Kayce Tyler and Jordan Tyler will be married this Saturday, April 28. Photo submitted

Over the past couple of months I have been talking about getting in shape for the summer and my upcoming trip to visit my sister in Tampa. My goal was to lose 20 (or more) pounds.

That hasn’t happened. I lost exactly ONE pound. ONE. POUND.

I went to the gym twice in a row. Then my boss got us a membership to a gym that has Zumba, and I thought since I lost a bunch of weight before by doing Zumba I should try it again. I went twice, almost died and it became immediately obvious that where I am in my life, Zumba is now something I need to already be in shape for to participate in. Needless to say, I’m not there yet. I figure its a pretty safe bet that maybe I should just live life fat and happy. 

Let’s get to the news.
