Doing well. I am a bit tired, I need to lose weight mainly because I have arthritis. Ten pound goals per month or six-week increments are not unreasonable - one just has to stop eating enormous amounts of food three to six times a day, three small meals a day is enough. I hope to be down to 210 or 215 lbs. by May or June and it is totally possible. It is not unreasonable. I will likely cut carbs back dramatically after the holiday season is over. There are so many hidden calories. In egg nog - just a large glass of it can have way over 500 calories, which is insane, so I will not buy it. I do not eat ice cream. I got a New Year's Eve dinner with apple pie, after that - no more sweets. I am not much for sweets anyway. Next week I hope to get back to the gym again to get swimming again regularly. Happy New Year everyone - 2016 already. The years go by fast. As one ages, they lose family and friends - too many. If one had told me a decade ago how many people I know who would have passed on I would have never believed it. My mom died of cancer in 2014. This was the first full calendar year with her gone. Life goes on, for the living. And the young, there always be the young - to overtake the older - but they too if they're lucky to live long enough will age too and will see the younger generations take over in time. I am 53 now, and noticed particularly this year commercials are of people young enough to be my children - portraying parents too often.
