Grounded Resolutions

I want resolutions that I actually can keep without having to do much.

So here they are with some explanations.

1) I will get out more. I have been cooped up in my apartment for the last month and half. I need to go out more. Even if its just for a walk or coffee.

2) I will keep losing weight. I say keep because in the last year and a half I have lost about 25 pounds (I was fat not too long ago). I haven't lost it by doing anything except eating less. I don't keep junk food in the apartment. I try to eat better meals. That's it. And I've lost weight. And it makes me happy when people notice it (although that also means they noticed I was fat.) So I'll keep it up, ten more pounds and I'll be really pleased with myself.

3) I will not let one person ruin my happiness. I've not done too much to make myself feel better. But I'm going to get in control of it. I've got a decent job, I've got a good apartment, I have the best friends (even if they live elsewhere), I don't have a lot to complain about. So I'm done being dragged down.

4) I will keep up my sketch a day. Some days I miss a sketch, but I make it up. I think back to what I was feeling that day. Or what my predominate activity was that day, or song I that was stuck in my head. And draw about that to make it up. I don't consider that missing that day. I'm almost to 100 days in a row. If I make a year I'll be astonished. So why not astonish myself.

I don't feel any of those resolutions are impossible, or require that much of a change to my daily routine. So I feel like they are good resolutions. In honor of that, I'm going to shower now and walk down to the pub to have a beer. Why not.
