New Year’s resolutions
As it’s New Year’s Eve, it’s the time to think about resolutions for the coming year.
Mine are pretty simple:
- Cook with more variety and effort. I’m actually not a bad cook, but I’m really lazy and tend to do the same thing over and over again. Fortunately I got a nice basic cookery book for Christmas with lots of yummy inspiration and ideas.
- Take more photos! This year the number of photos I’ve taken has really dropped off. I’ve been saying that it’s due to a lack of time but I think it’s more due to a lack of inspiration. Hopefully I can turn that around in 2009 - perhaps a 365 days project will help?
- Keep up going to the gym three times a week. This one should be quite easy as I’ve been really enjoying it.
New Year’s resolutions like this do seem pretty silly; after all I could decide to make resolutions like this any time - in fact, I should. But this time of year is good for a bit of reflection, and New Year’s resolutions give you a reason to take a look at yourself and figure out ways to improve your life.
Hey Simon, you’re another guy with resolutions blogged
I share one of yours: I’ve made a resolution to go the gym an average of three times a week. This means four when I can, so I can rest some weeks.
Do you keep workout logs to see how you’re doing? I already keep a record of the weights I’ve lifted but I’ve also started a spreadsheet of “Went gym? - Y/N” so I can see at a glance how I’m doing (with analogous columns for other resolutions).
