Goals
First Day of the New Year
Jan 5th
OK I know the post says the first day of the new year, but I’m not talking about the 1st of Jan. I’m talking about yesterday, the 4th of Jan, Christmas is over, the new year celebrations are finished and things are back to normal, back to work and soon enough college. For the first day of the new year “routine” I was happy with it. I did mention in my previous post, The New Year Post, what goals I wanted to achieve for the new year, these are not resolutions, these are goals.
My first day involved an hrs walk, healthy eating and a good night at work. I am just happy that things are off to a good start and it is all coming together nicely so far. Lets hope that I didn’t jinx it by speaking too soon.
The New Year Post.
Jan 1st
Unsure if I should make this a review of 2009 or an objective post to which I can look back at come the next new year and see if I have achieved any of the goals that I set out in this post. A review would involve remembering stuff and deciding if I should include that. I think that it may be best to make an attempt to look to the future and see where I want to go, what I want to do and how I’m going to achieve them.
The first goal would be, as most people at this time of year, weight loss.
I want to loose at least 3 stone in this year alone. That’s only 1 stone per quarter, which is only 4lbs per month and that is not a lot. With regular exercise and being careful with what I eat, weight loss shouldn’t be a problem. The only obstacle I see here is my schedule during the week. With college during the day and work in the evenings, it can be hard to find time to make a meal. I will have to start bringing packed lunches.
The next goal would be to clear as much of my debts as possible.
My biggest debt would be my car. Not only do I have the costs of keeping it on the road, petrol, tax, insurance, maintenance but I also have the monthly repayments for it. The repayments will be complete in September of 2011. Clearing this would be a big weight off my back.
Weight loss and clearing debt are the biggest goals for 2010 but not the only goals. Some of the smaller goals that I want to set for myself are learning PHP and MySQL, getting back into playing the piano, putting an ad in the papers for PC repair.
Those are my main targets for the year. I may come back to this post frequently and add some more goals to it as I remember them or think of them.
So for now I will wish you all the best for 2010 and hope that it brings you all that you hope it does.
