Basketball on the Brain

I will get to an update on my New Year's Resolution - Weekly Challenges soon, but while I have your attention, I want to be sure to give my brother's brand spanking new blog a shout out:

Basketball on the Brain

I believe he is using this as a platform to discuss anything and everything related to basketball - college, pro, court at People's Park, etc...  If you are interested in sports or my brother, I would suggest checking it out.

Now...on to my New Year's Resolution - Weekly Challenges.

While I haven't been able to blog about it weekly, I have been adhering to my challenges.  Here's the break down:

Week 1: Brush teeth left handed. Fairly easily to accomplish.  I did spend longer brushing my teeth because I was worried that I wasn't doing as thorough as a job.  None of my teeth have fallen out, so no harm done.

Week 2: Don't hit snooze.  This essentially became alarm clock roulette.  I didn't hit snooze, but I didn't necessarily wake up either.  Several times I drifted back to sleep and LUCKILY woke up a short time later.  Since then, I have continued to hit snooze almost every morning.

Week 3: Read in bed before going to sleep.  Accomplished.  I read some research papers and People Magazine.  More than once, I fell asleep while reading, but I was already in bed so I just rolled with it.

Week 4: Morning jog. The mornings that I could, I did.  Monday morning would have required waking up at  5 to get a jog, and that wasn't gonna happen.  Friday, Saturday, and Sunday I had to wake up early to commute to a convention in Burlingame, and waking up earlier wasn't really "in the cards".  I probably didn't pick the best week to take on this challenge since I had some many days that required me to wake-up extra earlier already.

Week 5: Do a Sudoku.  I'm still in the midst of this challenge, but successful so far.  One Sudoku from the newspaper during the week, and today I dug up my book of Sudoku puzzles and did a bunch of them.

So far, so good.

Remember to check out my brother's blog.

Catch ya later!
