I can&#8217;t say we bought any new cookbooks, but we did at least go through the cookbooks and pick out new things to make. So on the whole, you could say I stuck to this one.<\/p>\n<p>#2, <em>Play more video games<\/em>, easy one. Check!<\/p>\n<p>#3, <em>Get a reasonable workout program and stick to it (for more than a week)<\/em>. Failed miserably. With the exception of getting my arm in shape for softball last spring, I barely visted the gym. Like the Cubs, I will try again this year.<\/p>\n<p>#4 <em>Play golf at least twice a month (in the summer)<\/em> I had my best golfing year ever, and I played a lot more than in the past. Which also cost more money, but what are you going to do? I even acheived my goal of scoring under 95 (92) and was pretty consistently hitting the mid-90&#8217;s by the end of the year. I hope to continue that this summer, and maybe even score under 90? The way things usually go with golf, I&#8217;ll be back up in the 120&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p>#5 <em>Don&#8217;t buy crap<\/em>, #6 <em>Sell extraneous computers and equipment on eBay<\/em>, and #7 <em>Keep the desk and office clean<\/em> were all intimately related. For the most part things went well. I sold off two computers, threw away a bunch of other junk, bought a paper shredder, and for the most part kept the office clean. It&#8217;s a work in progress and I still tend to hang on to paper way longer than I need to, but on the whole, things are looking good.<\/p>\n<p>And the last one on my list, <em>Ride bike at least once a week in the summer<\/em> failed pretty miserably as well. I won&#8217;t make excuses. It just didn&#8217;t happen.<\/p>\n<p>Well looking back things went very well over the past year. This year I&#8217;m going to work on some of the things that didn&#8217;t go so well from last year, namely  working out more since I was just absolutely beat when we were skiing last week!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since I haven&#8217;t come up with any resolutions yet this year, I thought I could go back to last year&#8217;s and see how I did: Cook a more diverse lineup of food (buy cookbooks) Play more video games Get a reasonable workout program and stick to it (for more than a week) Play golf at [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-566","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-personal"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pf4VN-98","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.colianni.net\/aj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/566","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.colianni.net\/aj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.colianni.net\/aj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.colianni.net\/aj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.colianni.net\/aj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=566"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.colianni.net\/aj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/566\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.colianni.net\/aj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=566"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.colianni.net\/aj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=566"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.colianni.net\/aj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=566"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
