Be prepared to realize you eat a lot of crap. 😉 Oh we all say “I don’t eat healthy” but we don’t truly *know* it.

I put 5 lbs back on when winter hit: as soon as it got cold and dark I got hungry and craved fattier foods. And the Holidays added another 5, though that’s already being reduced. I suspect the 5lb of winter weight will hang around until we get sunlight and warmer weather that shifts my body’s hormone balance back.

I’m not particularly upset about those 10 pounds because I know how, when and why the weight came on, and it is still under control. Just like you don’t worry about getting bad gas mileage if you know you’ve been towing a trailer. It won’t be winter forever and I’ve already stopped stuffing holiday treats. I know the other 30 some pounds aren’t coming back and that this 10 will go away.

Oh yeah, happy new year and happy birthday – Old guy! :p
