Twenty-Ten.

Or will it be two thousand and ten? That's not important. The topic now is new year's resolutions.

I think I've seen about 20 Weight watchers AND nutrisystem commercials within the past hour or so. Granted, I think I battle my weight daily and not just for 2-3 weeks at the beginning of January. So, I really thought and this is what I came up with:

1. Run a 5K by the end of the year. I've always wanted to be a runner and what's the best time besides the present? Plus, I know it's going to be hectic in 2010 with Step 2's and residency stuff. So 12 months to train to run 3 miles should be reasonable

2. Try to eat better on a daily basis. I think I'm one of the "Low GI" food hippies. I see the point of eating things that don't cause blood glucose and insulin spikes. Plus, with my unnatural fear of one day developing diabetes I think it would be good for me to embrace whole wheat and more fruits/veggies. Plus I think "eat better" than "lose 60 lbs" is much more psychologically healthy. Focus on the health, not the scale.

3. Be more of a minimalist. In being american I've grown up around the whole "excess" mindstate. I however really enjoy being more "bare necessities" and whatnot. So I'm going to try to make a conscious effort to only buy what I need and use what I have. Don't confuse this with pack rat. Just more questioning any and all purchases I make.

And with that, I'll see you guys in the next decade. haha.
