That didn't last long. Screwed this one up in a most spectacular way.

Get my waistline probably not back to 30", but halt its expansion.
Last year's resolution--quitting nicotine--did a number on that.

- Alcohol moderation
- Social Media moderation
- Diet
- At least one 5k
- Floss more regularly

- Moderation isn’t really my thing.
- Moderation isn’t really my thing.

My main goals pb wise is finishing up anodizing projects. I THINK I have 8 project that need anodizing lmao
I got 1 Anodized, 2 more at Ruckus right now

My personal goals are to clean up my diet, I want to try to do super low carb, borderline carnivore
I held strong for the first 4 and a half months, dropped 50lbs, but been stagnate the last 2 months or so(hard to hold your diet strict when you go on vacation, have family and friends birthday parties, Beerfest) but im slowly getting back into my groove

and challenge myself to be more active daily,
was going good, but sustained a knee injury and been on the mend, so hopefully i can start jogging regularly by the end of summer

I would also like to try to do something that stimulates my mind without technology(read a book, paint, draw, meditate) for a minimum of 15mins daily
2.5ish out of 4 is a good in my book lol
