Living in Excess

Arrived back home from our trip to Florida last weekend.  This annual trek was a particularly special one.  Gary's Dad celebrated his 90th birthday and his three sons and their wives all came down to share in the celebration. 
 
Weigh-in today proved that I gained a lot while on "Early Bird Special" time and it was a brutal gain.  It can only happen due to one thing---over eating combined with a lack of movement.  I tend to be even more lethargic in hot, humid weather and it was blazing down there. 
 
Can't really blame a state for it's weather.  All I can say is that I do acknowledge my full responsibility for this excess poundage.
