The revolution was a success! After a long guerilla war, you’re installed as the new president for life. As the last of the old regime is rounded up and imprisoned, you ready yourself for the future. While waiting for the presidential suite (formerly the royal palace) to be cleaned by the staff, you realize the enormity of the task ahead of you, it all seemed so simple when you were in the guerilla camp. There’s a country to rebuild, a new constitution to write, an agricultural sector in bad shape. You can’t do everything yourself. Who do you recruit for your cabinet?
BONUS: What do you call your new country?

I started on mine early this year (Mayan New year) so these are a few months old.
I Haven’t started my writing schedule yet and haven’t started the boxing class yet. I haven’t increased my flossing regimen.
I’ve pushed myself to run more. I have been eating better. That means almost no fried foods, refined grains or sweets and absolutely no honey BBQ fritos.

I resolved to not drink on consecutive work nights. I have messed it up a few times but last week I did it.

My sole resolution for 2009 was to start on my 2008 resolutions.
I can’t remember them all, but I think one of them was “More written correspondence in ’08.”
Soooo I wrote a thank you card to my parents and proceeded to lose it on the bus before it could be mailed. It is addressed and stamped. If you find it, throw it in a mailbox, would ya?
Another ’08 resolution was to start dance classes again. I am still trying to motivate.
Finally, the third ’08 resolution that I will attempt to tackle in ’09: lose a little of the holiday party poundage. Since I lost the weight from last year, but gained a little of it back I am counting this as a resolution that needs a second chance. (See resolution above for plan of attack.)

Mmmm, honey bbq fritos…
I still have not learned how to cook, but I returned to the gym this week. Hopefully my butt will be a lot smaller in a few weeks.
