New Year’s Resolutions Progress
- 1 memoir towards my Memoir/Biography Resolution (4 to go for this one)
- 1 book from my Personal Collection (9 to go for this one)
Now, I know that it’s not a bookish resolution, but I resolved to eat better (mainly cut out fast food and sweets). So, in January I lost 6 pounds from that alone 😀 Just 9 pounds to my goal weight (what I weighed when I graduated high school 5 years ago) 🙂 I did resolve to work out more, too. Unfortunately I haven’t been doing that regularly since I’ve made such progress with my weight from eating better alone. But I know that while I lose weight, that doesn’t make me “in shape”, so I really need to start working out some more.
