Resolution update

1.  Lose weight.  Last year I set a goal and failed.   This year I am going to not set a number and just hope it is less than what I started at. This includes good eating habits and exercising.  Really big failure this month.  Well my eating was ok.  And I am back on track with exercising.  But the number on the scale... it is not pretty.
2.  Read at least 1 book a month.  I liked this one from last year and have decided to keep it.  Another failure.  I am still trying to get through the same book I started over Christmas.  It is dry.  And boring.  But my mom swears by it.  So I keep trying.  But then I put it down and do a few sudoku puzzles.  But now I am out of puzzles so maybe I will plow through the rest of book.
3.  Get at least 8 hours of sleep at least 4 times per week.  I liked this one from last year and I think it is wise that I keep it this year. For fear of sounding repetitive... another failure.  And I must get better at this one.
4.  Blog at least 12 times per month.  I am lowering the number but keeping the goal.  Done!
5.  Refinish the new kitchen table.  Really.  Not yet.
6.  Start a 529 account.  Not yet!!
7.  Start a savings account. Not yet!!
8.  Eat out no more then 2 times per month.  I think it is important to keep this one from last year.  I knew I was in trouble when I was eating out for the second time on January 6th.
9.  Learn how to use the video feature of the camera and learn how to use Photoshop.  Nothing.
10. Pay all bills on time. I think this is an important one to keep.  Yes.  And I even caught up on the late bills.
11. Make a decision about going to graduate school.  If going then start the process of making it happen.  Yeah, I got side tracked.  Right after I made the resolution my life got turned upside down.  Now I am waiting to see how that plays out before making a decision about this.  But while I made no progress, this was a purposeful decision.
12.  The secret.  Not ready to say it out loud but need to make a decision and make it happen.  See above. 

Wow!  It looks like January is a big old failure.  But it really wasn't.  I think it was a month of getting my feet wet.  February will be better.
