Health Goal: As I feared, work has severely hampered my available time for exercise. I have not been able to run since returning as it is dark when I leave in the morning and when I got home in the evening. That and the fact that its cold and windy, I love running in the cold but cold&windy is painful, cold&windy&dark is a tough sell. I made it out for a 2 hour walk in a forest yesterday just to do something.

On the positive side the Keto diet is going really well, I have managed to drop a few pounds already which is great. I maintained a low carb, high fat diet very easily so far as it means lots of fish, cheese, eggs, chicken, bacon, salads, oil and butter. We even made a low carb pizza with a mozzarella base. No beer, just the odd glass of red wine. No bread, pasta, rice etc. I have not counted calories or really analyzed how much carb/protein/fat I have been eating that much. I don't feel hungry or tired, the food is great and its working. Not sure I'd stay on it at this level long term but it has changed how I view food quite a bit.

Project Goal: Nothing to report from a personal project POV. In work I have a massive, career making, high risk/reward task on my hands to complete this year which could have my name in lights if I pull it off. That will be my main focus for the next few weeks/months.

Family Goal: Need to sort out cots, bottles and a bunch of other stuff but apart from that eveything is going smoothly.
