Be It Resolved

Back on New Year's Eve, I blogged my four main resolutions for 2008. An update:


* I have successfully managed to avoiding eating any potato chips, though in fact tortilla chips are a paltry lunchtime substitute and Shannon may have a point that eating a pile of pretzels tortilla chips instead of a bowl of potato chips may be questionable w/r/t "success."


* Trying to keep up my fitness activities, I worked out 20 times in January, reaching my number-of-sessions goal but falling a bit short of the 20 hours goal. (I ended the month with 17:15:11 of workout time, mostly skiing. I might have reached 20 hours if I hadn't pulled back a bit as the City of Lakes Loppet got closer and/or if we hadn't had several way-too-cold days.)

* I did get substantially more organized, at least at work: I threw out about 12 shelf-feet of grad school-era photocopies of articles and books, sold almost all my academic books to a local used bookstore (making some decent money on the deal), and re-sorted and culled my work files. Next up - the hundreds of pounds of dissertation files sitting in the garage at home.

* Though I did get a couple volunteer-activity monkeys off my back, I didn't exactly cut down on non-family, non-work obligations.

Forecast: Significant blowing and drifting, with the possibility of heavy accumulation in rural areas.
