Not really.

Been a shit year for me with 4 injuries so I just want to heal and up get back to lifting heavy shit while I still can.



And maybe buy a new house....that's not really a resolution, just a strong want.

To try to be a little more grumpy and bitter.

I really feel like I can nail it this year.

Sort of a resolution to continue my "self-improvement" program started a few months ago. Losing some weight, & riding our exercise bike every morning. And less alcohol. Down ~25 lbs so far, & blood pressure has gone down.

Mine is to finish "fixing" my deck.

In 2016, my wife wanted me to replace some of the floor boards that were starting to look pretty bad. If I knew then what I know now, I would have paid a professional to knock that ****er to the ground and build a new one. But as usual, hindsight is 20/20.

I just have to put balusters on the railing, replace one more post/footing, stain, and I'm done. I have more or less piece by piece rebuilt the entire deck except the joists over the last 4+ years, including about a 6 month hiatus for giving myself a terrible herniated disc in the process.

Never made any in the past, so no reason to start now.

Happy New Year everyone.
Can't be much worse than the past year, hopefully.

Since December 2019, I am down over 80lbs. I run a 5k+ pretty much daily, and do a variety of body weight exercises along with lifting and a clean diet.

I went from a big fat soft couch potato to having the body of an athlete.


Need to curb my drinking, that's about it.
