Mental Distortion

My last post on this blog was more than three months ago. I was beginning to think that my blog would fall victim to the Blog Hole, that dark void of countless unfinished blogs and private publications whose voices for one reason or another fell silent due to neglect, forgetfulness, writer’s block and countless other reasons. I will try my best to avoid such tragedies.

I, however, would like to pin official blame on my 6 month diet in which I shed 50 pounds. While I cannot excuse myself, my diet did consist of visits to the gym of up to 5 times or more per week. While that may appear a bit obsessive to some, it was an important factor in my diet as well as the daily maintenance of a journal I kept of everything I ate in order to cap the number of calories I consumed each and every day (1,200-1,400 calories).  More on this in upcoming posts.
