Never again.

Buy a car is only certain fail. Help parents more, read more books are pretty much same or maybe small improvement. Gained some weight but now I am back around 95-96 kgs. Find a new job is maybe. I handed in my notice and searching for it atm.

end of year bump, definitely made an effort more this year after moving back to Houston and viewing it as a long-term thing. Quite the interesting experience honestly since I never really tried before.

also pretty close to actually having a girlfriend as well so yeah 2017 was great

I drive again on a regular basis

Am way off this target. Only watched 214 so far.

[ ] drink less soda/especially red bull (I'm gonna give myself diabetes pretty soon if I haven't already)
I'm gonna give myself half credit for this one. I've stopped drinking soda with sugar in it completely

[x] sleep more like a normal person (this is being written at 2:47am)
Having a baby fixed this one. I get about 7-8 hours a night with no naps.

[x] run at least 52 games on POG (pretty sure I ran more than this last year, but quality > quantity)
Haven't counted, but I'm pretty sure I've done at least this amount (Probably more)

[ ] yoga (I'm tall with appalling posture and my neck/shoulders/back is in constant agony)
No. Not done any yoga and my back/neck/shoulders is still in the same ****ty condition.

[x] vegetarian week
Became a full blown vegetarian in May. Just quit all meat and fish cold turkey (pun intended) one day. Surprisingly easy to do.

[ ] vegan week
Haven't attempted this because of the vegetarian thing, but I've done a few vegan days in a row without really trying.

[ ] not get a hangover (They definitely get worse as you get older, but luckily a lot less frequent)
Partial credit on this one. I've had 1 hangover total.

[x] profitable year of playing poker (I play small stakes online recreationally and infrequently deposit, but extremely rarely withdraw)
Not played too much poker, but winning $2k in a $3 tournament made it very easy to have a profitable year. Would possibly be close to break even on the year without this score.

[ ] become good at POG games (I'm average at a bunch of them and pretty bad at the rest currently)
Swing and a miss, but I'm having fun which is the main thing.

[x] continue all the positive stuff that I currently do
No clue what this is referring to, but sure, why not.

Can pretty much call this now. Not a great result, but good in the (non career) bits that matter.

I know it's a weird one, but yeah, it actually worked out like that.

Wife and I did shifts and it was agreed that I sleep at night so that I'd be coherent and useful during the day. Now the little guy is sleeping 7 til 7 and my sleeping pattern has stuck.
