Chinese New Year: Resolution Do-Over
Happy Chinese New Year!I believe in making New Year's resolutions, as long as they are manageable and measurable. I am still proud of saving the money to buy my first car with my first New Year's resolution ever. I resolved to save $15 in tips per waitress shift. I had never saved a dime prior and I had the car by May.
Since that long-ago year, I have kept some resolutions and abandoned others.
This year, I made a resolution to exercise. Yes, you can laugh. Exercising, that final step to getting to my ideal weight, is a resolution broken as quickly as it is made. I only vaguely thought about how I would execute my resolution.
Now it is January 26th and I have barely moved. Today, I admitted I am failing to keep my 2009 resolution. But then I remembered: today is the Chinese New Year.
All is not lost. Do over.

Kia ora Katie,
Your words on exercise and resolutions had me cracking me up over my morning coffee. Tara could have written those words! Yet I recall both of you getting to the top of a mountain here in New Zealand. All is definitely not lost, as John Walker, the great Kiwi 1500 meter Olympic gold medalist said, "The hardest part of exercise is putting on one's shoes and getting out the door".
Have a fantastic day.
Aroha,
Robb
Robb,
I think I figured out a solution: the stairs. We live on the 18th floor; I have a built-in Stairmaster. No gym fees, no blustery January weather to deal with.
