I was reading through some of my old blogs because I was looking for my past 5K times. Not that I'm running, because I don't think you could call it that. More like organized limp-walking. I'm a little out of shape. In doing my research, I ran across my resolutions for the year in past post New Year, New Decade, New ME!. Why I wrote them down in the first place is beyond me because I never do them. Let's see where we are at 4.5 months into the year:
- One of my New Year's resolutions is to try to write more for the blog. I really miss it and it brings me great joy (especially when someone leaves a comment - hint hint), so I'm going to try to carve more time out for this.
Let's see how we are doing on this. There have been 13 entries for the entire year, and the last one was February 13th. FAIL
- South Beach Diet starts January 4th. Since I've complained that my weight was out of control, I've managed to gain 10 more pounds. I've never done South Beach before so this should be fun. I need to lose 20 by June. Pam is doing it as well, but she always has really good luck with these things. It's more of a struggle for me, but I'm going to try. If it doesn't work, I'm thinking of having my jaw wired. Plus, all the stars are aligned. First of the year, first of the month, and a Monday. It's pretty much fool proof except for that whole no wine for two weeks part of the program. Everyone here is bracing for the impact.
As we all know, I did it for awhile but then went back to loving my fat. I'm doing someone else now. I've lost 10 pounds, and have 15-20 more to go. It's really slow going. FAIL
- Signed up for a triathlon on April 17th, so training pretty much starts Monday.
Training never started, and it is April 25th, with no triathlon. FAIL
- Might do a 1/2 Marathon on April 24th with the family in Nashville. It's the weekend after aforementioned triathlon, so I'm concerned I won't be able to walk. This race is a definite maybe.
I didn't go. Didn't train. Congrats to Dennis and Tammy. FAIL
- Triathlon on May 15th in Las Vegas.
Not doing this considering I haven't trained and don't want to swim in the black sludge. FAIL
That only leaves two on the list.
- Pumpkinman triathlon in October.
- 1/2 Marathon in Las Vegas in December.
What are the chances of that happening? It's never good to be too ambitious because you only end up disappointed. I'm going to make a new list that is a little more achievable.
- Ride my bike at least 10 times this year.
- Get the mail on a more regular basis. I hate the mail.
- Be nicer to the cat.
That should just about do it. Are you keeping up with your resolutions?
