I'm so glad I have this blog, it's become my diary, only I keep up with this one better than a diary you write in. I was looking back at my old entries and in December 2006, I found my New Years Resolution list. I can't believe it was from two years ago! A lot sure has changed since then. One of those resolutions was to practice my guitar more often, but I think I haven't played for about a year! So now that must change.
Another resolution was to keep up with my e-mails and blogs; of course that one I kept very well! I check my e-mail 3-5 times a day, and if I don't check my e-mail for a whole day, I end up with at least 25 e-mails. Of course mopst of them are from the websites fanfiction.net and svufans.net. I read and write fan fiction a lot.
One resolution I will no longer have to add again is having to lose weight. I haven't told you guys this, but I have lost a lot of weight! I should take new pictures of myself and post them up. I went from weighing 180 pounds to 130 pounds. So I've lost about 50 pounds! Unfortunately, the way I lost the weight was due to spending so much time on the computer at school and at home. I would be so absorbed into what I'm doing on the computer that I wouldn't eat until I got off. Also because I wasn't eating often, my stomach shrunk so if I did eat, it would be smaller portions. But this does not mean I'm anorexic, when it got to the point where I realized that I wasn't eating enough, I started working my way back to eating more to get better nutrition, but not too much to where I'd gain the weight back. So now I am eating normally again.
Another resolution on my list was to return the library books in time. Well this one has changed because I haven't been to the library in a while, and I have two books that I have started reading but haven't finished. A while back I started reading "Queen of the Damned" by Anne Rice. I've read the very beginning, but have not gotten to the first chapter yet! And then another book I have started on is "I Am Not A Cop!" by my favorite actor Richard Belzer. I have only read the first page, but haven't quite gotten to the rest of the book. My excuse is that I haven't set aside some time to sit down and read, even though I've got all the time in the world to do so. My sister has been reading the Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer. I got her book two of the series and she whipped through it in just 2-3 days! Then when she went shopping, she bought the third book and already she's almost done, or I think she's done already. When it comes to reading books, I have to do it in one sitting and continue as soon as I can until the book is finished.
Well, that's about all the old resolutions I can remember. So now here's my new and revised list of this years New Years Resolutions:
- Try not to gain the weight back, but maintain my current weight in a healthier way. Now, work on building up some muscle.
- Cut down on my time on the computer and reduce my frequency of checking my e-mails.
- Make better use of my freetime by playing my guitar and reading more books.
- Without spending too much time on the computer, try to keep up with updating my fan fiction more often.
I'll be back to check this list next year to see how I did.
Wow! I cannot believe the Inaugeration is coming up! And the timing is almost perfect! The day after Martin Luther King Jr's Birthday! (Oh if only it were on that day!) But really, I am excited about the inaugeration because it is such a historical one, we are finally getting our first black President!
