I am SO ready for the next resolution

Giving Up

Not Quite Giving Up Completely

Trying to find a way to salvage my electronic media fast, I decided maybe I could make myself accountable through transparency. Transparency in the form of exposing my digital activity through this blog – which would hopefully help me police myself.

For example, I could have all my web browsing activity displayed as a widget on my sidebar.

My browsing history today consisted of me, well… essentially searching for ways to display my browsing history. Yielding only two results – Hooeey and the recently shuttered Timelope. For a society obsessed with oversharing, there are few easy options for truly opening your life to the public.

Not giving up on this month completely. But I am looking forward to next month.

Will you help me decide what to do next month? I am looking at three resolutions:

  1. HEALTH & BODY – Live like a bodybuilder – that means eating, drinking, sleeping, and going to the gym like I’m training for a bodybuilding competition. This will be hard because I do not currently go to the gym more than twice a week at best, but I need to treat my body better.
  2. HEALTH & BODY – C,C,&P – Cut out caffeine, chemicals, and preservatives from my diet. This will be hard because I currently consume at least 5 servings of caffeine a day, but I would like to see what life improvements occur when I cut this stuff out though.
  3. PROFESSIONAL LIFE – Suit – Wear a suit every single day. This will be hard because I do not currently own one, but I would like to see if dressing more professional, like my college professors advised me, will make me ACT more professional.

So those are the options. Voting is open in the sidebar.

    give up on simple sugars — to my mind a much better bang for buck than giving up on the sweet, sweet coffee

    Meh – I did refined sugars last month – along with corn syrup. Was awesome, I’m still riding the wave!

    But isn’t coffee like really, really unhealthy? The only people I know who’ve given it up are in their mid-30s or older, so I’ve got a few years yet.
