more resolutions

Because January 16 is not too late to be adding new year's resolutions.

One evening last week I was having a conversation with the guy and I ended up making a joke about how I was too chicken to actually attack anyone if I ever needed to, and realized how pathetic that makes me sound. I got the idea then that I want to take self-defense classes this year and learn how to kick some ass. I have not found a class yet, but I am doing my research, and this will happen by the end of the year.

And today I am starting my pretend diet, or what I prefer to call "getting back to how I used to eat." As of today I am cutting out soft drinks (like I used to do for months at a time), only drinking coffee when I have soymilk to pour in it (no nondairy creamer, which is all we have at work), and not eating meat (like I did for almost two years). While I still tend to eat fairly healthy, I used to be a lot healthier. I've noticed my conviction against eating meat has slipped lately, but deep down, I still care too much to let it all go. Maybe I need a repeat viewing of Food, Inc. to light the fire under my ass again. And I can use my Pinterest obsession as actual motivation now, by keeping a collection of vegetarian recipes pinned for lunch and dinner use.
