Yes, this is the beginning of my new years resolutions. I’ll keep it short for today, and elaborate tomorrow.

1. I will take better care of myself. More specifically eliminate a few things from my diet, and exercise with increased frequency. I like to surf, and it’s not always a feasible option for me to do this before or after work. Especially since work is not an eight hour kinda gig. My goal will be to bike to work, at least once a week through the winter, and 3 times a week as we move into spring. Caffeine. This is another vice that needs to end, and it’s totally in the purview of this resolution. I will end the flood of caffeine into my body. It makes me nervous, and gives me huge swings in energy. Neither of which are desirable.

This is a seemingly selfish first resolution. In defense of this resolution I will repeat what I was taught a long time ago, “change begins at home”. And so I will start with me in the hopes that my other resolutions may proceed unfettered.

Wish me luck, and good luck with yours. I will post the rest of my resolutions over the course of the next few days.
