I am still working at keeping my New Year's resolutions.  Most of them concern reading more books and putting more steps on my pedometer.  The last resolution is that I hope to complete a needlepoint canvas of a swan swimming under a full moon.  Frankly, I didn't fare too well with...

With the end of March (and the first quarter of 2013), this pedometer geek is still working on my New Year's resolutions.  For many, the common resolutions of diet and exercise have fallen by the wayside with the delivery of Girl Scout cookies.  Don't get me wrong; I am neither anti-Thin...

It is now March, and I carry on with my New Year's resolutions. I was more successful with some of my resolutions than others.  First, this pedometer geek, while still somewhat slacking, managed to increase my steps from not only December's dismal numbers, but also January's step counts....

New Year’s Resolutions often hold up through January for many people, but by February most resolutions have fallen by the wayside. On the other hand, I choose resolutions that I am motivated to keep.  In my case, my resolutions are centered on two things.  The first has to do with my...

The old year has ended; the new one has begun. However, with the ending of the old is a report on the status of the resolutions before making any new ones. To begin with, this pedometer geek managed to lose her pedometer midway through the month; thus, the step totals for December were some of the...

In November, I really slacked off in regards to my New Year's resolution of putting more steps on my pedometer.  To be honest, it was my worst month all year (except for January when I lost my pedometer on the tarmac in Nairobi, Kenya and I had no way to keep track).  This pedometer geek...

My New Year's resolutions took a big hit in October.  Well, my first resolution to read more books was not significantly hurt, but the totals on my pedometer really took a nosedive. October's numbers were the worst for the year (excluding January in which I had lost my pedometer and was...

More than halfway through the year, and I have not abandoned my New Year's Resolutions.  That is, I am still reading more books and I am putting steps on my pedometer.  Although this pedometer geek didn't quite manage 10,000 steps every day, I did have five days in which I exceeded the...

My New Year's resolutions are still in force.  It helps, of course, to choose resolutions that one is motivated to do, and more important, continues to do.  My main resolutions, as mentioned before, have to do with reading more books and putting more steps into my day (and onto my...

I continue working on my New Year's resolutions, and May was an exceptionally good month for both of them, actually.  The first resolution is to read more books, and the second is to put more steps on my pedometer. I am, after all, a pedometer geek. May was one of my best months ever in the...
