Today is August 25! I’m headed into the final third of the year, and I thought I’d take a look at some of my New Year’s Resolutions and see how they’re coming along. I think that I’m still working on all of them, and I’ve made progress with all of them to a degree. Let’s see!
- Do an unassisted pull-up: I’m getting there! I’m at 45 pounds assisted, and I can do about five.
- Do a handstand: Marvin Clods. Glen Close. Not even close. I WANT to complete this by the new year, but I’m so close to my wedding that I’m scared to fall and break something. I’ll get back into this with the last two months of the year. We’ll see what happens!
- Make mindfulness a regular practice: Better, but not great. I’m not meditating but I find myself focusing more on my choices and my actions. Self awareness. It’s a start but I agree it could be better.
- Make style changes: Yes! High waisted bottoms, cute sneakers, and long cardigans to look casual but cute. Like Kendall Jenner but not a genetic lottery winner. It’s going great!
- Do something new: If NOTHING ELSE — I ate gator this year. It was all right! I also did a SoulCycle class, and I’ve done spin before but not SoulCycle. It was fun but they don’t have it in Orlando yet! Rude. I’ve done a couple other things I haven’t done before too but quite frankly I can’t remember. I should have written down every time I did something new. I’ll be more cognizant the rest of this year. I’m going to Italy, does that count?
- Take a Career Step: Yes, but no. I’ve told my supervisor directly that I want to move to the Golf Channel/TV corporation side of things, and he’s open to me making that transition by the end of the year! Hopefully I can get to that by the beginning of next year, so I can get my foot in and do some grunt work during the golf season of 2020 and the summer Olympics!
- Go Stargazing: Not yet. I’ve looked at the stars and had a nice time, but I haven’t taken a night to just lie out with a blanket and think about life. That said, we’re moving to a nice neighborhood with lots of parks! Maybe a star-gazing date night is in our future.
So we’ve established: Dents have been made, but more damage is there to be done! Revisiting makes me more invigorated to keep working. Let’s do this like Brutus!
