Resolution 2011

The end of the year brings new opportunities for goal-setting and evaluation. In addition to recommitting to covenants and life-choices, I have a temporal resolution for 2011.

I now publicly announce that my goal is to be more healthy and lose weight. To track my weight-loss progress, I am adding a little graph to my blog (on the right-hand side) that shows how much I've lost, starting today! The zero point will be my current weight, with [hopefully] negative values indicating weight loss as time progresses (only the most recent ten entries will be visible).

Here is the graph (it will show more detail as time progresses and I add more data):

So, what are your resolutions?
