Miracle Cure for the Overweight & Underorganized?

So, I’m browsing though the web, searching for the elusive answer for curing my overweight and underorganized-ness, deciding Ponce de Leon made more progress in his quest for the Fountain of Youth, when I run across the miraculous solution: Tai Chi. Apparently, the key to this ancient Chinese secret is that by stretching, breathing deeply, and “massaging your internal organs,” you can obtain better health, increase stamina, improve memory retention, and attain world peace, er — inner peace (sorry about that).

I’m a bit skeptical, though, because I’ve been practicing some similar techniques for years, but the benefits have yet to come. Stretching? Oh, yeah. I’ve got the stretch marks to prove it. Deep breathing? Yep. Every time I walk across the room. And I’ve got the internal organ massage thing down, too, cuz when it comes to belly jiggling, I can give Santa some stiff competition. Or at least some flabby competition.

Seriously, Tai Chi does seem to offer a lot of benefits, and I plan to order a DVD. That is, as soon as I can find one for the hopelessly overweight and underorganized…

Welcome to Overweight & Underorganized!

For years, while my friends gathered to sing Auld Lang Syne, I'd sneak away and scrawl out my New Year's resolutions. Not anymore. Why? Have I given up? Nope. It's just that, because my list hasn't changed since big hair was in vogue, I have it memorized -- Lose Weight, Get Organized.

According to the Food & Drug Administration and the National Association of Professional Organizers, I’m not alone. Over 50 million Americans embark upon some sort of diet every January. Nearly as many will turn to page one of a fresh personal planner. Most will fall back into their old habits before month one of the new year is over, and, like me, they’ll still be overweight and underorganized.

I finally decided if you can beat ’em, write about ’em and created this site to encourage, enlighten, and entertain the masses who wrestle with excess weight and disorganization. My goal is to offer readers a nugget of hope tucked inside a lump of laughter.

This is a new site, so please be patient as it grows and develops into what I hope will be one of your favorite stopping places along the Information Highway. Thanks for dropping by!
