6 month update!
You may (or may not) remember my January post, 2009: A retrospective and a look ahead . In this post, I looked back at the not-so-good things about 2009, but most importantly, I gave myself a List of Tentative Hopes for 2010.
Here they are:
Read More – Check! I’ve been reading a little more since then. Not as much as I would like to, but it’s something.
Less TV - Check! We’ve actually been watching a lot less TV these days. We’ve been making trips to the record store on the weekends and picking up a lot of old LPs. Saturday afternoons usually consist of sketching, reading, listening to good music and maybe a beer or two. Actually, we’ve been talking about canceling our cable. *thumbs up!*
Recycle more – The same as before, which is good, but could be much better.
Draw more! Check!
Eat healthier Check! I have been trying to rotate all-things-good-for-me into my diet. More salads… and fruit… and salads. Did I mention salads? I haven’t managed to lose much weight yet, but it’s all good. It’ll happen when it happens.
Quit smoking! Check! It’s actually only been 1 week today, but hey, that’s light years if you consider the addictive hold that cigarettes can have on someone. It’s actually been pretty easy this time. We made the decision 2 weeks ago. Gradually cut cigarettes out and then we were done. Mind you, at first the cravings were stronger and the days seemed oh-so-long but this is the third and final time.
So, there you have it! Now, my main goal will consist of balancing not smoking with not getting fat!
SAAAALAAADS!
P.S. So far, 2010 has been quite awesome!
Way to go on kicking the smokes, Mel.
I don’t know what is more scary. The illustration about the salad or the rapid fire pictures. I think I almost had a seizure over that one…
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Like it!!
Congrats to you for taking on quitting smoking. I know it’s really, really hard to do, and I applaud your resolve.
