Another attempt at weight loss. Such a clichéd resolution but I am nevertheless committed and this time I know what to do different from last time in October-November where I only maintained my weight. Completely fell back into old habits of way too much chips and candy in December because of a holiday and couldn't leave it behind when I got home. I gained 3 kg in one month which.. yikes. So I have twice as long to go. Hopefully about ½ kg a week. I will still use the same method of counting calories but I think I overestimated how much I burn in a day as my goal back then was 1500 per day. So I will cut portions even more than I did back then, and I also researched how much the same amount of calories different foods makes you gain, so hopefully this time it works better.

Not because the New Year was on my mind, i have many things I’d like to work on. First being more dedicated to working on my personal YouTube channel, not sure what the actual quantitative goal is yet, but still. I also want to just be a better person and try to remain calm as we continue to face existential dread, I feel like that’s one of the very real solutions right now. Other than that, eating healthy after the cookies and wine season is coming to an end!!
I’m trying a couple of things - I’ve been pretty successful with resolutions in the past that are framed around removing one thing from my life for a year. This year I want to try to be better at...
I’m trying a couple of things - I’ve been pretty successful with resolutions in the past that are framed around removing one thing from my life for a year.
This year I want to try to be better at some things, while respecting that it’s going to be a difficult one. I want to get better at regular physical activity, at journaling, and at presenting information to people. I’ve thought about ways to make these goals SMART goals, but I want to be cautious here. I have a habit of setting really high expectations for myself, then being disappointed when I don’t have the stamina to follow through all the way.
So, my primary resolution is to be kinder to myself, and set some healthier expectations. A secondary goal may be to avoid saying “sorry” without some serious thought beforehand.
I plan on making progress on physical activity and journaling, but I recognize that I don’t know what a reasonable goal is yet. That feels like solid progress!
If anyone has a suggestion on a goal for physical activity, I’m open to considering them!
Something I've always found useful for physical activity is to combine it with something where I'm learning, so it doesn't get boring. Maybe make your physical goal something like learning judo,...

Happy New Year!
Last night was the first Hogmanay in a long, long time that I didn't make the bells. Me, my partner and daughter have all managed to catch this horrible flu thing that's doing the rounds so I was asleep by half eight last night and now I've woken up feeling a lot better but with no voice whatsoever so I'm struggling to catch a break.
So, what are we doing with that? New Year’s resolutions?
Nope, no resolutions! Happier and healthier not putting the weight of everything on January

Kids are horrendous germ factories.
Question, are we celebrating the revolution of the sun today (at midnight specifically). Or is it on your birthday? Or both?
One of my in-laws was born on Jan 1. The running family joke is that the Mummer parade (live stream) is in honor of their birthday.
One year I’ll end up going, gotta not stay up till 2 on the eve if I want the energy to actually attend lol
