That's an idea. Maybe I need to start making lists. I wonder if they have a computer program that nags for you...

My resolution was to make more meaningful comments on LJ. I hope I am doing it right.

I have been listing for about a year now. Today I am resorting to buying magic eraser boards for the more "important" things on the lists. These aren't for groceries or budgets but things like (for me) "talk LESS, listen MORE" and "a smile on your face makes you Less abrasive and MORE approchable." I am stuck on the More and Less list now, but it changes in cycles and never in ruts.

Part of this came from watching "Shaun of the Dead" and his dry-erase board list. "Sort out life" indeed!

Getting in shape is definitely a better goal than losing weight.

Not the least reason is that more muscle mass has a higher upkeep cost, so you burn more calories even if you don't do anything, and of course more muscle means more calories burned for the same activities.

So if you're in good shape, losing weight is much easier. If you're not, and you're not in your early 20s anymore, and you try to lose weight, you will actually get more out of shape in the process.

Being in shape has innumerable benefits. Being fit but overweight is better than vice versa.

Oh, totally. I just have no muscle tone at all, and it's just pathetic the things I have difficulty lifting. Now, I need a motivation delivery ...

Here is a very good cure re: Lean Pockets

1) Eat nothing but Lean Pockets for a week straight
2) I am conjecturing that at the end of the week, you will be cured

This is in the experimental stages but there is a lot of medical precedent to back it up (see Donald Duck forces Huey, Dewie, and Louie to smoke 10 boxes of cigars)

I dunno. They're awfully good. I'll just eat the barbecue ones for a week; those are nasty enough to make anyone hate everythign.
