Congrats on making it through last year!
My friend has a t-shirt that says

Try staggering games to stay consistent.
Let me know if you want to brainstorm weightloss ideas.
Ice cream substitute: Skim milk (REALLY COLD) with frozen berries of your choice (only thawewd enough to mush & eat) and zero-cal sweetener of your choice (tons of it).
