Accountability
I am a 36 year old man with the desire to be healthy and fit. I know which ones of my habits are not helping but find I have a hard time sticking to a healthy lifestyle. I am going to take space here in my 'lab' area to record my progress (or lack thereof) in weight loss and to keep track of what dieting and exercise habits work for me. I will also try to track both of those as well as I can. Wish me luck. Wish me luck. I am going to take the next few days to start the habit of blogging here. Starting in September, I am going to make it my experiment, which means I have to do it every day. See you later.

August 2009
I am a back after a little hiatus. I have tried to come back and do some more experiments, but have been distracted. If you what to know some of what I have been up to, check out baldonpurpose.org.
So August is here and it is time for some new tests. These are personal growth ones that I think will bring me some happiness. For a long time, I have wanted to be able to play the guitar well. Last year I took lessons and never had any time to practice. Or I did not make the time. With the encouragement of lovely wife, I have decided to try again. To help me practice, I decided to make it a challenge/test. I am going to practice at least 15 minutes every day for the month. That's it. I plan to post my progress and to post my schedule for practice. I am following the online guitar lessons presented by Jusin Sandercore at www.justinguitar.com. If anyone wants to follow along with me. Please do. I hope to post the practice schedule that I am on here, but you know how good I am about posting.
The other test, which is going to be a little harder, to spend at least 10minutes doing something for my wife. That something cannot be chore that simply benefits her. In other word, I cannot just do some laundry and say that I have done something for her. On Friday night - I think it was after midnight, so I believe that counts as the 1st, I drew her a bath. Later that day I made some small token gifts for the cast of a play she was in. Today, the 2nd, I went with her to meet her parents for lunch to celebrate her sisters birthday and then I went again for dinner with her other parents and sister. She knew that I had a ton of work, but I think that I could hear something in her voice that wanted me to go to both lunch and dinner (I had planned to only go to dinner). So I did not think twice, and maybe she really did not care, but I changed my plans and went with her. Not a big thing, but it counts in my book.
Gotta go and get some rest. later-.
