I had some good ones:

(1) Reached a maintenance area (still making adjustments)

(2) Dropped 2% body fat while holding weight constant in the back half of the month

(3) Have gone all-in now on exercise

(4) Training for 10k with my only goal: To run the whole d**n thing with no walking (not there yet)

such a good idea. January for me is a yucky month. But on the good side, down 6#, ordered a total gym for home, should be here tomorrow Back to exercise club twice a week. Another pile of clothes to go to goodwill or Salvation Army. Have a great Feb. all.
