New Year resolutions for 2023

Here they are:

  • Get to 150 pounds by the end of February. I am 164.8 pounds as I type this, so that would mean losing 14.8 pounds, which breaks down to:
    • 0.25 pounds per day. Like eating a negative quarter pounder.
    • 1.85 pounds per week. Like eating, uh, seven negative quarter pounders.
  • Keep running. 2022 was the first year since 2017 that I regularly ran 10Ks again, and I want to maintain that in 2023. Run, Ned, run.
  • Finish my Gum Gum game. This also means further developing my mad skillz with the following software:
    • Unity
    • Visual Studio
    • Blender
    • Affinity Designer
    • Affinity Photo
    • Procreate
    • DaVinci Resolve
    • And more!
  • Do more bird art. It’s very Zen and I quite like how some have turned out. A goal of at least one per month seems perfectly doable.
  • Keep birding. Also, just keep taking photographs of stuff. This is also very Zen.
  • Finally finish my blog redesign. This can be useful in other ways, too, so it’s a priority.
  • Finally start doing some stretching. For real this time. Totally. Yep.

Weird bonus resolution:

  • Record an original song in Garage Band. Also, learn how to use Garage Band.

Bonus promise to myself:

  • Try to avoid resolutions next year that include “finally” in them

I think that’s enough. It feels like enough. I have a few more days to adjust as needed.
