Time to evaluate my progress for my Groundhog Resolutions, the 10th  
annual attempt at creating life-long habits for myself. I’ve discovered
that right after the end of the year holidays I am not mentally or  
physically capable of sticking with resolutions for the upcoming new  
year. I need a break so I take the whole month of January off to reflect
 and plan and start on 2/2 instead of 1/1.

I’ll check back in on myself on 6/6

Fun-

50 Books a year challenge: Up to 9 so far. Need to get a move on.

Fitness-

Calvinball: Acquired balls but need to dedicate time to learning the rules and enjoying

Yoga: Work in progress

More 5 & 10k obstacle course racing: We did it! Just today we ran the Warrior Dash. Now we’re looking into local 5ks and cause to support.

Consistent training: Working
 out with Tracy is mutually beneficial. Accountability may be the one  
thing I needed to maintain this. We’ve just started out this past week  
and so far so good for both of us. Will utilize digital encouragement as
 well with our Fitbits.

Consistent nutritional training: Work
 in progress. Bad food is too cheap and easy to acquire while healthier
 options are scarce and pricey. Looking at some non-meat options as
well  as eating at home more. Again, accountability is key here. No
Whataburger in weeks!

Hashing:   Waiting on warmer weather. Got called out by THHH Mismanagement for it too. Will be paying for it when I’m back on trail.

Hiking: Taken
 more than a few hikes this year and explored familiar and new trails.
Ancient Forest was extensive but limited access. Will go back. Also,  
urban hikes along River parks, Midland valley and Turkey mountain.

Geocaching: I am 0 for 15 so far this year. Um, what? Meanwhile, Tracy has decided to sign up and has found two that I wanted.

Meditation: Will be utilizing the same space as kickboxing and yoga for this.

Creative-

Complete my book: The plot thickens…finally.

Photo essay on a topic I am passionate about: Waiting for a topic and inspiration.

Video log every month: Landed on Vimeo instead of YouTube because I am getting rid of Google soon. So far just dark, grainy video of me looking tired but giddy for some reason.  

Leave inspirational notes everywhere: Waiting on weather to get better and people hit the streets. Send me inspiration.

Year in photos album: 2017 is just there, waiting on me. Cannot wait to see what 2018 memories I’ll have at the EOY.

Shoot more film: Buy more film. Ain’t cheap!

Find my muse: Found her. Now how to use her?

DAM: Constant work in progress here
