Resolution Stats 1.5

Progress at last, I have lost 1.4 kg! This puts my BMI at 25.12, my weight at 70.9 kg. My Wii Age this morning was 25. So good stats all round. I have only 0.4 kg to lose before I reach my goal, and I am finally in the normal weight range.

On the task list side I have 24 Active Tasks. That is 2 tasks completed, and 5 new ones added. Never mind, I am going backwards fast here. Still it is the tasks getting completed that are the important things. I made good progress on a third task, cleaning the downstairs room. It has been emptied out, now just waiting for it to be dried out (after the storm on Sunday) before cleaning, and then I will make it my home gym.

So it has been a busy day.

Resolution Stats 1.4

I will go mad if I have to come up with an original name for these stats every day so I will use the Resolution Stats title.

The Wii Fit says my weight went up yesterday and extra 100g. Not much of a rise, but still not a drop. I will try skipping tea tonight and see if that jolts my body into burning fat. So at the moment my BMI is 25.62, my weight is 72.3 kg, and my Wii Age is 33. It goes up and down a lot, so long as I keep it significantly below my actual age I am happy.

I still have 21 tasks on my list. I completed a small task (refreshing my emergency water), and added a big task.

I have flooding in the downstairs room of my house, due to a massive downpour we had yesterday, so I need to dig a drain to stop it happening again.

Lack of Progress

The Wii Fit today told me that my weight has not changed since yesterday morning. Damn. At least it has not gone up. So still 72.2 kg.

The good news is that my Wii Fit age has reduced to 24.

I have 21 active tasks on my task list. This is better than it sounds because I have added 4 more tasks that should have been on there. The bad news is all of the tasks done have been routine, so long term progress is nil.

Happy Birthday Blake

My nephew Blake had his 9th birthday yesterday. You are growing up young man.

Resolution Progress

I am using my Wii Fit to measure my weight and track progress, and in the 100 days that I have been using it I have managed to reduce my BMI down from almost obese, to what it is now which is overweight, but just above the normal range. Although my long term goal is to reduce my weight down to a BMI of 22, my immediate goal is to reduce my BMI to below 25, so I am inside the normal weight range for my height.

Of course the Christmas/ New Year season has not helped, but I have still managed to keep my weight under control.

My weight this morning was 72.2 kg, or a BMI of 25.58. My Wii Age (based on a couple of balance exercises) is 33. Not bad.

I have set a goal for the 7th to have a weight of 70.5 kg, which is a BMI of 24.98. We will see how I go.

I have one job application in at the moment, so this is small progress on my goal of actually getting some income.

I have 25 active tasks on my task list. Hopefully I should get rid of a lot of the routine ones today (basically housework), so this number should look better tomorrow.

This week is planned. I have not been following the plan perfectly (hence this blog restarting today and not yesterday), but I am following the original plan reasonably closely.

New Year’s Resolutions

These are my resolutions for 2009:

· Keep this Blog going. I plan to update it every day (where I can get to a computer). As a minimum I will be keeping track of my resolutions, but hopefully I will find more to say.

· Get my weight down. I plan to get my weight down so that I have a BMI of 22 (which is in the middle of the normal weight range) by the end of the year. This corresponds to a weight of 62 kg.

· Earn more than I spend. This means getting more contracts or a proper job.

· Get my Task List down to 0 Tasks. This means completing all of the current tasks that I have listed, both 1 off and routine, and completing any additional tasks I add.

· Planning. Plan every week to help stop wasting time, so that I can achieve the above resolutions.

· Be in a long term relationship. A sad goal I know, but there it is.

Every day when I can I will blog the metrics I will be using for achieving these goals.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year everyone, and all the best for 2009! I hope it brings happiness, prosperity, and luck.

I have decided to re-start this blog as a New Year’s resolution. As it was it was becoming just a tramping log, which would only get updated one a week, and all the tramps were starting to sound the same. I will continue to discuss some of the tramps I have been on, if there is something of interest to say, but I will also be using this blog to track some of my New Year’s Resolutions (which I will detail in the next post). I hope to update this blog daily (when I have access to a computer).
