The aftermath and the power of denial

Yes while on vacation I stayed active. But I also ate a ton. Cuban bread with cheese for breakfast. Roast Pork, fried pork, stewed pork and more pork. I gained a few pounds. Since then I'm back on track and eliminated all the foods that caused me problems. It's easy, I'm not around them.

I have lost at least four pounds since I got back and feeling good. In retrospect, I should have been more careful. It's tough to get rid of these unwanted pounds but very doable. Looking forward to my next workout.

Speaking of resolustions

I was on vacation in Florida from December 15th, 2008 till January 5th, 2009. I did not want to gain weight on this vacation. I took my Kettlebell on the trip and filled it with sand and pebbles.  Used it at the beach, the hotel, my wife's cousins'  home, played baseball, ran at the beach, walked and laughed a lot.

I'm decompressing right now. We'll see how successful I was. Clothing still fits so this Friday I'll weigh in.

New Year's Resolutions

I'm not a fan of New Year's resolutions. I do however believe that resolutions with actions to back up your goals are very effective.

So last year, about November, I'm implemented a tip on simplifying e-mail. No need to wait for the dreaded new year date. So everything goes to one box forwarded from the many other e-mails boxes I have. How did I ended up with Hotmail, Google, Att , Verizon, Yahoo mail plus others I can't remember, I'll never know.

The good news is that I've gone to the ones I remember and forward them to one box. No more going to different sites to get info.

Now to tackle RSS feeds.
