New Year's Resolutions 2014
Long time no post, yes?
1.) Health: Exercise at least 3x on weekdays, 1x on weekends (hiking counts).
a.) Join a gym. IMA (my university's gym): $240 / 1 year. 6 am - 10:30 p.m., M-F.
b.) Lose 20 lbs. (No worries, I'm within my BMI now, and losing that amount would simply put me at the lower end of that BMI range).
c.) Learn at least one new healthy recipe every month.
d.) Limit sweets. For heavy-calorie desserts, no more than 1 per week. (I have a terrible sweet tooth, and the law school is always exploding with free sweets and food).
e.) New schedule: bed by 11:30, up by 6:30. 7 hours is pretty good for me.
2.) Write for 2 hours on weekdays and 3 hours on weekends, for total of 16 hours (note: 168 hours in a week, so that's about 10%). I'm hoping waking up earlier and leaving work earlier means it will be easier for me to feel energized for exercise and writing. Note that it's pitch-black here at 4 pm now. :(
(Side note: Maybe attend some of the Clarion West's daily workshops in Seattle. Springing for the 6-week course seems a bit intense and expensive now, though.)
3.) Limit Internet time. No more than 1 hour/day on weekdays.
4.) Buy a used car. Probably the one from my friend.
5.) Get a raise or get a new job. Then plan a new budget.
