New Year's Resolution: get back to studying Chinese!
I have lots of books, recordings, software, flashcards, rubber stamps, magnetic characters, and much more to work with, I just need to start again and stick with it!
credo nelle donne adolescenti, nel potere di corruzione della postura delle loro gambe, nella purezza dei loro corpi scompigliati, nelle tracce delle loro pudenda lasciate nei bagni di motel malandati.

I pulled out my crockpot that my friend gave me in 1998. It has not seen much use in recent years. Hopefully, this year it will create some good dishes.
The text from this page and the previous page relate to the writing I did on what this goal area means to me.

This is my New Years resolution.
Taken with film with an unknown expiration date. The film was probably purchased around late 1999~early 2000.
This is the first time I have written any New Year's Resolution. Lets see if it helps me stick to it. I think it's a pretty good list.
Not sure how well this will go - but Cosmo seems to want to turn the page and be less of a jerk to Flapjack.
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.

Just a generic shot. Today I didn't do much other than wanting to start my New Years resolution. I went for a morning jog and to no surprise, Rohr Park was filled with other resolution-fulfilling people. I was like wow I guess I'm one of them haha. Believe me there was a lot of joggers. I took this at a bad spot and time lol. This park has a jogging trail of a little over 3 miles that circles a golf course. It's a popular jogging spot for a lot of South San Diegans. I remember the days when I could jog the whole trail nonstop. Now I'm working my way to at least do half!
I think the day went good as far as my resolution goes. Not the best, but I'm slowly working my way into it. Back then I would eat at least six times a day of smaller portions to get my metabolism going, but today I only ate three times, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Starting with oatmeal, then salmon and wheat bread, and ending it with ehhh.. homemade salsa and ham lol. Lots to work on this year!

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!

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!

Christmas came early
with all kinds of stuff.
Sure I can learn it--
if not I'll just bluff.
I hope at your house
that there's all kinds of gifts,
and not too much
of those family rifts.
Here in Texas
we're having smoked ribs,
potatoes and fixins'
but alas no kids.
But that's alright,
because on Christmas Day
everyone's a kid
in some small way.
