How did I do in 2009?

As this is the second to last day of the year, I decided to go back and see how I did on my 2009 resolutions.
  • In 2009 I did not improve my diet in dramatic fashion, I did not keep a food diary but I did try to lessen my fat intake, this is a good resolution that I'll carry-over to 2010 (I'll blog my 2010 resolutions tomorrow) minus the paperwork requirement.
  • I exceeded my expectations regarding my second resolution for 2009, I really made an effort in my Aikido practice this year, from teaching three times a week, to attending various seminars, Aikido travel trips to Boulder, to completing the paper-work for my Shodon rank.
  • I'll rate my third resolution as a qualified success for 2009. I did increase my activity level by running although I haven't been doing it as much with the winter weather.
  • My forth resolution for 2009 (writing/editing on my SLC novel) did not happen at all, I didn't have the will or desire to tackle this project, I did try to keep up my writing through my professional work and this blog. I am not sure I'll carry this resolution over to next year, maybe this novel needs to remain in limbo until I feel ready to tackle it again.
  • My final resolution of finding some outside consulting work was a limited success, I am currently working as a consultant on a local library's website that I'll finish up in 2010.
