Time for a\u00a0resolution<\/a>\u00a0update\u2026<\/p>\n

1. Read through the New Testament Twice<\/strong><\/span>
\nUgh. Really bad. Total fail. I’m moving to a new apartment this week so I’m going to try and reboot my routine.<\/p>\n

<\/em>2. More dancing<\/strong><\/span>
\nI’ve been a few times, but no, fail.<\/p>\n

3. Be more gentle with people<\/strong><\/span>
\nActually a few successes to report! Blessed are the meek indeed! Long may it last!<\/p>\n

4. No sodas\/fizzy drinks<\/strong><\/span>
\nStill going well. My desire for them has really diminished. On a related note, I’ve managed to stick with my two-caffeinated-beverages-a-day rule too \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

5. Get into the best shape of my life<\/strong><\/span>
\nFinally back on track! I was weighed when I went to the doctor’s a few weeks ago and rather horrified at my weight. I am now a man on a mission. My goals is to get my weight back to 155lbs, the weight I was when I first came to America.<\/p>\n

\"Diet<\/a><\/p>\n

6. Complete reading list<\/strong><\/span>
\nI’m a little behind schedule, but I’m at least back into a regular habit. In recent months I’ve polished off I’m not being fed!<\/a>, Confessions of a Mega-Church Pastor<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Pillar of Fire, Pillar of Truth<\/a>.<\/p>\n

7. Keep proper track of finances<\/strong><\/span>
\nI’ve actually been doing rather well here. I’m checking my bank accounts a little bit more regularly, plus I produced a flow diagram to help me understand where my money goes each month:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

8. Tick something off my TODO list<\/strong><\/span>
\nStill going strong. It’s really helping.<\/p>\n

10. Fast on Wednesday and Friday<\/strong><\/span>
\nI’ve skipped a few Wednesdays, but replaced fasting with some other kind of penance (forgoing a cup of tea, saying a rosary etc).<\/p>\n

11. Give up Facebook for 40 days<\/strong><\/span>
\nI gave up Facebook for Lent. It was rather refreshing. It has certainly changed my relationship with Facebook.<\/p>\n

12. Make an effort to dress well for Mass<\/strong><\/span>
\nI’ve done pretty well here, shaving, wearing a shirt, nice shoes etc. I have certainly been more conscious of it.<\/p>\n

All in all, not bad, but I really need to make an effort with those first two!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
