This year they didn\u2019t have the proper plans in place so we ended up getting fried chicken (a big plus) at Popeye\u2019s (usually not so bad). So not only didn\u2019t I make it to the gym, I went to the opposite of the gym. Did I eat sensibly? Of course not, I was at Popeye\u2019s. And I couldn&#8217;t not go to Il\u2019s birthday dinner, even if it was at Popeye\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>Did I mention that I weigh more than I ever have before? Oh well. My New Year\u2019s resolution is to do some yoga. I keep talking about it and even looked up some schedules for beginners classes. Maybe I\u2019ll even make it in the door.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every time I think about going to the gym more than a couple times a week, I seem to get sick.
