Time for a change and thanx for all the encouragement

So for quite a long time I've been writing about the trials and tribulations of staying healthy.  This involved eating right and getting exercise.  I've tried to be honest and record all the bumps and bruises as they've happened.

I've come to the conclusion that there needs to be a re-assessment of what I'm doing.  I've not lost any weight in over two years (230lbs) and I'm feeling the need to move that scale.

 This year (2014) has had it's set backs.  I had the hernia operation and then in the late fall ear infection that contributed to my diminished enthuisiasum for working out.  My eating stayed fairly normal but still caused the occasional problem with my weight.  I also think I had some lofty plans that may have sabotaged the basic idea of staying healthy.

What this means is I'm going to have to make some changes.  Not just in my eating or exercising but also the basic idea of what I hope to accomplish.

So for now this exchange of thoughts and ideas is going dark.  I plan on coming back strong and focused with the new year.  I won't be going back to every day posts but more consistently every week instead.  I also won't be posting specific foods (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) but more about what I did with those foods.  Again trying to make some changes in the attempt to attain the goals I set for myself four years ago when I started this journey.

If you're reading this now, take a break and come back in Jan '15.  I'll be here once again attempting to make sense of staying healthy and living longer.
