Chris Allen’s New Year’s Resolutions, What Are Yours?

I have said it before and I will say it again, 2021's resolutions will be very different from every other year.

Many people say they want to lose weight, but how is that attainable when a lot of the gyms are closed and most people don't have a decent workout gym at home. Some people were already on their weight loss journey with a personal trainer and COVID stopped that workout. The gyms that have survived have done so virtually.

One of my resolutions is to play out somewhere. I'll do it for free so that people will come in to the establishment and eat and drink. That isn't even a do-able expectation so far. It might be later in the year, maybe.

With runs on the foods and other products in the grocery store making it hard to keep up on food. I went to buy broccoli and it was gone. There are three kinds of broccoli, and all were gone. (Florets, chopped and stalks, and I'm probably missing some.) I have tried to buy other vegetables and have come up short. My point is, it's hard to eat healthy when you can't meal plan because of runs in the store.

So I came up with a list for me, that might be able to work for the new year. I am lucky, I have a job, I have lost a little weight, and I am able to be with the family I have in town.
