my365, and other 2010 resolutions
Dec 30th
We all do it. The moment the clock strikes midnight on Thursday night, we will all feel that sense of “new start”. All be it just another day, psychologically the sense of starting a new year makes us all feel like we have the chance to start fresh. Which is cool.
So, this year, I have three resolutions (I’m not happy with just one, if I cock it up I feel down. With 3, I have three chances to get at least one of them through to June, right?!?!)
Here they are:
- my365. Recently, I’ve really got in to my photography again. New camera, loads of new accessories and friends who share the same interest has really got me in to just randomly going out and snapping away. So in 2010, I’m undertaking my own 365 challenge. A photo for every day of the year. I’ve adjusted some of the rules to suit my own needs (its a marathon, not a sprint, so I’m allowing myself to back-date pictures to specific days if i miss one, for whatever reason). My main rule: 1 picture each day, and the picture HAS to be taken that week. No reusing stock or anything.I actually spent a couple of days over Christmas making a my365 section for this website, integrated with Flickr and twitter, so I (and other people, if interested!) can keep track of my progress. Its nothing special, and most certainly hasn’t been cross browser tested yet, but come January 1st my365 will be up and running properly.
- Use my Gym membership (Wooo!). Ok, so this is *everyone’s* resolution, but for the first 6 weeks of the year I’m attempting to gain weight by hitting the gym at least 4 times a week, and eating the right stuff. I know this one won’t last (its pretty impossible to keep to a gym schedule when you have flexi time at work, that’s my excuse anyway!)
- No drinking on a school night. More so with the run up to Christmas, I found myself out later and later with work the next morning. Silly. So I plan to stick to one simple rule, Monday to Thursday evenings. I can go out or whatever, but, I must remain within the legal driving limit with regards to alcohol. To be honest, I don’t enjoy getting drunk really (I do, I just don’t like the next day!), so I’m cutting it out. Done.
That’s my three.
Wish me luck!!!
