Pimp my Resolutions: 2008
Okay, a little late, but time for this year’s resolutions!
- Get Healthier – My triglycerides suck, my weight is up and my asthma has been horrible. This is really my most important resolution, and could have easily been my ONLY resolution. I WILL eat healthier, I WILL exercise, and I WILL lose weight. Past week has been really good in that regard, but it’s early. Still, this is my main priority. I’m not going to falter.
- Get back to web/notes developing a bit – I tried to work on an old web app I had done awhile ago and realized that my Dev skills have REALLY diminished in the last year. Since I’ve been able to focus on Admin, development has really taken a back seat. I just need to get back to a decent baseline.
- Listen to more music – I’m a huge music fan, and I just need to make more time to enjoy it. Now that I have all my music on the Mac in the living room, I have more opportunity to categorize and sort my tunes. I also now have the Sonos that will let me listen anywhere in the house where I put a zone. Couple that with the fact that my iPhone always has music on it, and there’s no excuse for me to not listen.
- Do more with my photography – This last year I spent getting most of my stuff into Adobe Lightroom and tagging it and such. Now I need to frame some more of my art, make some books, and export all the stuff I’ve tagged to JPG so I can upload it to flickr. Also, I should make more time to actually TAKE photographs
So, get healthy, update some skills, enjoy more music and engross myself in more photos. Sounds like a good plan to me.

Hey John…Great resolutions. Best of luck to you on knocking these out of the park!

Thanks Chris. I think I made my resolutions a little more manageable this time, so hopefully I can do so. The healthy one is the biggie..

Good list. I’m working on mine in my head. We share the first one. I’ve lost 10+ lbs recently and now that the holiday is over, I’m getting that back on track. Lotusphere will be a challenge in this area although Disney does a great job in offering healthy choices. I just love the buffett’s!

Yeah, I’m hoping to get down a bit before Lotusphere, but I think I can actually do well eating there. That, along with the miles of walking I think will be good for the process.
There’s only one thing, I have to be bad and at least have ONE of these:

For my part, my resolutions are always to drink more and work less. Never can keep up with them, though.

All good resolutions, Grey. And may I say, KUDOS to you for being willing to write down your aspirations and even reviewing them regularly. That in and of itself is a worth a big pat on the back. And – we need to talk music, I have an iPhone and shuffle now and both are languishing. Must have new music!!! recommendations most welcome.

Grey,
I was thinking we should start a blogger and friends weight challenge. I haven’t given it a lot of thought but support is good in weight loss aspirations. We can talk at Lotusphere.

Hey bro,
Good list of resolutions. For health, the easiest thing I did was drop sodas and cut down dramatically on fast food. I’m to the point I don’t even miss them, and while I still may get a Hardee’s burger on rare occasions, I don’t much care for pop anymore.
You could also sign up for that tae kwon do school with your girls. I may be biased on that one, though.
As for the photography, you and me both, man. I need to get out there and use my camera more.
Take care,
Mike
