Mileage

One goal I have set for myself is to change my driving habits. I am a fairly aggressive driver. The new car was getting 25 - 25.5 mpg consistently before the change. Last week, I reset the mileage calculator and started driving thoughtful about mileage. The results






5 MPG represents a 20% increase! With gas costs up over $3.50/gallon, 20% savings is major. This is one goal that will push my resolve. I do not like driving this way. I'll let you know if I can keep it up.

Two week goals

This year, I am working on my personal discipline. I struggle to finish things, and to keep consistent on just about anything. Its a part of my character that I would like to refine. So I have started working on various goals, and set them for two weeks. At the beginning of the year, I was a vegetarian for two weeks. That launched a change in how the family has been eating. I am not continuing that goal because I feel no need to, but it was nice to complete my first two week goal.

Blogging is one as well that I hope to continue well past the two week mark. Look for posts labeled "Personal goals" for updates on how I am doing.

Blogging restart

I am stepping up my blogging. Initial goal: two weeks straight, but hope for more.
