Hope everyone had as good a Christmas as I did.  The diet took a big hit as I was a very bad boy.  I am back on the road for the end of this week but will be home all of next week.

Got back on track with the diet last night.  When I get home I will start the exercise regime back up again.  The good news is that my belt is still at the third hole and did not have to move to the second.

Lunch was a patty melt and yes I ate the rye bread.  Dinner was even worse.  Went to  a new place for me, Pancake City.  Great menu, reasonalbe prices.  Went for the eggs and Chicken Fried Steak and am paying for it this morning.  I am so bloated and my guts are complaining.  Hope I learn my lesson.

Last night I took my oldest to see the Hobbit in 3D.  I think they did a wonderful job but my daughter thought it was just OK.  I could have done without the 3D, my eyes were watering halfway through the movie.  My bro-in-law has the Lord of the Ring Trilogy so I may borrow it for my daughters amusement next week.

I have no plans for New Years' Eve and that is all right.  Going to bed early and relaxing New Year's Day is my plan.  We will see what the wife have in store for me.

Other than diet and exercise, I find that relaxation (including sleep) has added more enjoyment to my life.  I spend a lot of my free time reading or listening to books on tape.  By skipping television, I have more free time on my hands than I know what to do with.  A good book on tape loaded onto my iPod can help me keep busy while shopping, walking, etc.

Current book I am reading is Eye Yoga.  Current book on tape is Towers of Midnight.  You can track my reading on Goodreads.com.  Look for me, Kenn Anderson, and become my friend.
