three-hundred and sixty-five days. another year older, a new one about to begin. so let’s take a look at 2002′s resolutions and see just how i did:
1. i will eat no more fast food.
done. i didn’t darken the door or visit the drive-thru of any krystal, burger king, steak & shake or hardees. within two months of making that resolution, i lost around fifteen pounds! however, i did have to go to mcdonalds in oxford while visiting the nephews. when dealing with seven-year-olds, the happy meal factor is non-negotiable. it’s even non-negotiable when dealing with adults, as two of my travelling companions dragged me to the mickey d’s in piccadilly square later in that same trip. some people will do anything for monsters, inc toys…2. i will get to work on time.
kept for the most part, but since i switched jobs twice in the past year, i am not sure how important this actually was. just a warning kids: the IT field is an ugly and unpredictable thing.3. i will start to save enough money to make the shift from renter to owner.
this is a work in progress, though i am in much better financial shape now than i was only a year ago. monthly expenses are not too painful and i am actually saving more than i am spending.4. i will develop a program of exercise and stick to it.
never developed and never stuck. i just seem to be too busy with work or theatre or otherwise, so it just doesn’t seem to make sense to waste time running in place…
so how did you do? i will post some new resolutions for the new year next year (tomorrow).
