Notes

  1. This means I’m going to start meditating again and get back into my Buddhist studies. I want to be with my family. Be a good father and husband. In the present. Leave the past to the past.
  2. I’m going to drink at all until I don’t not drink. I turn 50 this year, and I’ve seen the consequences of alcohol on my father, so I know I need to cut back. I’ll see how long I can go without drinking this year, then, I’ll try to only drink on cheat days. No processed food. Low carbs. This will be tough. I will try. Thank goodness for cheat days.
  3. I need to get back to 150, then see if I can maintain something close. It’s getting increasingly more difficult to maintain an acceptable weight. Since I’ve been working out, I should be able to do this. Orange Theory will help, and I seem to have little difficulty keeping with that. Exercise isn’t the problem — eating and drinking is.
  4. Post something each day. This is for Henry.
  5. I don’t need anything material. Let’s spend on experiences and getting out of debt. I want to reaffirm my minimalist lifestyle.
