Yeah, weight is a challenge for me, and probably for most people our age, Chris. I think you did tremendously well last year, and your “backslide” seems quite understandable and probably manageable. You have a fairly active job and seem to like working in your yard at home, both of which are good things to burn some calories. If you could find something to do during the cold months that didn’t cause you too much discomfort you’d be set.

The challenge for me year round is finding activities that burn some calories and don’t a) hurt my joints; b) make me feel like Sysiphus, constantly pushing a rock up a hill only to have it roll back down. Normally I feel like the downsides to exercise outweigh the up. Hopefully the new things I’m trying will bear some fruit.

2011 may turn out tho be a really great year: if nothing else, I expect that it will throw some surprises our way 😉
