Well, another year is about to bite the dust. I don't think I'm going to accomplish any major 2017 goals in the next 12 hours, so it's safe to say that it's been a bust. I haven't stepped on the scale in a while, but I know I haven't made any progress. Doing better in the strength department but cardio condition has dropped off due to lack of walking. No other major life improvements I can point to, either. Work stress is way up, quality and quantity of sleep is down. This cannot continue.
I've never been a big believer in new year resolutions, but I do have an interest in setting some goals for 2018.
1. Fix the sleep. Perhaps surprisingly, the first goal isn't food related. I need to get more, better and consistent sleep. I had hopes of getting up early today, instead I dragged myself out of bed at 8:00. Pathetic. And still not rested.
2. Dump the fast food. It's too easy to just eat out every meal. I don't mind the sit down stuff, at least when I make good choices -- it's too bad the breakfast for lunch and taco salad spots are long gone -- but it's too easy to get 1500 calories of drive thru.
3. Get back to walking. I have a million excuses, but they're just that. Excuses. Get out there are do it, dummy. You felt great when doing three miles a day.
4. Be honest with myself. And that means being more critical when I fail.
And that's it. Sure I want to lose a bunch of weight. If I do those other things, it will come.

Sun's Up Fun Up
Sunday, December 10, 2017
A pretty decent start to the day thus far. Got up reasonably early, walked over to the laundry to get a load done, fixed a lovely breakfast and just now thinking about a second cup of coffee. Not sure how much I will get accomplished today. There are a million things on the list, but relaxation is needed too. We'll see.
Breakfast: Oatcakes w maple syrup, some CF applewood bacon, orange juice, coffee
Lunch: Meijer True Goodness tomato basil soup, cheese toast, a few Pringles
Misc: Lemonade
Dinner: Roast beef, potatoes, carrots, 12 oz Miller Lite
Exercise: Nope.

Post-Plague
Saturday, December 9, 2017
Ahh. A relaxing Saturday. Needed it, after being sick for nearly two weeks. It's wonderful to finally feel mostly like myself again.
I hit the grocery store yesterday and ended up with a bunch of crap, which I'll probably work through over the next few days. I'm hoping to get more on track here over the next couple weeks (yes, over the holidays) and hit it pretty hard in 2018.
Breakfast: Pillsbury cinnamon rolls, glass of whole milk
Lunch: 3 slices of leftover deluxe pizza
Snack: Outshine fruit bars, lime (3)
Dinner: CF pot roast, mashed potatoes, carrots, 16 oz Vandermill blue gold cider
Exercise: Nope. Soon though!
