New Year, a time for progress

I just decided that I need to make a few resolutions for the coming year, and if I don't write them down, they won't mean as much. If I write them in a public place, maybe they will stick better; we'll see.

I need to get back to more regular physical activity. I've held myself back because of some minor ailments, but I should be able to get back on track now, so I resolve to attend martial arts classes more than just once a week, if at all possible, and exercise at home more often as well. This includes the exercises that I have been doing to strengthen my shoulder that has been bothering me. I also need to build up my stamina if I hope to test for my first degree black belt in February, as I hope to do.

I also need to spend less time playing poker on line that I could be spending with my family. I don't want a game to take time away from my relationship with wife and son.

Those are the two major things on my mind that I wanted to record before I lost the initiative to do so. There may be more to come, and I might as well use this space for them.
