Where's The Bug Spray?

About me

Location	Maine, United States
Introduction	I'm a recovering Couch Potato, struggling with such weighty daily decisions as: eat ice cream or eat an apple? Sit and watch TV or go for a walk? Spend endless hours at the computer or go to the Y and swim laps? Why is it often so hard to choose the right one? My goals are to lose a total of 130 pounds and complete a sprint triathlon someday. Don't laugh. It could happen.
