In addition to my 2014 goals, I decided to have some themes for this year. Themes are the new black. Reflection During the past two years while I’ve been in school (in addition to working full-time at a job that requires lots of brain work), something I’ve had precious little of has been time. I’ve […]
As you know, I love setting goals. And what better time than New Year’s Day to do some goal setting! As usual, I have a bunch of fitness related goals, as I find having a SMART goals ((specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound)) really motivating as I know what I have to do when it […]
2013 Goals Achieved(y/n) Comments Lose the 15 lbs that I gained since starting my MBA N I’ve lost ~7 lbs, so that’s something. Pay off my car. Y I’m now completely debt-free! Run a sub-2 hour half marathon. N I didn’t even come close, but I did manage to reverse my trend of doing worse on […]
One of my goals for 2013 was to complete 13 items from my list of 101 things to do in 1001 days. To help facilitate this, I actually picked a goal for each month and set forth on those goals that required a long-term investment (e.g., do a 365 photo challenge, do exercise every day […]
Clearly, I’m on a roll of blogging about my goals for 2013, so now let’s look at this one: Make 10 meals that I’ve never made before. This one I made a concerted effort to achieve, with a spreadsheet to track ideas of things to make and then to track when I made them. Cornish […]
And while we are talking about my exercise goals, let’s take a look at how I did on my pushup goal! Goal: 1,300 Completed: 1,385 Success! I completed 107% of my goal! Luckily, I did a *lot* of pushups early in the year (see Figure 1 ((I haven’t yet graphed my running and biking numbers, […]
To every yin there is a yang and the yin to my successful running year is the yang of my epic failure biking. I had grand plans of biking 500 km this year and I managed to fail that in spectacular fashion. I’d figured that between some fun bike rides and spending some time on […]
If I’d actually written all the blog postings that I have composed in my brain, I would not need to be writing four blog postings a day to reach my goal. I was *sure* that I’d written about my ever-changing running goal for 2013, but I cannot find that blog posting anywhere, so apparently I […]
The last few blog-less days here at NTBTWK are directly attributable to the fact that I’ve been in school everyday, 8 am ’til 5 pm, since Thursday. While sane people may have been out enjoying the epic sunshine and glorious heat, my colleagues and I have been holed up in an underground bunker known as […]
Where does the time go? I keep thinking about things I want to blog about, but then suddenly 9 days go by and I haven’t blogged a thing! I can give you all the usual excuses – work is busy, school is busy, being on my own means I now have to do all my […]
