"Youth is when you're allowed to stay up late on New Year's Eve. Middle age is when you're forced to. " ~Bill Vaughn
This is the 365th post to this blog. As I said in the beginning of this year, I didn't guarantee weight loss for you or for me.
I believe I am as hefty today as I was on January 1, 2011. When I got on the scale at the gym I weighed in at 217. When I got on the scale at home I weighed 214. Give or take three pounds, I'm maybe a pound or two less than I started the year.
Today concludes my daily posts to this blog. This post will conclude my ramblings about dieting and exercising. I wish everyone a happy and healthy New Year!

Thinking of next year
"Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let each new year find you a better man. " ~Benjamin Franklin
Another year almost gone and thinking to myself what should I accomplish in 2012. I haven't a clue. At the moment I have a sinus headache and I really don't care about much of anything.
Perhaps I will feel better tomorrow or maybe next year.

Writing letters
"You must write your first draft with your heart. You rewrite with your head." ~ Finding Forrester
Today, after all the work involved in getting the lights down outside, I found time to sit down to write my annual letters to the boys. I write the letters and then mail the letters do that they are post marked with this years date. I plan to give these letters when they graduate from high school.

What a day
"Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn't matter to me. Going to bed at night saying we've done something wonderful, that's what matters to me." ~ Steve Jobs
What a day! I worked up a sweat tearing down all six of the Christmas trees in the house. I am wiped out.

Birthday Calorie Finale
"Keep Christmas in your heart all year long. It will leave less room for cholesterol!" ~ Randy
The birthday and hopefully the holiday overrating comes to an end this evening with a 1,000 calorie entree from the Olive Garden.

The day after
"Christmas is forever, not for just one day, for loving, sharing, giving, are not to put away like bells and lights and tinsel, in some box upon a shelf. The good you do for others is good you do yourself. " ~ Norman Wesley Brooks, "Let Every Day Be Christmas," 1976
Fun, fun, fun day. I love the day after Christmas.
Mom, Paula and I kick started the day with shopping. By afternoon I was at the gym working out. I could have ate better - Hamburgers and Pizza - however I was pleased I found time to exercise.

Run, eat and eat some more
December 25
Great little One! whose all-embracing birth
Lifts Earth to Heaven, stoops Heaven to Earth.
~Richard Crashaw
I turned 42 today.
I kick started the day with a short run. I should have ran for hours especially since I ate entirely too much today.
I did try to contain myself. I only had a half of a cinnamon role at breakfast and one serving of the egg casserole. For lunch, I filled my plate with more green beans and salad and smaller portions of carbs. I did have a generous helping of the brownie truffle dessert and a small slice of Red Carpet cake. It was the candy sitting around the house that put me over the edge. I couldn't refuse the bite size Baby Ruth candy bars.
Oh well, the scale was kind to me this morning. I weighed less than I was earlier this week. I also weighed a tad less than I did last Christmas. And I do mean tad...as in five, six, seven pounds less.
