2011 was an interesting year as I watch my kids get older and the new dog grow pretty quick I am continuously reminded of my own mortality. I turned 30 this year which very quickly reminds you that you “ain’t no spring chicken” any more. That being said I hit my target weight this year and as I write this now I am at 197. I started this year > 250 so I feel like that even though I have gotten a lot older I am in better shape now than I have been for as long as I can remember.
Most of my endeavors this year have been related to making my body better by gaining endurance or something that effect. And next year I want to do more of the same but also focus on the introspective things like stress and inter personal relationships.
So I have been giving a great deal of thought to my resolutions for this year and they go as follows:
1. To begin to understand/change my diet to reflect my activity level.
1.a. To run a sub 21 Minute 5k
1.b. To run a 1/2 Marathon
2. To be more introspective
2.a. To be a kinder and more forgiving person
2.b. To be less worried about what other are/aren’t doing and more focused on what I am/aren’t doing
2.c. To focus on spreading knowledge around
3. To be more active in my web presence
3.a. To take a picture of myself every day for all 365 days
3.b. To post something technical to my blog at least 1 time per week
3.c. To build a site that represents my experience and portfolio and separate the jokes off from the technical stuff
4. To save more money and eliminate more debt
