  • January Resolution

    Do you remember those New Year's Resolutions I made? Well, it is time for my first monthly check in on how well I did. So here is an update on my success with keeping to my resolutions for the month of January. 

    1. Go for a half-hour walk once a week and ten push-ups a day
    I walked to the library twice, one of which times took me an entire hour because of all the ice! I went grocery shopping and clothes shopping so that helped add some exercise. I didn't do ten push-ups a day, but the days I did do pushups it was usually about thirty or so. Once I even managed to pull a muscle in my leg, don't ask me how. 

    2. Brush and floss teeth before going to bed every night
    I was too tired a few times, but for the most part I did rather well in remembering. 

    3. Do something social twice a month with or without friends -
    I went to a magazine launch and chatted with one of my friends and a few of her classmates. I went to the movies (Mission Impossible), and I went bridesmaid dress shopping for about two or three hours. 

    4. Go on a date if someone asks (provided they aren't creepy)
         Well, I gave in and decided to try an online dating site but the only guys who asked me this past week were a wee bit creepy. When I made this resolution it was with the assumption it was someone I actually have at least met or want to meet. 

    5. Work on assignments for at an hour every day, two if still unemployed 
    I did the first round of editing on a manuscript, but I did not work every day. 

    6. Write for an hour a week on any WiP 
    I got a new story idea which I worked on for a couple hours, though I don't recall exactly how long nor was it weekly.

    7. Save and plan for UK dream vacation 
    Yeah, that didn't happen at all.

  • At least you gave it a try!  Mine was to quit smoking, and even though I only made it a week and a half, that's still a record for me.  :)   Keep at it, you'll get there!

  • @MissKatieSue - I will keep trying! I plan to post at the end of each month how I did thus far. I hope by the end of the year I will have managed it for the most part! Aim for two weeks this time with your smoking, then I always found it easier to have a concrete and attainable goal, hence my specific resolutions. So if you just keep adding days to what you last reached, I know you can do it by the end of the year!
