Happy new year! New decade! Same fat guy.
I ended up staying awake past midnight, though I think that's a function more of a messed up sleep schedule than anything else. I went to bed earlier, but as usual didn't sleep. Woke up before 5 but thankfully was able to go back to sleep until 7.
I've never been big on new year resolutions, but it is a convenient day to set out plans and goals and to give yourself a kick in the pants, and so even though I don't believe in starting before January 2 here are some plans:
1. Gradually improve the diet by (a) cooking and eating at home and (b) drawing down my stocks of bad food and not replacing them. Seriously. If I don't eat out, especially drive thru/takeout/pizza and if I don't have crap on hand I don't eat crap. Incidentally, no, today's menu is not a "diet" menu. Crap drawdown.
2. Get at least some minimal level of exercise nearly every day. I'm not talking running or weight lifting. Just walking or some kind of sustained movement. Probably no more than 15 minutes to start, but I want to progress to at least 30 and ultimately back to 60. I don't know when I've felt better than when I was walking an hour every morning.
3. Post everything I eat here. One of my justifications for getting a new Chromebook was that it would make it easier and more enjoyable to post. Plus, it's accountability.
4. Build on the momentum I've had lately with house projects. One thing that I'm really happy about is this. I still have lots of stuff in storage and boxes to be sorted and purged. If I can get rid of about half of my stuff that would be great.
5. Less concrete -- There are some improvements that can be made at work. Maybe I'll detail that later.
Breakfast: Entemann's rich frosted donuts, coffee
As mentioned I have a bunch of junk to draw down.
Lunch: 2 jumbo CF eggs over easy in butter, large avocado, 3 strips thick cut bacon, slice of homemade buttermilk wheat bread with butter, glass of whole milk
Bacon was a minute overdone and it's better with hash browns but still tasty.
Snack: Pretzel chips with cheddar cheese spread, Coke
Dinner: Ham, a couple scalloped potatoes, 2 rolls with butter, christmas cookies and ice cream with hot fudge
Also: 2x McD cheeseburger, McChicken, large Dr. Pepper
Exercise: Yes. 30 minutes of steady (if very very slow) walking. Went to the grocery store and meandered around, not stopping, for that long. I only bought one item and did very little looking so it was pretty easy to stay in motion. Not exactly high intensity, but it's *something*. And it didn't require me to walk on the icy sidewalks. Considering how lousy I feel, I'm quite happy.
