Happy New Year!  So far, how is everything going for you this year?  Are you off to a good start in 2010 or are you looking for the reset button already?  Did you set goals for this year, laying out the things that you didn’t quite achieve in ‘09 or perhaps things that you’ve always intended to do but never seemed to accomplish?  Are you being true to those goals or are they slowly becoming the New Year’s Resolutions of 2011?  As for me, it might surprise you that I haven’t taken time to contemplate my goals for the new year.  I could easily create a dirty laundry list of plenty of things needing change in my life, especially if my wife were to help me, but I’m not quite there yet. ;)  It’s been a terribly busy month with work pouring out of our ears and playing tour guide for our house guest of three weeks.  In terms of diet, we’ve eaten out so much lately that I need to check myself into MSG rehab.  It’s been a challenging month with the impossible combination of work and home life [happily] interrupted; with so many things going on, our schedules haven’t been regular and naturally, the same is true of eating habits.  But this week we start fresh.  My wife is officially done with college, our house guest has returned to Taiwan (So nice to have you stay with us, Teresa!), the holidays are finally over, business is just as crazy, but things are getting back to normal.  So last night, I started the week off by taking laps around our neighborhood.  It’s a far cry from Iron Man training but it is certainly a step in the right direction.  It’s time to get moving and get back on track with eating right, too.  I do feel a little off as fruits and vegetables have taken a backseat to Styrofoam container takeout food, but it’s time to get back into gear.  I haven’t fallen but I have slipped down the slope of convenience, so it’s time for change, or else!  Speaking of which, I’m going to finish the day with more laps around the block, so I best be on my way!  I wish all of you the best in 2010.  Let’s take it one day at a time!!  Good luck!!
