Gearing up for Winter

For many reasons this is the most difficult time of year to be healthy.

1. it's getting cold, so there is less motivation to do stuff outside
2. holidays make eating healthy more difficult
3. the end of the year means less sleep and more stress

i am back to my starting weight of 280. I have been going the gym sporadically and watching what i eat somewhat, but still gaining weight. I just wonder what would happen if i wasn't trying at all... Since this is a challenging time anyway and I want to keep this health thing going as well as possible, I am going to set my goals for a year from today. I have done a lousy job at being accountable and checking in every week. This is where i need your help. Each time that I start this challenge over, I learn a new lesson and learn that I need to take a step back and focus on the lowest common denominator. So, even if I am not being healthy, the least i can do is check in each monday. If I am not checking in, please send me a message and feel free to bug me. It is not anyone's job except mine, but if anyone wants to help me out this way I would really appreciate it. So... here we go again 280.
