As we stumble head into 2023, it’s time for me to shame myself reflect on how I did on my 2022 resolutions. To read the details, the why, etc on my 2022 NY resolutions, check out this 2022 resolutions blog post. Go ahead, I’ll wait.

Welcome back! I thought it would be best to tackle these one by one, and then at the end, I’ll give myself a final score.

2022 Resolution #1: No drinking for a year.

Result: I DID IT! I didn’t have a single drop of alcohol in 2022, despite being given countless opportunities. I’ll share more on this later. For now, let’s celebrate me having the ultimate willpower and going dry in 2022. Score: 12/12

Resolution #2: Do a Peloton workout every day. I did NOT complete this challenge. I went all of January and February without missing a day, but then I traveled for a work trip and forgot. From that point on, completely gave up and only did 6 for the rest of the year. Boo. Score: 2.5/12

Resolution #3: Post a blog every day. Result: I DID IT! Well, I have a couple of days to go, but I already know what I’m going to write about. It’ll be easy to wrap this one up. I’m proud of myself for this one because I don’t shoot 40 weddings a year anymore, so coming up with new topics every day really pushed me out of my comfort zone! Score: 12/12

Resolution #4: Sell an NFT. Those were all the rage as we went into 2022. Then they kind of dropped off the face of the earth. I did create and list one for sale, but honestly, I never even checked to see if it sold. Score: 3/5

Resolution: #5: Write and Publish an online class. Result: I DID IT! I wrote a class about composition and lighting tricks with your iPhone! It was fun to record and edit it, and I learned a lot! Score: 5/5.

That brings my 2022 score to 34.5/46. That’s a solid C, lol. As an “A” student, I’m not loving that score. I always loved those teachers who would drop the lowest score. Because everyone has a bad day once in a while. Nevertheless, I’m keeping it honest here. I hope to do better with exercise in 2023 especially because I’m in relatively good shape.

How did you do on your resolutions? I would love to hear! Also, I’m in the process of writing my new ones for 2023, so I would love to hear what yours are!

Talk to you soon,
Dale
