improve my fitness
Motivation

I eat a pretty healthy diet and I’m not overweight (my BMI is 22). But I have weak muscles and am very unfit in that I can’t jog for more than a minute or two before my lungs seize up and I come to a gasping halt.

Up until now, I’ve relied on walking to and from work every day to keep my weight in check, but it worries me to think I couldn’t run a reasonable distance if I had to (especially in an emergency).

I’m going to focus initially on improving my cardiovascular fitness, and then see about doing some sort of strength training.

Done - yay!

This goal got pushed to one side for six months or so due to finances and unexpected circumstances, but I finally got there a couple of weeks ago. The system is working beautifully – no hassles whatsoever. :D



become a better photographer
Project 365 and Flickr

I feel like I’m definitely making progress with this. I started a Flickr-based Project 365 challenge in October, which involves taking and posting at least one photo every day for a year. It’s sometimes tough to maintain the commitment, but I’m learning a lot through daily practice and experimentation, and also from providing and receiving feedback from other Flickrites.
