Yesterday<\/a> I mentioned that I’m starting to think about my New Years Resolutions for 2013. However, 2012 isn’t over yet! Time for an update…<\/p>\n

1. Read through the New Testament Twice<\/strong><\/span>
\nI am actually on the verge of pulling this one back from the jaws of failure! After doing very poorly on this resolution all year, in November I managed to work my way all the way through the New Testament. I’m now on my second round through. I’ve just finished the Gospels and should be done with the epistles by the end of this month. Boom!<\/p>\n

<\/em>2. More dancing<\/strong><\/span>
\nNot too bad. Not amazing, but not bad. I’m got in some more West Coast Swing, a little bit of Salsa and even the occasional bit of Country \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

3. Be more gentle with people<\/strong><\/span>
\nI’ve had to have a few tough conversations in the last couple of months and I’m pretty pleased with the way I approached them. Learning \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

4. No sodas\/fizzy drinks<\/strong><\/span>
\nStill going strong. Apart from the occasional desire to grab a coke, I don’t really miss them.<\/p>\n

5. Get into the best shape of my life<\/strong><\/span>
\nI am pretty much on track fitness-wise – I’m just trying to drop the last 5lbs. I just have to stick with the nutrition plan for the rest of this month!<\/p>\n

6. Complete reading list<\/strong><\/span>
\nIn getting back on track with Resolution #1, I’ve fallen a bit behind here. I’m currently reading Pope Benedict’s\u00a0Jesus of Nazareth<\/a>\u00a0and a book on the Second Vatican Council<\/a>. I don’t think I’m going to be able to finish the remaining books by the end of the month \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

7. Keep proper track of finances<\/strong><\/span>
\nSo-so. Meh.<\/p>\n

8. Tick something off my TODO list<\/strong><\/span>
\nIt’s more informal now, but still going well.<\/p>\n

10. Fast on Wednesday and Friday<\/strong><\/span>
\nStill good.<\/p>\n

11. Give up Facebook for 40 days<\/strong><\/span>
\nI gave up Facebook for Lent.<\/p>\n

12. Make an effort to dress well for Mass<\/strong><\/span>
\nStill good, and I even wrote a blog entry about it<\/a>.<\/p>\n
