Well, well, well. Now when was the last time we saw a post
titled like that?? No, don’t answer that, I don’t want to know. What I do know
is that it has definitely been long enough to make me forget what my
resolutions were at the start of the year. Yeah, that bad.
I’ll admit I am ashamed of myself, but I don’t want to feel
so low that I just sink into the depths of despair and give up. So I decided to
get back on track.
First, I had to do the obvious, going back to my January
posts and re-reading my goals. (That’s
one of the best parts of having a blog, you have written records of pretty much
everything in your life :-)) Well, unknown to myself, I have kept on track with
a few of those goals, while the ones that require conscious action have been,
well, ignored. So let’s see how I stand with respect to everything right now:
1. Quality time with Cub – Quality time
is going well, though book reading has been low this month.
2. Less Nagging – This I’m very proud of. I
just automatically cut down nagging and sweating the small stuff. Can’t imagine
how it happened. Wonder if the hubby’s putting something in my coffee.
3. Regular Prayers – More regular and more focused
too, although there’s still room for improvement.
4. More books – This year, I’ve read about
twice the books I read last year. Though initially I had to push myself, now I
just pick up and read – no pushing required!
1. Organized blog posting – I was kind of at the height of posting in August, due to
the Ramadan Challenge. But then I began
to lose focus.
2. Current Affairs – Well, I do read the paper
more, but still not that into news channels.
3. Adventurous style – The InFB remixes are something I look forward to, and I’ve got rid of
all my boring clothes, but there’s still not been as much change as I’d like.
1. Cleaner House – Hmm. I don’t know why, but
nowadays, just thinking of cleaning tires me out. As a result, I’m now looking
at blurry windows, dusty fans and crumb ridden rugs.
2. Fitness – This has
been terrible. My workouts are really irregular and I think my bad time
management skills have a part to play. In spite of this, I have (somewhat)
learned to control my portions and am about 4.5 kg lighter than I was at the start
of the year :-).
And that’s how it’s been, friends. This week is going to be
really busy for me since it’s Cub’s birthday week :-). The little guy turns
four and we’re planning a kiddie party for his friends in the evening and a
dinner party for the extended family later. I thought about going for a theme,
but he’s kind of in between trains and trucks, so I decided to go with a
general ‘Birthday’ theme :-).
How has it been for you guys so far?? Resolutions still going
good, or are you planning an overhaul?? Do let me know!!

Deletean weekly update after a long time :) I'm definitely going to make simpler resolutions for 2013 :)
ReplyDeleteI know, having fewer and simpler resolutions leads to a better chance of maintaining them :-)
