thepeopleseason | New Year's Resolutions

After getting the results of my physical on Tuesday, the doctor insisted I start getting more aerobic exercise--given my sedentary career, "around seven hours a week." In addition to a cholesterol level around 232 (which, granted, is lower than the 246 that I had before I moved here from Miami), she says my blood pressure is slightly high for my age and that I should avoid stress.

HA! AVOID STRESS! And they say some doctors don't have a sense of humor.

So here follows the list of my New Year's Resolutions:

Practice Tai Chi more (Don't disappoint the Si-Gong/make the Si-Fu lose face).
Go Rock Climbing more (I've got a paid membership at the gym...).
Minimize intake of french fries and potato chips.
batnandu asked me to add "Increase intake of fruits and vegetables (lettuce doesn't count)" What are you, my mom??!?
Minimize intake of soda.
Start running (or some other aerobic activity) and increase my cardiovascular endurance.
Keep my place clean.
Floss.

Yes, I realize that this list is probably about four days late, but I'm nothing if not a procrastinator; and, honestly, I don't intend to do anything about that.
