My New Years memories are wearing fancy dresses, dancing, eating traditional foods, and kissing everyone at midnight when they played Al Lang Syne. Then driving home in a car where everyone was drunk and it seems like the drunkest person was always the one driving. We survived all that craziness and now New Years is a quiet night at home and I will go to bed by 10:00.
It is a cold and rainy day here today and it feels good to be inside looking out.
Happy New Year everyone!

Happy New Year! I'm at work like normal but it's all good. I hope everyone's new years celebrations are safe and fun! Let's bring joy and happiness to 2025!

Hello everybody!
I'm off to a late start today because I had a doctor's appointment this morning. Scheduling a doctor on New Year's Eve was a little crazy, but I guess it had its good side also. I will do my official post-holiday weigh in on Monday 1/6, but the damage doesn't look to be more than a couple of pounds. I will take that.
Our plans for the next couple of days are mostly football, friends and Alaskan King Crab tonight. Aside from a trip to the gym tomorrow, I don't plan to stray very far from home.
Happy New Year and a wonderful 2025!

Hi gang. Late post for me. We've been wandering around New York city all day. A quick break and we're going out to dinner. The crowds here are bananas. It's like three football stadiums emptied out into the streets all at once.
QOTD: I always have goals, but I've never tied them to the New Year. I'd just like to end this year at the same weight I'm starting it.
we always had a lot of returnees in OH in January. I wouldn't be surprised to see some, still.

Good afternoon on this last week of 2024! I have quite a few projects. I'm in the middle of at work, so it should go by pretty fast.

I remember the long lines at Weigh****chers the week after New Year's when we all went back to our diets. That would last until about March. Now I make resolutions on a daily basis. As I get older, I find it is important to still set goals and have things to look forward to. It is all one day at a time and do my best to stay as healthy and active as possible.

I had surgery over 20 years ago so not sure that these books are still relevant but my favorites were from Carnie Wilson - Gut Feelings and I'm Still Hungry. They really helped during my journey!

Good morning, everybody!
I'm off of wor****il Thursday. This has been a nice break. if there is going to be a day when a lot of work stuff comes up, it will be today, but so far, so good. I had to take care of one thing on Friday evening/Saturday morning, but it wasn't more than an hour and a half of work to do.
The weekend was relaxed, after the gym on Saturday, I went to the outlet mall and walked around. I only went in three stores and didn't get anything, but it was a beautiful day for a walk. I had seen this black watch tartan evening jacket that I was interested in for holiday parties, but the store only had sizes 38 and 40. Oh, well. Last evening, Marilyn and I went out to dinner at a greek place in town. Marilyn had Moussaka and I had a fish and potato dinner. I have plenty of leftovers for lunch today.
We aren't big New Year's Eve people (Is anybody?), but we will go to Costco today and get some crab to boil for our sons tomorrow night. Other than that gym and a few other errands.
QOTD: I have goals but they aren't tied to the New Year. I think that this year I am going to try the International Distance for the Chicago Triathlon (1 mile swim/25 mile bike/10K run). Last year I did the Sprint distance. Fortunately, I wont be doing it on a 25 year old Huffy that was 4 inches too small for me like last year.
Breakfast: Bagel
Lunch: Pizza
Dinner: leftover fish
Have a great day, all!
