Another Year, Another Fresh Start

Actually, it's just a resumption after a premeditated abandonment of my weight-loss program.

I did pretty well in 2011, dropping somewhere between 40 and 50 pounds on the Points Plus program. Trouble was, my sister was dying. The week she went on hospice, I had a talk with myself and decided life was stressful enough that I'd not worry about food intake until a couple months after she passed. Which she did in mid-November. Her funeral was the Saturday before Thanksgiving, and then it was the holidays.

I've started to ease back into my program. I'm not following it as scrupulously as I'd like, but I'm being pretty conscientious about tracking every handful of Cheez-Its I eat. I'm not that far off program now and I'm improving every week.

My resolution for 2012 was to consolidate the gains (weight loss and good habits) I made in 2011 and perhaps add some strength training to my walking/biking. I believe I'm on track.

And I'm still as miserly as ever.
