Let us know how it goes rad. Planning on doing it yourself at home? A gym? Personal trainers?

Back from the doctor. He thinks it's a strain of something I can't spell so I won't bother.

In other news I've lost another 10 lbs. Puts me at 40 lbs from about 18 months ago. I know it's not huge and it should probably be triple that by now but 40lbs is a lot for me.

The elliptical in the basement for now. Binge watch stuff on netflix. There is a nice gym close by, maybe once I get back into a routine. Would love to do some laps in a pool again.

And congrats, dreamer - 40 lbs is a great accomplishment.

I am thinking about it. A little science experiment, see how it feels, ditch some calories in a month I am often less active, king of the castle bs. Thought about it last year too.

non-joking, i do enjoy the break from booze although to be fair, the last 10 days or so can be a little irritating (depending on all those various life issues/scenarios/stressers etc) and sometimes i want to continue to push it further into february (as to date i haven't, after...at least 4 years of doing this). i also always find that the first sip of whatever tastes "foreign" (almost poisonous) to my system after all that time (but im a lightweight). but it's a tradition between me and my father at this point so i'm used to it and look forward to it (to a degree, hah).

and, full disclosure, i don't stop my herbal fondness during janurary so i am a hypocrite. but i do have a heart of gold.

and, hah, im drinking booze like water these last few days of the year (though i probably won't have anything on the 31st; dont want the hangover to start the year)

do it freed!

[expletive] [expletive] [expletive]. Another [expletive] setback. Came down with a UTI with swollen gonad thrown in for [expletive] and giggles. Can barely bend over much less exercise. This better clear up by next week. Do not want to start 2016 on the [expletive] DL.

There you go. Think about it. Just don't do it.
