I had the last of the Christmas ham in a sandwich for lunch today.
>>It’s that time of year where I make those New Years Resolutions in anticipation of losing a few pounds, cut back on alcohol, cut back on internet time and do more stuff outside.
Anyone who made those resolutions in 2019 gets a do over for not adhering in the 2020 lockdown.
I find those far easier after a December of sitting around and drinking while playing around on the Internet. Even if I get half way back to my November level I'm a winner.
Rehab is for quitters...
It’s easier to just give up one thing then another.
My wife and I gave up pop about 9 yrs ago. It was a once in a while thing for me, but a every other day thing for her. Same with sweet tea. It’s rare that we have either any more.
Then about 6 yrs ago Chocolate was reduced to only dark, and probably a 1/2 oz per day. Oreos disappeared from the cabinet at least 20 yrs ago.
My wife is an excellent cook, and bakes marvelous things, so buying store bought cookies almost never.
I allow myself 2 per day.
The meals are sensible low fat most of the time.
The discipline does allow an occasional greasy exception. Lol
We were heavier in time past, but certainly not obese.

I stopped drinking as a New Year’s resolution. Haven’t had a drink since.
What an improvement in my life.;-)
There’s a 90% chance that he’ll be back in his old lifestyle by Groundhog Day.
I started about a week ago.
Stopped drinking, exercise over about an hour and a half a day, started to read the books I already own. (Lot of Agatha Christie and Bill Bryson’s *A Short History of Nearly Everything* is a hoot!)
Been unemployed since last March and I’m fed up with folding in. Start work next week with a very different attitude.
Yeah, no. I have been down this futile road myself so many times I have more baggage from my disappointment in myself than from how fat and lazy I have become.
But this year is different, and I will tell you all about my transition from fat lazy slob to fit and active manly-man.
Or not...
I feel personally attacked by this article...
With me out of town, and some family members with Covid, we haven’t celebrated Christmas yet. So I have a few more days of poor eating habits. But just as soon as we get together and celebrate, and we’ve consumed all the leftovers, watch out world! we’re changing our diets, getting rid of the clutter, giving up all our bad habits, finishing up all six of our redecorating projects, walking 3 times a week at the park (the one with the hills), keeping the car CLEAN, and the laundry washed, dried, folded, AND put away. Changing dozens of things in our lives all at once, can’t be too hard, right?
