So, we can say goodbye to January, the month that millions of folks vow to lose weight and get in shape. We are entering February, the month that people sell/give away their workout gear that is starting to gather clothes and detritus. Judging from the Atlanta Craigslist, which features several new workout systems daily, I am on track to acquire a cheap workout system for my son by Valentine’s Day. There were no deals to be had before Christmas, so he just got some barbells. There are several systems now for free or $1, presumably just to get them out of the basement.
How are your resolutions going this year? Did you make any?
Play songs about success or failure. I mean, sure some people are successful at the Jan/Feb transition, right?
Here is this week’s playlist:

Getting to the gym and working out has never been a problem for me. It’s my forays to the fridge for liquid and food that do me in. I actually got better as January winded down. I’m back to my pre-Christmas weight. I can definitely go a little further.

I’ve been easing back into my routine. I lost discipline last September and basically maintained my weight until about December, when it started creeping back up.
So I started up again a couple of weeks ago with eating proper breakfast and lunches again, drinking more water, exercising once per day, reducing snacking, and cutting back on alcohol (horrors!). So far, so good.
In 2017, I didn’t start my regimen until April and my weight was fully out of control by then with a BMI of 27.7. Last year, I resumed in March when my BMI was 27.2 and did great until the aforementioned September slacking. At the end of August, my BMI was a healthy 23.2.
Since I’m getting back on track and it’s just now February and my BMI today is 24.8 (just within “normal” range), Seems I’m finally starting to get the yo-yo effect relatively under control. The bitch is not drinking wine, beer, and whiskey all the time while also getting at least a quick workout in each day.
I’m feeling good about this year.
As for New Year’s Resolutions, I didn’t make any. I suppose I could blog more. I don’t know.

So did anybody see the big game? Tom Brady is just that good, but apparently still evil, and Spongebob got screwed. But here’s what could have been:
