2010 Resolutions

I hate resolutions. But there's so much I want to do and so much I've been putting off that I feel I need to set a few down as a marker for the direction I want my life to travel this year.

Unlike other people, I'm not going to create a master list of resolutions right here at the start of the year. That sort of huge glob of commitment gives me the willies, so I figure I'm going to try to set out one or two resolutions a week, and define some tasks that I can do to help me achieve my resolutions.

So, without further ado,

Resolution #1: Lose 30 pounds in 2010. That's a rough number, but I'll be much healthier if I can lose about 30 pounds. Obviously, this is something that will take some time to achieve, and will require some tasks along the way to help me get there. I recorded my weight yesterday morning, so I have my first data point for the year.

Resolution #1a: Drink 6+ glasses of water each day. I'm not much of a water drinker, and I know that I need to up my water intake. I've had dehydration issues in the past too, and I know from experience that drinking water helps me to lose weight. So, there it is.
