No, falling off the wagon doesn’t do it justice…I not only fell off the wagon, but the wagon flipped over in a ditched and burned down and took an entire village with it.

 

Basically, I have been sucking at life.

 

So I did the American thing and made a New Years resolution.

 

1. I will eat less carbs.  I once tracked my carbs for a couple of weeks and I realized that even though my calories where in good range my carb intake was extremely high.

2. I will participate in my works things that’s get us to walk more. (so far I’ve walked over 18,000 since Tuesday! ) I want to work up to 10,000 a day.

3. Pretty much any kind of exercise will do at this point.  I think you get to a point where your so fat, that you just need to do something, even if it’s small in retrospect.

4. Get organized. I don’t know about any one else, but when my life is cluttered, I can’t think about anything else but the clutter.

5. Get my financial life in order…(but wait….that’s not a “health goal,” why did you add it?) Thanks for asking imaginary commenter.  Last year I tracked what I spent.  I spent close to $250 on food/snack that where not purchased at the grocery store for meal.  If I bought my lunch at work, I included this into the “fast food” category because I didn’t prepare it.  So my thought process is this, if I in theory cut my food budget significantly down, I can in turn use that “found” money to pay some credit card bills and student loan bills.  It really a win win.

 

5 goals that seem very attainable 🙂

 

So right now I’m 19 days into January. I weight 417, that’s down from 428 that I weighed myself on January 1, 2011.

Debt is at 8,752. (starting point)

I’ve cleaned out one closet and my bedroom so far. I donated/threw away approximately 8 bags of cloths and junk.

 

So almost 20 days in and I have had reasonable outcome.

 

Here’s to a better 2012 🙂
