New Goals

Goal A: waist below 35"
Goal B: reduce belly fat
Goal C: get off all High Blood pressure pills
Goal D: go hiking and walking more
Overall Goal: enjoy more life

Simple Goals rules & guidelines

I really don't do a resolution list every year. I tend to define a goal and figure out how to get there. I do have some guidelines & rules.

For example:  a gave up Krispy Kreme donuts, I can have them every 4-6 mo.
Rules:  don't eat donuts just b/c I can.
Think about it, walk away, and think some more.

Guidelines: buy as many as you want, eat your donuts and give the rest away.

Result: Majority of donuts don't really taste that great. Eating a special donut becomes a real treat and a sugar shock.
I don't feel bad. My cholesterol has gone down. 

Goal 1A reached

Goal A: Waist below 35"
Reason: According to experts, this is one of the risk reductions of preventing Type 2 Diabetes.

As of today, I now have a 35" waist, therefore I have reached Goal A1.

Conclusion: just a smidge more to go!
