"For my own training, I’m delaying the formal start of my stuff in order to do some weight loss related stuff first. I’m a lot heavier than I need to be to race well, and that’s gotta change. The 10 lbs (and 3-4 percentage points of body fat) I gained post-IM haven’t helped, either. Yuck. So yes, I’m going to be a resolutioner this year, but if I want to gain speed this year, I need to help improve the ‘infrastructure’ needed for that."

In the exact same boat here, unfortunately. On the bright side delaying until the New Year at least means I can get rid of the last of the leftovers and temptations and have a firm line to draw in the sand for moving forward...
