With the goal of self-improvement, I made ten New Year's resolutions a year ago, and managed to keep seven of them. That return-on-investment makes me think it's worth doing again, so I'm hereby soliciting suggestions for ten resolutions for 2019!

I'd like to ban "processed foods" from my diet but I don't have a good definition of "processed" allowing me to rule out the sort of "food" you find in a US gas station (long trips; bad planning; desperate measures!) while still letting me to eat, say, Wensleydale. Ideas, anyone?

I would also like to improve my French, German and Polish. My best idea was to aim for a certain vocabulary size (which I could measure with Anki). I thought a target of 2500 French words, 1000 German words and 500 Polish words would be a reasonable target. Any better ideas?

Wildcard suggestions are good, too! Last year someone suggested meditation, which I hated and was one of my failures. But I liked the suggestion, and I'm willing to try most things, though they do have to fit in with my itinerant lifestyle. Looking forward to the suggestions.

Maybe a minimum number (3000?) of push ups per month? While at it trying not skip more than one day of 'em? ;-)
-
That's something I considered, actually (and I was thinking similar numbers). Definitely fits in with travelling. My only concern is that there might be better (more muscularly productive) ways I could expend that same energy. But if nobody can suggest any, I'll take this!

This also crossed my mind. It would be an enormous achievement... to spend two whole weeks not working! Maybe I could nail it in ten days? I really want to include this, but I have to convince myself it's feasible first! I'll start researching.

Complete n pullups in a row, where n in (1,20) depending on how much you want to challenge yourself. Similarly hold a handstand for m seconds, m in (10,60).

Tempted by the pull-ups. The handstand sounds like a disaster waiting to happen... but maybe I'll try one against a wall to get a feel for it.

Not sure if you eat red meat, but if so then keeping it at a maximum of 500g per week, if not cutting it out entirely.
-
That doesn't seem like a bad idea at all. I would find it hard to go fully vegetarian, but this seems achievable.
