OK, this is getting ridiculous. I could blame TOM or my mother (visiting), but reality is I exercised too little and I ate too much (and not of the right stuff).

Here I am, planning on working here at home today, and the only thing I can think of is that I’m locked in this house without a Diet Coke.
I am normally a rational person, but when it comes to Diet Coke, there’s no rational thought involved.
I know people who drink diet sodas gain weight.
