January update on NYR

Quick update on how my New Year's Resolutions have been going.

1. I want to be healthier by exercising more. For the first three months of the year, I want to workout at least twice a week. For now, this will probably consist of my doing a night of yoga, either at home or at a studio, and going to the gym at school at least once a week.
-- It wasn't really happening until school started up again in late January. Since then, I have been exercising at least twice a week, mostly swimming. Starting next week, it'll be more like three times a week, swimming twice and working out in the gym once.

2. I also want to be healthier in my diet. My overall lack of time led to eating not so healthy foods and I think that's at least one of the reasons why I had frequent ailments last year. I don't really have any concrete goals for this one.
-- I've been working on portion control, trying to stop eating around the 80% full mark. I just got a book written by the woman who does "You are what you eat" on BBC, the show was recommended by a friend. I spotted the book for cheap and it's really informative, my plan is to start taking appropriate supplements and incorporate more servings of vegetables in my meals.

3. I want to be more conscious of my work, my personal relationships, and my life, and where everything is going. My plan is to reflect daily, and keep a two-three line journal and write in it at the end of each day .
-- I did this for the first week, then promptly forgot about it. I'm going to try to pick it up again. What I have been doing at work on particularly busy days is to make lists for myself in the morning of things I need to accomplish that day. That's been working really well. I think the journal should work like that list, except more in advance.

4. I want to be a more effective producer, not a consumer. I'm planning on scheduling in a good chunk of hours for knitting, sewing, maybe even fancy cooking, every weekend. As before, I want to use what I have and decrease my stashes, not increase.
-- This hasn't been working out that well, except for the fact that I'm still managing to get close to wrapping up all of my current projects. We'll see how it goes in February.
