Resolutions: Update 2

I made four main resolutions at the start of the year. Things were going pretty well on February 1. The status as of March 1:

  • I've still steered clear of potato chips (though my god a great sale on really pricey gourmet chips can test a guy), and I've cut down on the tortilla-chip consumption. Not making a total Chester White of myself with the latter has helped me enjoy them a lot more when I do have them. Which is pretty much what I wanted out of this resolution.

  • On the fitness front, February started with the bang of the City of Lakes Loppet, which was a blast. Since then, I took it pretty easy: 11 ski sessions but nothing else. In my book, this makes February an official "recovery month." March is likely to be the same.

  • I haven't been able to achieve a higher level of personal organization at home or work, but I haven't slid backwards, either. March is the month to recycle the last of the useless paper in my office and get after the useless paper at home.

  • Cutting down on non-work obligations has been partially successful: I passed on a couple entertaining but time-consuming and long-term activities. This didn't exactly free up dozens of hours, but it at least kept me from giving up a few discretionary hours.


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