Just when I want to get back in gear, I get sick again. I’m finally getting over it now after seeing the doc, so I’m hoping to hit the ground running again quickly.

Its been a very trying last couple of weeks.  I’m falling behind a little in a couple of areas.  Time to put the nose to the grindstone and catch back up.

Socialist at Heart

I decided today that I’m a socialist.  This doesn’t mean I want our country to become a socialist state, but I believe in the socialist ideals.  The socialism that first comes to mind (government setting everybody’s wages, telling people when and where they can get medical treatment) is not what I am talking about, this [...]

Overall I’m doing well and have almost made it through February and still working on my goals.  Since most goals/resolutions are forgotten by Valentine’s Day, the fact that I am still working toward them even if I’m not fully meeting some of them is an accomplishment in itself.

Still going strong!  I’m tending to slack off a little on my blogging goal though, so I need to be careful there.

We’ve filed our taxes and are eagerly awaiting our return so we can apply a majority of it towards our Debt Snowball and take a significant jump towards our goal.  We have however decided to take a portion of it and upgrade our TV.  We’re currently using a 27″ CRT style that we bought shortly [...]

I’m feeling very good about my progress this week.  I was home sick yesterday so I ate more sodium (threw off my weight) and watched more TV than normal, but that is an exception, not the rule.  Overall I did well if yesterday is factored out.

It was all over the news Tuesday that Tom Daschle had announced he “neglected” to pay nearly $150K in Federal income taxes, but he was sorry.  He was still in the running for Health and Human Services Secretary, and still had the support of our new president, Barack Obama.  Yesterday he announced he is bowing [...]

Where did January go? It seems like it was only yesterday that I was mulling over the goals I wanted to set, and now I’ve made it almost 10% through the year and doing well with my goals.  Don’t most goals get dropped sometime in February?  I’m not going to be that statistic this year.

Four weeks in, I can’t believe it has been a month.  Overall I’m doing wonderful, though I’m a little frustrated with my weight.  I’m following the program, I know what I’m eating and burning thanks to the Bodybugg I wrote about yesterday, yet I’m on a plateau.
