I hope but cannot promise that at the beginning of each month, I will review my Yearly Resolutions and chart where I am. It is another way of keeping me honest, keeping me focused, and hopefully- keeping me on track.

Resolutions

(1) Weight Loss
Beginner Goal: Get under 200 lbs.
Intermediate Goal: Get under 170 lbs
Expert Goal: Get back to 160 or less
Path
Beginner Goal: Requires a 3 lb loss per month
Intermediate Goal: Requires a 5 lb loss per month

(2) Marriage Help
Wife and I get to a point in our marriage where Physical Intimacy exists and is not “the exception” or we begin the process of divorce.

JANUARY START: Counseling Sessions
FEBRUARY START: We’re doing counseling, re-connecting via exercise and board games, doing date nights, and she’s more accepting of kisses and physical closeness. Still no sex, though.
MARCH START: We actually had sex twice last month. That is a good start. But also, we’re seeing some back sliding in other areas. Attempting to create sustainable, consistent change, and healthy lifestyle choices is going to need to be a key focus.

(3) House Completion
Beginner Goal: Basement Finished
Intermediate Goal: Basement Finished & All Repairs Complete
Expert Goal: Basement Finished & All Repairs Complete & Fence Erected Properly

JANUARY START: Almost finished with Primary Basement Space
FEBRUARY START: All but one or two things finished with Primary Basement Space
MARCH START: Basement space has all furniture (minus dining room chairs) and most electronics properly hooked up. For Basement Completion need CMPtoHDMI converter, Dining Room Chairs.

(4) KEEP MY JOB and get better at it.

January Start: Job kept. Slow Season
February Start: Job kept. Things moving faster. Volunteering to help more.
March Start: Job kept. March promises to be busy, full, and challenging.
