<p>Be happy like I used to be.

Lose ten pounds?</p>
<p>So-o-o-ooo, how did everyone do ;)?</p>
<p>Here is what I posted a year ago on this thread:</p>
<p>1. Do not wait until December to plant “squirrel food”.</p>
<p>^^Achieved - did not plant any tulips this year :)</p>
<p>2. Finish the course I just signed up for and pass the exam.</p>
<p>^^It is tougher than I thought. Still working on it.</p>
<p>3. Take at least one class at UW Extension.</p>
<p>^^The class I wanted was cancelled. 
Taking a class for the sake of taking a class is silly.</p>
<p>4. Kick H off the sofa more often and go running or biking with him.</p>
<p>^^Overachieved - H and I started running and watching what we eat, and both lost about 20 lb! Yay!</p>
<p>5. Learn to swim butterfly - no, I’m just kidding about this one</p>
<p>^^Of course I was kidding. I can’t swim a yard of 'fly even to save my life! But I perfected my breaststroke on Kauai :)</p>
<p>Try to get better at living in the moment.
Appreciate more.
Get back to the gym at least once a week. (start small)
Stop worrying about everything.
Be less of a chicken whe n it comes to going to doctors.</p>
<p>Bunsen: what are your resolutions for 2010? I like how specific you were. Much more achievable than “stop procrastinating”.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The short answer? Not well – which makes this year’s resolution list a repeat of last year’s.</p>
<p>Just one resolution:
Do a volunteer stint/job that’s meaningful for someone else.</p>
<p>Hey Bunsen. I actually did learn to swim butterfly in 2009. :)</p>
<p>For this year, I really want to attempt to make the best of every situation, rather than complain or pout or be cynical.</p>
<p>I didn’t post this resolution, but last year I resolved to swim 200 miles (not all at once!)
I didn’t make it, but I got close-- about 185. (About 300,000 yards, or the distance from Miami to Cuba and back.)
This year, I have resolved to go on regular evening walks with my husband, do yoga regularly instead of sporadically, and devote every Thursday to some kind of art project.</p>
<p>My health did improve last year, so I did not do as much swimming as I would have like. But I did drop 5 lbs without really trying. This year, I vow to be more organized. I’m in the process of throwing a lot of things away, put things in containers so the house can be less cluttered.</p>
<p>momof2inca - cool! ILoveLA - awesome! You guys make me want to do more swimming.</p>
<p>I usually don’t make resolutions, so I posted on this thread just for fun. But it was interesting to dig it up and see what I had accomplished. So here is something for me to focus on this year - I think this year my main goals will be i) de-cluttering and ii) digitizing old negatives, 16 mm movies, home videos and slides. I already got a head start on the second goal - we bought a VCR to DVD recorder, and it works!</p>
<p>For this year:</p>
<p>Eat healthier and exercise more. I’d love to lose 20 lbs, but if I just stop this weight gain and feel healthier, that will do. </p>
<p>Stop procrastinating. Clean out the clutter in the house.</p>
<p>Find a job I actually enjoy - or at least don’t hate.</p>
<p>Stop procrastinating. Well… maybe tomorrow…</p>
<p>Read the user manuals for every tech gadget in this house.
Toss out remote “clickers to nowhere.”
Make peace where there is none.</p>
<p>^(2 easies and a biggie)</p>
<p>P.S. Exercise for strength…(there, I just worked my fourth right finger!)</p>
