resolution type things...
Oooh new year. in a calendar way. I've noticed a lot of the people I value have had a rather difficult year in their reviews. However several have very exciting marriage/birth type years coming up! I think my 2008 can be sumarised as "a steeply improving curve for the last 6 months"
My "resolutions" were set in my new year (just after 24th Novemeber) a few weeks back and I'm doing not too bad not too good so far -
Weight: target down 11 kg to 60kg by 19th April
weight loss is non-existant, but so's the gain despite a need to revisit Paul McKenna's "reasons why you are eating and....
Gym going: 2 times a week minimum
attendance at the gym hasn't reved up to the desired level however have worked out the major obstacle is my late leaving work/doing other things squeezes out gym time that I used to have when journey home from work was shorter. So now can address this.
Frame of mind: Retain positivity and purposefulness
outlook remains the most positive and that is probably the most important thing. Have realised I'm not so good at remembering that I have done things so has bought a mini diary with the hope that I'll write down one thing I do each day to help remembering. Purposefulness have to be a bit more strict on goal setting for weekends to actually know if I'm achieving!
Work - well still got 11 months to get a contract. have 3 applications to do by the 8th.
Relationship status: Plan was to think about this, and work out what I want before risking changing this one - or rather running the risk of meeting anyone that might lead to a change in this one! Still in the "more important things to do than go looking" zone. I suspect I'll be here for a while yet.
Activities: Meant to be more organised about both "change the world" and "have fun" stuff. I suspect the enthusiasm for Chrimble ate this up over the last month. I did see 2 gigs that reminded me I should go to more gigs. I completely failed to go to a couple of plays I fancied. I'm totally out of touch with what's at the cinema. These are fixable!
so diagnosis: positive
prognosis: on target for achievement if effort is renewed
