cthulhiaI weigh less than I did a year ago. So, a net gain win. Alas, I regained most after the 15K and never fully recovered. At least I am now less than Clooney's reported weight in Syriana. To make this obsession productive, this year's low loss goal is to lose 13 lbs before Ocean's 13 (early June). Hoping to drop more, but I'll have the O13 target if I backslide on the higher goal. (exercise/diet notes for me)
Exercise, aside from abovementioned loss, the only way to improve my 15K time may be to train for longer distance. Still looking for a ride to the far end of the bike path (around May), so I can run back. So, a half-marathon (13.1 mile) run, just to see how much it kills me. And walk a marathon (with first attempt being a whole day with planned stops), same reason. If I want to enter a marathon before 40, I am running out of time. (I'm not sure I want to run that far at once.)
Input, I tracked how many books I read last year, and it was 30. Since this number is less than a book a week, I'll try to beat it.
Output, with technicalities, averaged a piece of art a week. (2 postcards, 1 big painting, ~23 magnet mini paintings, 5 pysanky, then round up with assorted photos, cookie decorating projects, maybe I had a blog post worthy of being considered art). Less technicalities this year.
But my main goal, since this is year 007
Be more like James Bond!
I'm not sure how to implement this. Get a Tux? Become a card shark? Get more gadgets? Learn how to use a gun? Save the world? When I flirt with danger, it's not so much a sexy Tango, as it is the Hokey Pokey Gone Horribly Wrong.
