Time to get some order and balance?

I am optimistically looking forward to 2016.  I am finally getting a great staff of direct reports who are significant assets at work.  Major projects that have required so much attention are nearing completion.  Overall, my work should be routine by the end of March.   The average number is 40-45 hours weekly, with weekends off.  The average has been over 60-hour weeks and a rare weekend off for the past five years.  For 2015, I had less than 23 days off, including holidays and weekends.  That is right, of the 115 days a year that are Holidays, Saturday or Sunday, I worked 92 of them.  We were still behind!  I also lost over three weeks of vacation!

Well, the reduction in stress means I should lose some weight.  Also, should I have time to work out?  You see, when stressed, I eat poorly and gain weight quickly.  On January 1, I topped out at 313.7 pounds.  I have not been that high since my teens.  My last high, in 2005, was 299 pounds.

Well, after 10 days, I stepped on the scale, and it was:

Yep, 307.1.  So that means without working out much and just watching what I eat, I dropped 6.5 pounds in 10 days.  I did get a 1-mile walk with a 0.5-mile jog and two indoor cycle rides into the last 10 days.  That is nice, yet I wonder how it would have been better with regular workouts.  Either way, I am on an upbeat track and hope this continues.

One thought was that it would be nice to have a yoga partner to help restore balance and core strength to a respectable level.  Could I train the dogs to join me?

Prayers for continued success and time of the trials in 2016?

Carry on, my friends, carry on!
