    New Year's Resolutions 2013

    Published: Jan 1, 2013 · Modified: Jan 26, 2015 by Mike Vrobel · This post may contain affiliate links · 6 Comments

    Here's to a prosperous 2013

    Finish my next book
    My next book is coming along. Slowly. After I finished the last book, I relaxed, and I haven't made as much progress as I should. I need to get back in the groove, getting up early and writing every day.

    Lose weight
    One of the few downsides to food blogging - my weight keeps creeping up. And up. It's up to…to…I'm embarrassed by what it's up to.

    Yikes

    What am I going to do about that? It's time to start counting calories again. Oh, and in a related subject…

    More vegetable posts
    I apologize for how meat-heavy the blog has been. I need to do more posts with vegetables. It's just that the main dish meat courses are fun to write about. Kale…not so much. But, I cook vegetables all the time, shop at my farmers market, get my CSA box every other week...I need to share those experiences in the blog.

    Read the cookbooks I have before I buy new ones
    My stack of unread cookbooks keeps getting larger. I need to read them before I start buying new ones. And spring is coming, with all the new grilling cookbooks - I better get reading.

    Happy new year, everyone!

      It's a Withings Wi-Fi scale. I love it, but it's pricey:

      You and me both. I need to hit the gym something awful. BTW, that's a cool looking scale you have there. What kind is it? Mine's busted and it was never accurate to begin with.

      Eat out LESS (except for ice cream), and BBQ / Grill at home more!
