Welcome to the new decade (2010)! I saw an encouraging report here, that stated that while Americans have not gotten skinnier, we have leveled off of the increasing obesity! That is good news!
Starting my third year of recent fitness aspirations, I have high hopes to continue what was successful last year – weight loss! If you click my “Progress” tab at the top you will see a story that showed some success the first year but a total relapse during the end of year holidays. Last year I started from 255 and got down to 228.
Well this is a new year and am starting out at 233 (some bounce ) pun intended 
The goals for this year are to buckle back down and get into a groove again. I am adding the wife and pets into my overall plan because we have to support each other. We have started back up with the walking two miles in many evenings.
Further goals are for me to spend more time at the karate school this year, getting into better fighting shape and helping the youngins along and to continue everything last year that worked. This includes jogging, bag work, free weights, walking and perhaps some body surfing (this is kind of a risk as I might be mistaken for a whale in the surf)!
I will still try to update this blog every couple of weeks and visit you all out there in the blogasphere.
I hope the holidays has left you refreshed and ready to accomplish you goals this year!
Hey John!
I hope this year is your year! Please try to tweak the eating part of your plan. I just think that’s the biggest bang for the buck part of weight loss.
PS For the time being, also, stay on the high ground with the rains!
Hey Dr J!
You must have ESP because that is what I have to work on now. No matter what gains I’ve made in the past, I’ve always had to buckle down on my eating to make real progress.
The good thing is the holidays are past and my wife and I are really paying attention to diet.
I’ve puddled through the rains (woops! my Freudian slip), er I mean muddled though the worst of the rains!
