resolute
| December 31st, 2007 at 23:59 |I’ve always put off New Year’s Resolutions until March. My birthday’s in March; I figure I can get away with my newest year being close enough to everyone else’s. This year I feel like doing something different. Next December 31st, there are a few things I want to be able to say I have done throughout 2008. Some of them are stupid, some of them embarassing, some of them you’ll just have to decide for yourself.
Personal hygiene: take a shower every day, no matter how tired I am. Brush my teeth, floss, and mouthwash twice a day, no matter how late I’m running. Use my facewash twice a day.
Personal health: exercise (with or without Kaity) every other day. Take my medicine every day. Lose 40 pounds. That’s less than a pound a week, and less than half of my ultimate goal. Absolutely no more smoking - not when I’m out with friends, not when I had a stressful day, not after sex.
Financial: No more overdrafts. I’d love to say no more late bills, but that’s definitely not going to happen unless I can achieve this.
Relations: No goals. I can’t set myself up for anything right now.

Those are fantastic “resolutions”. Not too big, doesn’t seem like you’re setting yourself up for failure. Except for the taking a shower thing. Everybody misses a shower now and then. Take Ian for example : He can go almost an entire work week. Then again, he’s a guy and an infantry soldier. I think that’s a requirement for them. [wink!]

The shower thing is more because if I say “I have to take a shower every day”, I *have* to get up earlier, so I won’t be late for work as much. And on days I don’t work, it keeps me from being lazy/depressed and moping around the house all day in my underwear.
