This blog is usually where I report where I&#8217;ve slept and what I&#8217;ve been doing exercise-wise. I&#8217;m working on the sleeping list but it&#8217;s gotten sidelined because I&#8217;ve been doing so much actual <em>sleeping<\/em>. <\/p>\n<p>While Kate and Ned and Jim all got full-blown versions of The Crud, I seem to have a version that is 30% of the strength but lasts three times as long. Nothing bad, just mild achiness, sleepiness and always feeling a little muzzyheaded\/dizzy. So I&#8217;ve been taking it easy. I changed <a href=\"http:\/\/vermontjp.tumblr.com\/\">the Justice of the Peace blog<\/a> from daily to &#8220;irregular&#8221; which seems like an okay move. I&#8217;ve been drinking lots of tea and getting to bed early. I&#8217;ve been eating healthily but haven&#8217;t gotten back to the gym yet.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/jessamyn.com\/journal\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Screen-shot-2013-01-03-at-4.15.04-PM.jpg\" alt=\"my fitness plan graph of minutes exercised\" title=\"Screen shot 2013-01-03 at 4.15.04 PM\" width=\"729\" height=\"297\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-867\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The good news is that thanks to keeping track of food and exercise on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myfitnesspal.com\/jessamynwest\">MyFitnessPal<\/a> (and some concerted effort on my part) I lost the 20 pounds I was aiming for by the end of last year. For people who haven&#8217;t seen me in a few years, I look the same as I used to, just not the same as I did last year, if that makes sense. Additionally, thanks to to soap opera lure of Downton Abbey and my routine of only watching it while on the treadmill, I&#8217;ve got a pretty good exercise routine down (though looking for good one hour series to watch, suggestions?). The days are getting longer. I did not get demoted in my online trivia league, for once. There&#8217;s snow on the ground and it looks like real winter here. I got to see a lot of friends and family over holidaytime but without it feeling like a forced march. I finished a few long books that I really enjoyed.<\/p>\n<p>I had a really long list of Shit To Do at the beginning of last year and I&#8217;m pretty certain I have done all the things on that list that were doable by me (as opposed to, say, by a team of lawyers and accountants) so I&#8217;m forgiving if I haven&#8217;t started 2013 in a blaze of energy. I&#8217;ve got to find some time to think out some new goals, new plans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jessamyn.com\/journal\/2013\/01\/hello-new-year\" rel=\"bookmark\" title=\"Permalink to Hello New Year\"><p>So I&#8217;ve been writing up new book and library oriented New Year&#8217;s posts over at librarian.net and you can read them there.
