New Year Resolutions
Tuesday, January 1st, 2008I usually do not make resolutions, because they seem to get lost in life and never happen, but this year I have a couple of things that I really want to accomplish so I’ll risk failure and ridicule and post them on my blog. Number one, I want to learn how to downhill ski. Nothing fancy, just be able to stand up and go slowly down a small slope without falling. I’m not planning to be a fast, double black diamond skier, I just want to be able to meet my family at the bottom of the slopes once in awhile and not just sit in the lodge all day.
Number two, I want to continue to learn how to cook healthy food. Last year we explored a Vegan diet and did pretty well for months, then we expanded to Vegetarian by adding an occasional egg and cheese. This was an amazing step for life-time carnivores. But, we feel better, and our cholesterol numbers are better, as is our blood pressure. So, there must be something to this you are what you eat stuff. I want to be able to feed company and have them love what they eat.
Third and last, I want to master yoga. I’ve been taking a once a week class now for a month and know that this is a very good thing for my body to learn. So there they are, my good intentions. If you see me during the year, encourage me to stick to my resolutions. And I’ll do the same for you.
More tomorrow,
