Last year I posted my resolutions and then promptly forgot them, getting me nowhere. So this year, I have decided to give semi-regular (close to the beginning of each month) regular updates. So here we go:

1) Be more organized.
I have been keeping my day planner up-to-date, and it has helped me stay on top of some things. It is an ever evolving part of my life, but thus far, I have not missed anything really important this year. There are however a couple more hours I could squeeze out of each day, but I am trying.

2) Get into shape.
I have been going to the gym somewhat regularly. Over Christmas I had some problems with my back, which turned out to be related to a worn out disk. This has mode things a little difficult, but with the help of my Chiropractor, it is getting better. I am happy to say that thus far this year, I have lost 14lbs.

3) Finish my thesis.
Believe it or not, I have been working on this (Dave saw me in the university if anyone needs proof :). I am hoping to complete a chapter this week.

4) Improve my cooking skill.
This is ongoing but working out well thus far. I seem to be good and things that are bad for me: chocolates, cakes (especially cheesecake), cookies and other desserts. I am working on improving in other areas and have added about 10 new recipes to my rotation of meals, a couple of which are Brian Kidney originals.
