A new year is here! That’s what everyone says whenever they write about the new year, including me obviously. The past year has been great! Remember those resolutions I had from last year? Well here is the final results…my grade.
I give myself a “C-“
1. Rely on the computer less. Overall grade:B. This was a tough one, but I feel better about the situation today than I did a year ago. For example, my productivity on the computer is up, while my pointless linking-clicking and skimming nerdy-ness has remained about the same. So even though I didn’t get rid of the pointless link clicking, I’m now actually getting stuff done alongside that! I bought an mp3 player in the middle of the year, so that lessened my dependence on the computer for my music collection, and now I can listen with ease and portability without running to check emails, websites, etc, while listening!
2. Gain weight and be healthy. Overall grade:C. Gaining weight is not just something that happens at the snap of a finger. It is much harder than losing weight, because you must build muscles rather than just degrade and dispose of fat. But recently I’ve been improving this. Even though I had the whole year to work on this resolution, I just really sort of started it a couple weeks ago. I’ve been eating 4 or more times a day, with nice little healthy snacks here and there. I also realized “Hey! We have a weight bench in the basement (cellar)!!! Maybe I could use that!” And thus, I’ve been using that at least twice a week. I also went on a nice little bike ride a couple days ago (before it got cold). Overall weight gain so far:maybe….MAYBE one pound!
3. Get my brother back. Overall grade:F. I knew this was going to be very tough…and I fall, defeated. I made a couple very small steps, but also learned a lot more and those steps never paid off. :-/
Those are my 2006 resolutions in a blogshell (rather than a nutshell). Thanks for reading…and check out my 2007 resolutions shortly…please!
