Resolution #354: See if I Can Finally Figure Out How To Climb A Rope...

Date: 12-20-2014

Due Date: 12-20-2015

The Resolution: I never figured out how to climb a rope, granted the first and only time I ever really tried was about 25 years ago during the Presidential Field Challenge thing we had to be a part of while I was in elementary school.

Part of the problem was that I was a fat kid and didn't have the upper body strength the other problem was that I didn't really grasp the technique. I remember having some kind of cartoon physics going through my head as I just clung to base squirming like an uncoordinated inchworm.

I never revisited this challenge because it seemed so pointless, but now I'm kind of intrigued.

 I have no idea whether or not I can climb a rope right now but I do think I can figure it out this round.

We'll see.

Now I just need to find a rope to climb.

Result #354: I Failed To Find A Rope To Climb But Know I Can At This Point Anyway…

Update #1: The Conclusion.

Date: 12-20-2015

Another day, another failure.

I'm not in the mood to go into detail about this failure. It's the same as every other explanation. I was really good at working on these resolutions up until moved back to San Diego where I shifted my focus on how to make a living on my own terms and have lost more and more enthusiasm toward life in general as I go.

I have bursts of optimism about the future as I'm starting to strategize a new plan but I feel no hope for the present and don't always have the energy to get out of bed let alone stick with a fitness plan.

The problem is, I just don't care right now and am looking for a reason to live. Unfortunately… the way the world is these days I am too hung up on figuring out how to survive financially to focus on my basic needs.

Hopefully… my outlook on life will change… as it has in the past… and if it does I will work on my health in general… also as I have in the past, and if I ever get to the point where I can climb a rope, I'll be sure to let you know.
