#3 Relearn Tai Chi

Hmmmmm . . . well I found an evening class
But it was a different style to the one I knew - all appeared to be arse-about-face

So come Xmas, I didn't

Still, got a pooch now - maybe that'll help take my mind off . . . er . . .

#4 Reduce B.M.I.

Well, it's changed

Unfortunately not for the better - 33.1!
Gulp

Or rather - not gulp

#90 Book List

More on this here - and more than I expected when I first added it to this list

# 82 Check out Mobile Blogging

Did - can't do it here in the UK - only available in the US

Shame ;-(

#4 Reduce B.M.I.

So, when I started this, my BMI was 31.7 - or Class 1 obese
Today, it's down to 30.4 !
Which is only just outside Overweight

Can't say I've been doing much to drop it - unless you count countless sprints (of course you can't, if they're "countless") to the commode* - but it's a starting point . . .

I think I deserve a few beers to celebrate!
.
.
.
But hang on!
That means I'd have to lose another 16 Kilos!
or 2 Stone!!

- Bugger the beers! Where's the whisky?




*The reasons for that may be explained another time

#74 Get Bike back on the road

Yes! Finally, after over a year, my cherished Hog; that male sign of passing years, slipping gears, mortality fears; my Mid-Life anti-crisis; the beast (well, not quite - it's a baby, really) is back: running, rocking, rolling & rattling

Out of commision due to house redevelopment - a ditch across the garden caused forced imprisonment - my baby is back - almost 5 years to the day of buying it. And it was typical: I bought it on a day with crap wet weather and got it tested & legal again on the same sort of day. I hope it's not an omen.

Freemind - Mind Mapping s/w

Came across this a while ago & found it really useful for working out what steps need to be taken to complete a project.

Freemind

If you're aware of what Mind Mapping is, it'll makes sense.
If you're not, you should definitely take a look & try it

The clever thing (or one of them) with this package is that once you've developed a mind map, you can export it to different formats (html, xhtml, Document, or Image) - really cool

And it helps fill out the 101

So far

Not sure I'm doing this right - I seem to be spending more time adding to the list rather than taking any off.

So -
To-do = 75 (so much for 101!)
Done = 3

Ah well

Can't keep putting it off

OK - what with procrastination being the enemy of progress (was that Lenin?), I'll call it a day on trying to think of these jobbies and just start doing them.
I'll get new ones as I go along & add them to the list.

Simple apparently

So, this picking 101 things to do lark - it's flaming hard!

Now having to resort to worky things to include - not what I thought this process was for but I spose if they need to be done, they need to be on it.
Or maybe that's the point: they're not necessarily needed but as I want to get them done they fit the criteria.

Anyway, as the viagra-taking vicar said to the bow-legged actress: it's still hard!

101 in 1001

Yes, this is yet another of those lists.
First seen (by me at any rate) at: http://www.triplux.com/1001/

Has all the instructions, etc: basically, pick 101 things to get completed in 1001 days - sposed to be better than the usual To-do list thingummys.

So, we'll see how I get on, won't we?
