On track so far. . .

So I had a few less public resolutions.  I thought that keeping them private may make me less likely to give them up.  I know that accountability normally works the other way but I'm pretty good at declaring things rather than actually doing them sometimes.  However, I have done well so far at keeping them.


  • Holding my tongue at work. 
    • This is because my office is a drama-factory.  This includes everyone from the least to the greatest employees.  I'm doing okay so far.  I'd still give myself a B on that today.  Our billable requirement was increased by 25 hours.  This does not make my job any easier.  It also makes our office twice as demanding as many other firms in the city.  It also means that I have to work more hours for less money.  New year = pay cut?? Yeah, I'd say I kept my tongue in check as well as can be expected when my reaction could have been much worse.  We'll do better tomorrow . . .
  • Going to church more often 
    • Well, it was the first Sunday of the year.  I went to church and enjoyed it so much.  I'll definitely be going back to that one.  It has me thinking about a lot of the way I think about my faith.  I get an A+, mainly just because I'm one for one so far. :) 
  • Reading more 
    • The Fountainhead is amazing so far.  I'm definitely enjoying the philosophical aspects of it. A- because I could have read a little more and watched a little less ABC Family last night.  
  • Doing more with my leisure time. 
    • We saw Black Swan last night.  It was intense.  More about that later. I also got out a lot this weekend.  I was less tired than usual because of the very short work week.  
    • I ran 3 miles. First time in awhile that I've run that much. I feel much less stressed than I did yesterday.  
    • A for effort! 
  • Staying in touch with friends. 
    • C - but I plan on remedying that this week.  I just have to get back into the swing of things.

  1. Yay for resolutions! I need to be better about that last one as well. Speaking of which, we need a g-chat date ASAP!

    I've been meaning to blog about my resolutions. Perhaps today!
