This morning's weigh-in: 335 lb.
Goal for March 19: 315 lb. (again)
Discrete projects to finish:
Finish Daughter's dresser (20 hrs)
Setup TiVo for cable box feed (2 hrs)
Reorganize/clean home office (4 hrs)
Scan remaining photos (8 hrs)
Edit/burn camcorder video (8 hrs)
Build subwoofers (12 hrs)
Rebuild/repaint guitar (8 hrs)
Daily goals:
Exercise each morning (cardio burndown, situps, pushups)
Get 7+ hours sleep
Arrive at work by 7:00 AM
TKD at least 4 days/week
Monday 1815 - 2045
Tuesday 1945 - 2115
Thursday 2000 - 2045
Saturday 0845 - 1315
Keep in mind that my unfulfilled project list is only those things I can do right now, without requiring additional expenditures (since I'm putting my finances on a diet too). To accomplish the first 3 daily goals, I need to be in bed by 10:00 PM. Getting to work by 7:00 AM (and not having to worry about making it to Daughter's TKD classes during the week), I could in theory put in 9-10 hours per day and still be home before 5:30 PM. Monday evenings would be shot, Tuesday evenings I would have about an hour and a half open, Wednesdays are D&D nights and Thursdays I'd have a good solid two hours. Fridays would be a wildcard, because if I get enough hours in before then, I can take the day (or at least the afternoon off).
I went into that little analysis thinking I'd be saying how little time I had to get my projects done, but a quick back-of-the-envelope calculation says that I have 28.5 hours per week when I'm not sleeping, working or TKDing (even with a full workday on Fridays). That should be plenty to knock off my big project list by the time I'm 39 on March 19. Perhaps I'll even get around to learning German and the guitar this year (also things I can do without further expenditures).
