2009 New Year’s Resolutions – Second Quarter Update

In March I did a 2009 first quarter update of the progress of my New Year’s Resolutions. In that post I said I would do a progress update every quarter. June means it’s time for a second quarter update for 2009. My second quarter progress for my 2009 New Year’s Resolutions is below.

• Read at least book a week
  I have read/listened to 42 books year to date. That is still an average of almost two books a week.
• Lose 25 pounds
  I meet my weight loss goal! I started off the year at 215 and today I weighed in at 190 pounds.  I’m going to readjust the goal and make my new goal 175 pounds.
• Eat better
  My eating has gotten better. I still have a weak spot for candy and desert. I started replacing some meals with a protein shake to help control my caloric intake. Overall, I’m doing better but still have a ways to go.
• Finish Project “A”
  The original idea for this project is finished. It hasn’t done that well. I need to change a few things. I will update more when it is finished.
• Start Project “B”
  Cancelled. 
• Start Project “C”
  I’m working with a co-working on a new idea. Once we have a prototype I will post a link. 
• Learn a new hobby
  I have taken a few good pictures but still have a lot to learn about photography and I need to use my camera more.  
• Keep dating my wife
  We don’t have a normal date night but we do go out and do stuff several times a week. This will become more difficult once the baby is born. 
• Focus on goals
  If you count this evaluation and the fact that our savings is back on track my goals are moving along.
