Winter 2014 January 6 Monday

16 degrees this morning.  A slight wind made it seem cooler, but no snow etc, so it was cold.  Exercised this morning (including walking outside) but did not ride the bike outside.  It's not really that bad.
Strange occurrence yesterday, looked at "Brookstone" for a keyboard and then went to Facebook.  Lo and behold, an ad (they call it a "sponsored post" or something like that) popped on my timeline for a keyboard from Brookstone!  Really crreeped me out and I decided I wasn't going to buy anything from Brookstone.  That is even worse than Amazon.com's creepy "suggestions" which almost never make any sense as something I would be interested in.  Sometimes when you buy an item, (one that you wouldn't buy another one for a long time, if at all), they will keep e-mailing you about sales on that item!  Crrepy, even though I realize that no human being  actually is involved.
Monday, the official end of the "Holidays" and the real start of 2014, as far as work activities go.  I am committing myself to work my normal schedule etc. I haven't changed my exercise schedule and intend on setting up an office here depending on what happens.
I am starting to notice the days "getting longer", which helps me create a positive frame of mind, knowing that Spring and Summer are coming, although probably the worst of  Winter will be in the next two months.
I am +16 libs on my weight goal.  I decided to establish a new goal, now that I have been at my current weight for a year (a 45 lb loss).  I will make a note of how much I have to lost every Monday.  In fact, I will make it a separate post (right after this one)
I'm not sure how long I have been keeping this daily on-line journal now, but it has been long enough it is a habit.
