the guy's attempts to have press conferences and get the jump on it! No one came.) And voters, the few that showed up, behaving as the sheep that they are, voted for the guy who mailed them pretty fliers and had a couple of commercials. No one expected this guy to win, but he DID. Oh shit, right? How do we reverse the will of the people? Madigan & company bring the hammer down on him (I wish I could have heard the deals being struck in that room) and now Madigan & Co. get to make the pick for us. Whattaya say we just let him do it next time and skip the voting booth entirely? Save everyone the trouble. This state is an embarrassment. Rant over.

so - my other non-related rant is that 2+0 is not equalling 4. Can't do half and expect the whole result. I'm doing half and I need to be honest that I'm doing half. Funny thing is that it's the half that most other people would avoid - the exercise half. I personally love it. I don't love tracking every bite of food that goes into my mouth and that's the piece that needs to get done or I will forever hover in this space. So to sum up - GAH.
