Grounded Resolutions
01/03/09 22:12
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.
