we made a little entry over at him + her about our new year's resolutions: himandherweekly.blogspot.com/2010/01/no-12-new-years-reso...
One of my new years resolutions is going to be post at least one photo a day for the year of 2012, i might even dig up some old photos besides new ones.
giraffe malwa on walk... this seres is on Kodak gold over-date (2007) my old film camera don't have timer so i could do self portrait so imagine that is me:D
One month into 2010 and I have not broken any of my resolutions.
1. So I have only had fries during weekends, but this weekend I've had fries twice (Friday and Saturday) and my sweetheart is getting me another portion as I type this, so I don't think I've been acting a lot healthier (yet). Which was the whole point.
2. Still working and enjoying my Project 365. Hopefully I'll be able to buy a DSLR camera next month!
3. Haven't broken this one! And bought a small Klean Kanteen bottle so I can take fluids with me everywhere I go!
credo nelle mie ossessioni, nella bellezza degli scontri d’auto, nella pace delle foreste sommerse, negli orgasmi delle spiagge deserte, nell’eleganza dei cimiteri di automobili, nel mistero dei parcheggi multipiano, nella poesia degli hotel abbandonati.
one of my resolutions was to take a picture every day... sort of summing up that particular day. which either means you're in for a ton of really boring pictures, or just different shots of my hello kitty collection.
this pic sums up january 2... of any year. i find myself inspired with getting healthy and starting fresh. here we have my light, fat-free yogurt with my resolutions on the screen in the background. it doesn't get more exciting than this, people.
One of my friends here on Flickr, Janet_is_really_cool, often does these self portraits in her stream, where she's either laying back on a stovetop in a fancy gown, or she's doing something which gives it a real 50s-60s advertisement feel. At any rate, I teased her earlier this week that I'd do one of them for one of my own self portraits this week but I told her I wouldn't wear the dress.
January 5th 2010
I didn't go yesterday as I had hoped, but today I returned to the gym as one of my New Year resolutions! Forgot how hard it was, but it's just gotta be done!
Jan 21: 1/365
So here's the deal. My new years resolution is to shoot a photo a day, and not just with any camera on hand but with my canon. I love photography, it is one of my favorite forms of artistic expression and I have the desire to progress in my art, and that is my goal. So this is day one. It is generic, but apropos. Get ready to see 364 more.
Day 126: Sunday Theme "New Year's Resolutions" Here ya go...any other questions?! ;-)
I resolved many years ago to longer make New Year's Resolutions...never stuck to them and felt like I was just piling a bunch of unfinished "promises" I made on my back/in my body....the guilt, the weight...yuk.
[Macro Monday] One of my resolutions for the new year is to make better use of my time. My goal with this image was to show that time never stops, even in a photograph.
[Strobist] This is a 25 second timed exposure. I wanted to give the appearance of the watch hands moving so I popped a flash every 3-4 seconds during the exposure to freeze them. Had this been a constant exposure the result would have been more of a blurred effect
of the hands.
[Setup] Dimly lit room with reflector placed camera left. Manually popped an SB-800 into the reflector to stop the hands of the watch. Metered in-camera using a flashlight to mimic the intensity of the flash.
This is my Accountability Chart from 2024. Why am I posting something so personal here on Flickr? 1) Because it's me, and 2) Because it might inspire others who are struggling to stick with goals or New Year's resolutions.
In 2024 I set goals to get at least 150 active minutes each week; lift weights for 30 minutes twice a week; vacuum once a week; post 2+ pics on Flickr each week; walk to the grocery store twice a month; only read books that I already owned or borrowed from other people, develop no more than four rolls of film, and plant a pollinator garden.
These goals were meant to improve my health, save money, do my part to save the planet, and have a better home life.
As you can see from the chart, I did not reach my goals every week. Some of them I hardly reached at all. But I met some of them quite a lot, and I guarantee I met them more often because I wanted to keep those checkmarks going on the chart.
I met my target of 150 active minutes on 39/52 weeks, or 75% of the time. That's two weeks more than in 2023.
I only managed to lift weights for 30 minutes twice in one week once. But I did lift weights for 30 minutes on 13 occasions, and lifted weights [period] on 43 occasions, and that's not bad at all!
I vacuumed on 48/52 weeks, which is 92% of the time, which was my best result. Vacuuming doesn't take as much time, and it appeases my wife, so even though it doesn't benefit my health, it does benefit my life.
In 2023 I had set a goal to post 3+ pics on Flickr each week, but that proved to be too much, given my competing priorities, and I only hit the target on 21 weeks. I reduced the goal in 2024 to 2+ pics per week, and met that target on 39 weeks, so I felt good about that.
I walked to the grocery store (instead of driving) 13 times. There's lots of room for improvement, but I have a family of three now, and it just sucks to carry that much heavy stuff while wearing heavier clothes. What I mean is that if I'm going to get sweaty, I don't want to be wearing the heavier clothes I wear for a walk to the store, especially in winter. But I can still aim high, and if I don't achieve it, it's not a big deal.
In 2024, I read 10 books that I either borrowed from someone else or the library, or already owned. That saved me probably $200!
I also set a goal to only develop four rolls of film in 2024 to save money, because developing at home is not an option and I never learned how anyway. Developing at a lab is at least $13/roll. I ended up developing five rolls, but that's okay.
I didn't plant a pollinator garden because we unexpectedly moved in the spring, and thus no longer had access to a garden. I did buy a few potted lupins after moving, but they did better indoors.
Anyway, the point of this is that if you have routine goals (like health improvements) and have a hard time sticking to them over time, it really helped me to make this chart and break them down into smaller units (in this case, weeks), and log them. In a place where my wife can see it. That way, it's obvious if I'm keeping on top of my goals.
You also need to make them specific. "Get Healthier" is too vague. I set the "150 active minutes a week" target because that's what my family doctor told me in response to a few bloodwork indicators. So I had the motivation and a number to aim for. You can set a number and a frequency that makes sense for your goals; whatever they may be.
I hope this inspires a few people to make a similar accountability chart!
