// 2012 Intentions, Week 1: 01/01/12-01/07/12
In the past:
lose weight
wake up earlier
get better grades
Now:
run a mile a day
drink 2L water a day

Or, my mom will cook it for you and...

Better skin (duh)
What? Men: 3L, Women: 2.2L
“eight 8-ounce glasses’ is actually 1.9L (which isn’t enough water!)
BUT all fluids (for example, lettuce has water) count toward daily total

balancepath replied to your photo: I am also a master fish chef, if you didn’t know…
A master fish chef? I love to cook. Last year I set myself the goal of learning to cook fish, since fish is the hardest thing to cook well. I have largely succeeded, just so you know!
I’m not actually a master fish chef. I’m a master chef eater, though! I’ve eaten whole fish with bones...

Is this by January 21st? I would love to do this!
Sigh, there’s no Missing E to make this pretty :(
I wanted to do it for my birthday, which is on January 18th. I’m turning 21, so I thought it would be appropriate to do 21 acts of kindness by then. No, not ‘appropriate’, but, ‘kinda cool for...
