Unlike Mr. Johnson my goals do not currently revolve around bulk, however the statement is so true.
It's completely not like me to plan ahead like this, but I want to start buying things I will need for the summer. I updated my goals page yesterday, and that's when it hit me that it's only 3 months before I can start riding my bike, and not much after that hiking will begin. If I wait until May I wont be prepared, and it was a lack of equipment that stopped me from doing several things with my chum last summer. Don't want to make that mistake again. I need to get:
I am going to try to get through the year with my current bike, but it has some issues. I'll take it in for service and see how it's looking. There is a huge number of bike enthusiasts in Canmore, so if I need a new bike I may try to go the route of a better quality used bike rather than a lesser new bike. 
I just wanna, like take this moment, to give myself, a gold star. Biiiinng: 
Five days in a row with eating healthy, and 3 workouts. I do not think I have done that before, ever. Yay me! I super gold! Sadly, it wont be 6 days in a row, as I am going for all you can eat sushi tomorrow night. However, I am also going skating earlier in the day, so that's better than nothing right. Keep telling myself that.
Today I did something I didn't think I could do. I made a mini bag of smart microwave popcorn, and didn't add any extra margarine or salt to it. Usually I add a spoonful of margarine and tell myself it's probably less than what they put on the regular popcorn. Then I do the inside of my brain equivalent to putting my hands over my ears, and dump a bunch of my favorite kind of sodium on it, table salt. I can only lie to myself for so long and then I have to put the blockers on and don't let my eyes write to my brain's hard drive. Read Only Access. Not today baby!
So I feel kind of proud of myself. I think I will have a glass of Sifto to celebrate. Okay, let's review the past week Monday - good Tuesday - good Wednesday - good Thursday - not so good Friday - terrible Saturday - the worst Sunday - good Hey 4 out of 7 is a start. And today was really good so the week is off to a decent start. And then out of nowhere comes the attack of the KFC bucket!! BAM!  I ducked and it missed me!! Sailed right on by. Smushed into the wall and pieces of chicken flew out, stuck to the wall and, I kid you not, dribbled down to the floor.
Okay I made most of that up. But my friend did indeed purchase this bucket o' goodness in Calgary especially for us to share for the Superbowl. Wow, not only was it hard to say "no" for my health, I was also letting down my friend. Sorry Albert, cant do it. I told him I have to lose 50 lbs before the mid of May, and he said "I'll be watching you." A bit threatening, perhaps, but then again he did go ALL the way to Calgary to pick up the Colonels 11 secret herbs and spices. I can't stop looking at the bucket. It's beautiful. a symbol of everything I must leave behind to accomplish my goal. F--k'n hell, it's not just a symbol, IT IS WHAT I MUST LEAVE BEHIND. I've just been invited to all you can eat sushi on Friday. F--king hell.  mmmm, cold cut sandwiches  Bacon. Oh my.  Just give me 10 minutes with this  Yummy! Me, I am going to watch the big game at a friends house, and plan on not eating anything or drinking any booze. They say it can't be done. They might be right. Yet I, one man in the world, will try to climb that mountain of impossibility tonight. I will go where NO men have gone before. I may be laughed at, chided, suffer junk food discrimination and even peer-pressure. Am I nervous? Hell yes!
