After months of absence and inactivity I think it is appropriate that I return. Much has transpired since my last posts here at the end of the summer. First and foremost, happy new year. With the new year comes resolutions and other commitments.
My biggest resolution is exercising more and losing weight. Eating healthy and sticking to a diet regimen. It is common knowledge that by February, most of these resolutions fall by the wayside and people revert to their old habits. I, however, have been pretty successful in maintaining my goals over the years.
Now, temptation seems to be more difficult to thwart. I guess the reason that I have been able to keep more of my resolutions is that I generally do not make them too difficult so that they are achievable.
Most of my dietary resolutions are attainable because they are medicinally necessary for my well being. For example, I cannot start eating cheeseburgers or any dairy products for that matter. People often ask me how I am able to get my calcium. I tell them that I get it the same way that cows do. By eating grass.
My diet also restricts me from eating red meat, so me gorging myself on a porterhouse is not an option anyways. I consider it a blessing in disguise not being able to eat rich, fatty foods. Those types of foods can really be a knockout punch to your diet.
I conclude by saying, "keep your goals achievable, and restrictions limited". In that way you will be able to stay on the path throughout the year.
One for the road...
I'm back in the saddle again
Ridin' into town alone
By the light of the moon...
