Fulfilling Resolution Number One
So resolution number one is to update my blog more frequently. I’ve been very bad about keeping things up to date.
The first day of the New Year was interesting. To celebrate we drove over to the Sonic in Hillsboro, about 10-15 miles out, to get Sonic Drive thru. To the uninitiated, Sonic is designed like an old time car hop restaurant. You order on a speaker and they bring your food out to your car. They have all kinds of fast food, tasty drinks and deserts.
Moving to Portland, OR I’ve had to give up on certain food. Good Tex-Mex, Chick-Fil-A and, until recently, Sonic is not available. They opened one just a few months ago and it’s been packed for weeks. It’s the only one in the entire state.
I have to say I enjoyed it a great deal. I got two Jr. Burgers, a grilled cheese, tater-tots with cheese and a vanilla Dr. Pepper. It was glorious indeed. My oldest daughter was pretty stoked. Sonic was her favorite place to eat as a little girl. She told me to “give her five”. This is her new means of celebration. I said it in jest to her and she’s adopted it as a pet phrase.
Yesterday also marked the first day of my cutting and new exercise plan. I spent Oct-Dec bulking, and while I didn’t make all the gains I hoped, it’s time to get off some of the fat. I’d actually like to see the abs I’m working on. I’m shooting for about 2700 calories a day. I’m adding cardio to the mix and adding a few additional days of rest between weight lifting sessions. I think I was overtraining a bit in the fall.
I’m back at work today and totally not ready for it. I could have easily used another few days. I’m working closely with sales these days, so the end of the quarter and end of the year are a busy time. It sounds like we made our departmental goal and possibly our best case estimate goal. I hope this is reflected in my review next week. This is my first review after a year and a half working at this job. Granted, I’ve bounced through three departments over that time because of reorganizations.
