It's that time of year again!
Time to set goals with little to no hope of achieving them!!
First, let's see how I did last year.
My resolution was to cook one new thing every month, and listen to a new album every month. It should have been easy, right? Wrong. I actually kept up with it brilliantly until June... I made things like steak marinades, salmon, fried rice, greek salad, and "crispy wheat germ chicken". Then I went to Europe and threw my resolutions to the wind. But I don't regret it because I went to Europe, and that wasn't just a New Year's resolution, that was one of my goals in life! I actually have a list somewhere of things I want to do before I die, and I checked off three of them this year -- go backpacking in Europe, skate on a frozen lake, and be in a long-term relationship.
This year I am going to do a few things... for one, I'm going to continue with my "new food and new album" resolution from last year. Also, I am going to try kickboxing. I've been meaning to try it forever. I have all the info, I know which studio I want to go to, and I have the money. Time to git'er done! And finally, as an added bonus challenge, I am going to quit drinking entirely for 6 weeks! Specifically, from January 1st until February 12th. That's when the Olympics start, and when I will need to be in great shape because I'm going to be on TV, seen by millions of people every night! If that's not motivation to stop drinking beer all the time and eating garbage and not working out, then I don't know what is!!!
