Woohoo, I got back to seattle yesterday.  I spent Wed-Sun back home in good’ol Walla x2.  And I couldn’t be more happy to be back in Seattle.  I finally noticed that I’ve reached the point where when I “go back home”, I feel like I’m actually away from home. 

My Mom’s house is like a foreign place now, I can’t find the light switches in the dark anymore and the bed I slept on for the majority of my childhood and then some seems small and unusual.  Does it make me strange or weird to not feel at home where I grew up?

But yeah, the point is, i’m back, Thanksgiving is over and I could barely button my work pants this morning.  Oops, I’m fat and I needs diet and exercise.  Awfully american of me don’t ya think? 

Anyway, I chose not to wear a belt today, seeing as there was no need.  My pants did a fine job keeping themselves up.  But the good part was, through out my day dreams today, I realized that it was a monday, and the first of a new month, which is the perfect time to set new goals.  So here they are. 

diet:

cut WAY back on the sugars, since thats like 85% of my diet that will be rough. 

Try to stop eating and stick the rest of my meal in the fridge so I can cut my portions in half. 

No beer for an entire month! 

This kind of goes with the no sugars thing but I am gonna try to drink way less soda, which may be the hardest one. 

And while I’m at it i was thinking of buying a bunch of vitamins for like at least a months worth and getting one of those little cases with the boxes for each day of the week. 

I don’t think I can cut back on meat.  If someone tries to take beef, pork or chicken away from me, there’s  gonna be problems.  But I was thinking of trying to eat MORE vegetables to compensate?

And next will be exercise.  But I’m tired so I’ll type that tomorrow!  Stay tuned for the next exciting episode!
