wow haven't posted an update for a while.
the holidays brought lots of snacking and sweets. i survived pretty well, weight-wise, until just after xmas. the weather was prety bad, and i got no exercise at all for a couple of weeks.
and i ate most of the super-yummy chocolate cake that my wonderful wife made for my birthday.

so i'm clocking in at about 180 lbs. all in all a successful year, considering i was just shy of 200 lbs a year ago. looking forward to a year of maintenance and maybe trying to exchange some fat for muscle. but i'm not holding my breath.
