Mid-Year Checkup

When the year began I set a few goals for 2007. Now that the year is half over, let's see how I'm doing...


  • To break the elusive 30-mile barrier with a long walk somewhere in the metro area.

Done. On April 15 I walked 37.5 miles from Liberty to Olathe. And I'm just hours away from embarking on an attempt to break 40.

  • To weigh 20 pounds less on December 31 than I do on January 1.

I've lost four, so I have a lot of work to do to meet this goal.

  • To have an HbA1c blood test result of 5.9, which would essentially be diabetes-free.

Done. I've had two of these tests so far this year and both have been 5.9 or below!

  • To visit 50 new bars while still achieving the above two goals. ;)

Done, provided I lose 16 more pounds. :) This goal proved easier than I expected... I hadn't counted on getting to do any major barhopping trips this year and instead have done several. So far I've been to 121 new bars in 2007. :)

  • To throughly clean my place sometime this spring, and clean out my damn closet.

Oh HELL no.
