So far, I’ve been able to drop four pounds without really trying too hard. I’m simply watching what I eat a little more closely and making sure I’m getting at least 30 minutes of walking in every day. Using Fitbit to keep track helps. So does using healthmonth.com.

How I did it: Researched all the Hawaiian Islands, asked friends who had been there, and chose Kauai based on all the information I gathered. We flew there on Alaska Airlines, which has direct daily flights from Seattle to Lihue. Stayed at the Aston Kauai Beach at Makaiwa, a nice, if slightly older hotel, with lovely staff.

How I did it: NANOWRIMO forced me to write 52K words in a month. I'm sure 50K of them are crap, but the point is that I got them all out of my head and into a document that I can edit, work and rework. Read how I did it…
We’re getting ready to take our first real vacation in 7 years to Kauai. We leave next Wednesday and will be there the following Tuesday. Happy New Year!
Finally, I’ve figured out that the last 5 years of career-ADD have really been field research for this project. I’ve made a good start and plan to push on through. I think I’m finally taking this goal seriously.
