New Year’s Resolutions
New Year’s Resolutions are a funny thing. I’ve made them so many times before, but have had a problem keeping them. This year, I’ll deal with them as if they were objectives in my normal job. So I need to keep my goals SMART! Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and with Timescales.
- Lose 4 kg by June and keep it off!
- Play squash at least once a week. That should help resolution #1 and help improve my game.
- Face one thing I fear this year. Baby steps! This year it’s most likely skydiving 0_0
- Read at least 30 books this year. I failed last year’s 21 book challenge which I started in August, so 30 books in a year might be more attainable.
- Create at least one new illustration a month. It’s not hard for me to create new illustrations. It’s making me actually find time to brew a nice pot of tea, sit down and get drawing, that’s the problem.
So Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all have a great start to 2009 ^_^ So what’s your resolutions?
Oh and as of midnight of New Years eve, I am now 25. Scary! I need to reflect on that soon. And on that note, Mr H wishes you all a Happy New Year too!

I am finally back! Glad you are still busy blogging!
I never make New Years resolutions, I am terrible at keeping them!
You do not appear to need tob lose weight, maybe I should take up a sport to tone up after baby, I’m not too worried though, might help now Christmas is over!
Hope your Christmas was a wonderful one! x
