7/7 GHR Check-In
2018-07-07 05:00:00
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 8/8
Fun-
Get another tattoo: Coming soon
More camping: It’s hot y’all. And the last attempt was off asphalt and sand dunes. Fall cant get here fat enough.
More skinny dipping: Does a jacuzzi count? Then yes. When’s the next one?
Learn Spanish more fluently: Watching futbol and Spanish-speaking announcers helps(?)
Join a book club: I have given up on this one. Not enough interest for guys.
50 Books a year challenge: I have lost count but still going. Mixed signals here.
Snail mail friend: Eh.
Volunteer: Taking care of my business is challenging enough. Still looking for opportunities though
Fitness-
Kickboxing: Tae Bo for the win
Self-defense: Meh.
Yoga: Almost daily practice using the Sworkit app. Is it supposed to hurt when I stretch?
More 5 & 10k obstacle course racing: See above. It’s hot.
Consistent training: Still going strong here. I’d like to add more days.
Consistent nutritional training: Work
in progress. I’ve dropped soda pop and going with water, soda water and/or beer. Less eating out too. Small victories.
Hashing: Waiting on cooler. 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.
Geocaching: I am 0 for 12 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: Researching settings, plot, characters and more. Novel or short stories? Hmm…
Photo essay on a topic I am passionate about: Waiting on warmer weather and a topic.
Video log every month: Landed on Vimeo. Will post a link when it gets interesting but so far just dark, grainy video of me looking tired but giddy for some reason.
Leave inspirational notes everywhere: 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
Create vs Consume
2018-07-06 05:00:00
I am reading and curating a lot lately for various reasons. Inspiration, mostly but also for reflection and knowledge.
What I am not doing lately is creating. I learn better by doing but haven’t been inspired yet.
This doesn’t make sense.
I’m torn. Should I “just do it” and learn as I go or do I study then practice what I’ve learned?

Soda Free
2018-07-19 05:00:00
After more than a few weeks (lost track of days) I think I’ve kicked the
soda pop habit. I still have cravings, headaches and withdrawals from
the cold, sweet concoction but have resisted. I’ve been managing with a
lot of water and soda water. So…yay me.
