Congressman Darrell Issa thinks the Obama Administration is the most corrupt ever. Representative Cantor pledges that House will vote to repeal health care next week. Surprise, surprise the Republicans are who we thought they were. Looks to me like they plan to waste a whole lot of time and money on matters that will do nothing to make the lives of Americans better.
On the other hand, President Obama is considering hiring a tough guy like Bill Daley to be his Chief of Staff and liberal Democrats are whining. Maybe it's my Chicago roots, but I love the idea of hiring Daley. He knows Washington. He's blue collar-tough, smart and not blinded by ideology. Seems like a clear signal that President Obama is most interested in getting things done that will improve the lives of Americans.
Speaking of getting things done...
I've started my weight loss program. For breakfast, I had 2 fried eggs over a couple pieces of ham (no toast). For lunch, a wonderful tuna salad my wife pre-made for me. I only ate half the salad, saving the other half for tomorrow. During the day I snacked on Macadamia nuts. Upon my arrival home from work, I snacked on some broccoli and cauliflower with blue cheese. I've managed to drink a boatload of water as well. For dinner, it looks like grilled chicken with rice.
For those of you who have done this before, you will recognize it as the old Atkins diet. I'm mixing it with my wife's experience with the South Beach diet, which explains the rice tonight. I'm making no bones about this. I'm in it to lose a bunch of weight. I will deal with the long term when I get my weight down to a more reasonable level. My diet is about making my life better.

Welcome back...yes, I follow your TWITTER on an RSS feed. :)
A happy and healthy 2011 to you and the family.
Good luck with the diet Mike. I've found that my body started storing extra calories for a rainy day about five years ago. Since I hate exercising for the sake of exercising, and since I hate eating food that has little to no flavor, I've had to cut myself off and simply eat less than I used to. So far that has given me a drop of about 10 pounds over the past year or so. It's looking like I may have to break down and exercise if I want to drop another ten though. I keep thinking I should run with the girls during softball practice, but I'd hate to embarrass myself. After my brother's heart attack this past fall I had a heart scan and the doctor told me I had no restrictions in the vessels around my heart, which of course means I means I have no physical excuse for not exercising! I strongly recommend you have a heart scan done BEFORE you start to do a lot of new exercising - it could just save your life.
BS you are so sneaky. How do I do RSS feed thing?
Searching, good advice. I think it will be awhile before I'm in good enough shape to run with the girls. It wasn't that many years ago that I actually did the workouts with them. With my back problems, I don't think it's a good idea even if my heart is OK.
