Your ACTUAL New Years Resolutions

I would never try healthy eating for the first time without a calorie counter, just because you aren't used to what you can get away with eating yet. After a couple of months you may end up not needing it anymore, but starting with it is never a bad idea.

Bi-weekly weigh-in: Down 6.4 lbs.
A little bit more than the healthy maximum for that time period, but that's not surprising considering I had been consuming way fewer calories a day than I needed for the first week and a bit. Since I added cashews, fish and chicken into the mix with all my raw veggies, I've slowed that down I think.
Need to get better at keeping up with the weight training at night though; only managed two of those last week.

4 week weight in: down a total of 8.2 lbs so far, which is only a little over 1lb since two weeks ago. I'm not too worried about that; I've stepped up the weight training and I expect the muscle gaining to slow the fat loss some.

Still making progress, but still lots of work to go.

One month in, two cigarettes smoked, one each on two separate days, none at all since 1/23, and no more patch or gum use. I feel awesome - except for this damn depression.

Good to see somebody else is keeping up with it. Most of my friends made similar fitness resolutions this year and we created a google doc to track our fat/fit days. I'm the only one actually updating it though.

Whatever, in a year I'll look like Chris Evans and they'll look like Chris Farley.

I'm failing miserably at updating Fade. I'm really trying, but I've been working until like 9pm. Believe it or not, this oil price drop is good for consulting companies like ours. We gain work, because people want to do more with that expensive data they've already collected.

I neglected to do my bi-weekly weigh in this past week because things have been CRAZY at work. I've also not worked out in two weeks for the same reason. I'm pulling 11+ hour days at work. I've had to get a $50 cab ride home from work at 5:40am just so I'd have time to shower,change and get back to work for 9am.

But, I have my obligations, and weight updates is one of them, so my belated bi-weekly weigh in was performed today. Down another 1.4 lbs. That's 9.6 lbs since the start.

Given that I have hardly worked out over the past week, I probably have this past Friday's bout of food poisoning to thank for the 1.4 lbs.


Things at work should be finally easing up this week, and then I'm back at this hard. Still well on track to reach my goal. Two more months to lose just 10.4 lbs.

This wasn't one of my official resolutions from the first page, but I am trying to drink more tea and drink less coffee, beer and diet coke. I would drink huge, massive, full of caffeine Tim's coffees all the time and order assorted badness to eat with them. I started up with the David's Tea five weeks ago and haven't had a coffee since. I still have diet coke, but only a few a day instead of an embarrassing amount.

It's been 58 days since I quit smoking - long enough that it's now easy to avoid smoking, and no longer a chore that I have to keep up with. I've also maintained my giving up of excess sugar. That one is less easy to avoid. I really miss chocolate. The drawback being that I also had to be put on Zoloft to control the unreasoning panic that I've been living with since I gave up sugar, and which escalated when I quit smoking (and when I had a nervous breakdown on Superbowl Sunday).
