The final win-loss on my 2008 resolutions
- Get in shape I realized this one needs a metric or it wasn't going to get done. Late in December, I started a 100 day push. I finished out December on an upswing. I'm micro-blogging this in Twitter under #100days2fit.

I ended 2008 where I left it in July, at 40%. The big things I learned from this exercise: that measurable goals work best for me; to structure my goals so that I can declare victory over my part, regardless of what happens around me; and that six months into a year, my priorities will change. Not to mention that my major accomplishments in 2008 aren't represented here. For 2009 I'm going to try some different tools to reach my goals. They goals themselves are still pretty lofty, and that's how I like them.
