I just wanted to update everyone on my resolutions.  Overall, I would say that 2 of my 3 resolutions were successful.  Here are updates on each resolution.

1. Lose weight every month: I weighed in at 258 at the beginning of the month.  I weighed myself today and was 247! I would say that losing 11 pounds is definitely a success.  Now if I can keep it off and lose more, instead of gaining it ack, it will be very important.  We are turning our garage here into a gym with a boflex, free weights, stationary bike, and exercise mat, which should help even more.

2. Save 1,000 every month.  Unfortunately, I was unable to do this.  I had a few unfortunate losses in poker and I am withholding more money in my 401 (k) plans.

3. Complete 3 websites/projects every month.  Although I didn’t completely finish any of my projects, I have put myself in a position to improve even more.  If I dedicate 10 hrs of work to my side projects per week, I should be making a steady progression.

So with that completed, I would consider January a mild success, and hopefully I will improve to be 3 for 3 in the month of February.
