Time repeats itself.<\/p>\n
Following are my New Year’s Resolutions for *2006*<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n Well, I’m just now getting the hang of #1. My non-smoking days each month were 6 in May, 6 in June, and already are 9 in July (with only 5 days where I smoked more than once). I should easily break my goal of 12, and am shooting for a par of 20… the cigars just aren’t as addictive as the pipe, and I’ve only smoked my pipe on 4 days this month (I’m almost out of pipe tobacco, and have promised myself to not buy more).<\/p>\n #2 is out of reach. April (March?) was the first time in 9 years I have not been able to make my credit payments. But I’ve been single (#3) since late February, and if I can keep that up for, oh 4 or 5 years, I’ll probably have #2 back in shape.<\/p>\n #4 didn’t happen. I tried, I really tried, but cutting back on the supplements caused new problems and changing diets brought back old ones.<\/p>\n #5 is in progress again. Note that I had gone from 280 in Oct. 2005 to 262 as of Jan. 1, 2006. I’m at 255 now… can’t seem to lose quickly, but it’s a good trend. The last time I was scaring 240 I had a 2-week-long flu and didn’t feel like eating at all. And #6 is in progress again, although I hurt more the more days I go out walking (and the walking is harder, since I’ve moved to a hillier area). I’ve joined SparkPeople<\/a>, which has been helping some.<\/p>\n Still can’t think of anything else I need to do; i.e., nothing to add to the list. My self-esteem is improving, I am getting more opportunities, I have a much nicer apartment than when I wrote that original list, I’m keeping busy…<\/p>\n Hugs, Time repeats itself. Following are my New Year’s Resolutions for *2006* Break the habit of smoking. I smoked for years without being addicted; the last 2 years or so have not been that way. I don’t have to quit, just have to stop wanting it… smoking once every 2-3 days is not that bad, and […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-625","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/peacefulhippo.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/625","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/peacefulhippo.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/peacefulhippo.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/peacefulhippo.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/peacefulhippo.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=625"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/peacefulhippo.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/625\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/peacefulhippo.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=625"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/peacefulhippo.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=625"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/peacefulhippo.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=625"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
