Year 3 Week 1 Day 1

Have I ever mentioned my odd obsession with dates and time intervals? This started in June on 2009, Year 1. Then 2010 is Year 2 and now we're in Year 3. However, June of 2009 thru January of 2011 is only eighteen months. All this to say that eighteen months in and I'm not thrill with where I am at, but I am glad to see that I haven't back slid as much as I imagined.

The other crazy date interval thing I go around with is that I graduated from high school four decades ago. Now I am only forty years old so that seems impossible yet the year was 1989, the Eighties, then the Nineties, the Zeros(?) and now the Ones to get four decades.

Basically all this to say that numbers don't lie but they don't always say the same thing to everyone and they can be twisted. Ask an Economist if you doubt that.

Here are the numbers:

Weights and Measures:
	Weight	Blood P.	Hips	Gut	Chest	Neck	Bicep	Wrist	Thigh	Calf	Ankle	Pulse
End Goal	200.00	110/70	38.00	36.00	42.00	16.00	18.00	7.00	27.00	20.00	9.00	60.00
August '11	260.00	130/80	40.00	40.00	46.00	17.00	18.00	7.50	27.50	19.00	10.00	65.00
12/13/2010	314.60	143/90	49.75	55.25	56.00	19.00	17.50	7.75	28.50	18.50	11.00	77.00
1/3/2011	317.00	154/98	47.75	54.75	55.50	19.25	17.25	8.00	28.50	18.50	10.50	76.00

To Aug Goal:	57.00	-24/-18	7.75	14.75	9.50	2.25	(0.75)	0.50	1.00	(0.50)	0.50	11.00
6/21/2009	350.00
12/26/2009	319.00

So you can see that at best I managed to maintain my weight through 2010. Nothing to crow about but at least I didn't have to break out the fat clothes that are hidden in the closet.

I think I am settling on the Xbov Kinect for my new-fangled weight loss and exercise program. Can't wait to pick that up this week. I'll add the information that gets tracked there on here.

I'll update my fiscal goals next week because I haven't pulled those numbers together yet, but I feel good about where I am at going into 2011. I am cutting Cable and Home Phone in January and I doubt I'll miss them. My Cell Phone contract is done in June and I am looking for a cheaper, less functional option. That's about it, more treading water, paying down bills and still looking at 2012 earliest to go home shopping if that's what I want.

Unless I win the lottery.

Then it's lipo, mansions and booze-fueled orgies in 2011. w00t!

Later,
