New Year's Wrapup

So, here's the delayed recap of 2003 entry that every other journaler has already done, but I didn't yet.  Such is life.

I made two goals this time last year, and I met one, and the other... well, we'll just not talk about it.  Much.

I had this whole TrimTim inituitive thing and I hit it head on: working out (okay... I went to the gym four times.  Good use of my money, huh?) and eating better.  And I actually DID lose about thirty pounds, and people were starting to notice, and I was feeling better, and even didn't spend all summer sweating like a creepy perv in a porno theatre.  And then... I dunno.  I lost focus.  I'm prone to that, you know.  Sometimes I can barely foc

Anyway, so I gained all but about five pounds back.  I thereby consider the year to not be a total failure in that department, but of course, there is work to be done.  I'm not ashamed of my weight, but I know I would feel better if I lost weight.  It's hard being fat, y'all... and that sweaty perv thing?  It's back.  I hate it, and that's the number one, grade "A" reason for losing weight, right there!

My other resolution/goal?  To post in my journal everyday.  That lasted until April, I think (it's late, and I don't feel like digging).  I posted daily, including weekends all that time.  Then, I had a weekend that was a little, um, off tha hook, if you know what I mean, (and I think you do) and didn't update one Saturday.  I did not cheat and edit a timestamp or something lame... I just revised my goal to post every WEEKDAY, except for holidays.

And I did it!  I posted something here everyday.  Every.  Single.  Weekday.

What did I post?  Some great entries, if I do say so myself.  And also some okay entries.  Some funny stuff, and some sad stuff.  I also, on days I didn't feel like journalling, posted SHIT.  In fact, if I look back at the entries over the year, it's become obvious to me that the quality of the journal as a whole is comprimised by forcing myself to post.  I guess I'm just not talented enough to produce a funny, thought-provoking entry every day, or perhaps I'm too lazy, but I'm not going to be trying this year.

I'm not leaving.  God no.  I need this thing as much as it needs me, and I really love it.  I WON'T, however, be putting something up here everyday.  I don't know how often I'll post, but it won't be daily.  Probably four times a week or something.  I'm allowing myself to skip a day, but not too many.  We'll see how that goes...

I'm also toying with the idea of reworking the whole site with a blog for short bursts of content, AND a journal for more lengthy entries.  Perhaps if I did that, I could post daily in at least one of those two places.  Don't know.  We'll see.

So, thanks for reading me daily.  I'll still be around!
