The Essential 'Shot

"These are the contents of my head"

June 1: Resolution Day

Friday, May 28, 2010

Beginning June 1st, I resolve to:


  • Stop Smoking - (Quit laughing, one of these times it's gonna work for good and this time is the one!)
  • Budget and Prioritize my Finances - Maybe I should hold off on the motorcycle riding lessons until the bass guitar and laminate flooring are paid off. Maybe I should have more money in my account than just enough to get me to the next payday. Ok, maybe I should just delete the 'maybe's.
  • Start Working Out (again) - Sigh. My portliness has reached an all-time high. My treadmill has reached the maximum amount of alternate uses (e.g. hanger, dust collector, object d'art, etc). Time for this boy to make some lifestyle changes.
  • Set Goals - Goal #1: Make a list of goals...check!
Bonus June activities/efforts:
  • June will be The Month of No Dining Out!
  • I will track EVERY expenditure from June the First until June the Last, even the pack of ciga...(crap)...even the drive through McDo...(sh!t)...well, I'm sure I'll find SOME way to waste my money, and when I do, I'll track it!
Anything I've missed?


   

5 animadversions:

I, Like The View said...

Yes, you need rewards too. (Apart from virtue that is).
And I'm so with you on the portliness (and I must remember to put it that way, sounds so much less derogatory than - those other words :)

OH!! What an excellent idea!! (the NO EATING OUT deal!)

See, I'm all about that one. Though....I don't think it's doable for me, given the lunch meetings I have to attend.....
OH!! Just don't GO to those meetings cuz I AM on a NO EATING OUT resolution. Yup--gonna try that one out on the boss and see if he'll approve. (yeah, right....LOL)

And I agree--something fun would be good, too.
Like "I resolve to draw with sidewalk chalk every week."

<-- personally likes that one

What is this "fun" you speak of?

And Mig, according to the interweb, gentlemen are portly and women are stout. Of course, I don't hold to that as I thought stout was a type of beer and that doesn't seem very feminine.

Now I must find that girl with the t-bird and ask her more about this "fun".

Stout. Hmm. I'll have to think about that : )
