It's a new year, and I'm going to be the same me, but, you know... So I have some goals I'm looking at for 2018, and seeing as its the new year, I suppose, technically, they're new years resolutions. There are a whole bunch of things that I want to achieve this year, but I'm going to start small, set intelligent goals, and build on those successes. With that in mind, my goals for the next five weeks: 1. Start each non-work day with 5 burpees and 60 seconds of planks. This is just about building more active habits and trying to get better at doing the things that I currently avoid. 2. No more than 1 takeaway meal per week Whilst I do think there is a lot I can do to clean up my diet, I figure this one small step will be a big leap towards my goal of losing weight 3. Go back to training 4 days a week, starting with just my primary movements each day, and adding a movement to each workout each week until I get back to full workouts. With the birth of my Son, training has kind of taken a back seat, and I do miss it. So, I'll be joining the new years resolutioners in crowding out the other regulars at my gym. Personal goals: 1. Develop a budget to help make better financial decisions It's not like I'm falling behind on my bills, or slipping into a negative debt cycle or anything, but it's pretty clear that I could be doing things a lot better if I was just a little bit smarter with my money. So the plan is to take the first steps to achieving that. 2. Write 500 words a day 5 days per week. This is part of a plan to write 200k this year, including the two camp nano's and nanowrimo as well. I'll probably end up writing more in later months, but for now, 500 words per day five days a week will have to do. And to keep myself interested, I'm planning on posting here three days per week to keep all of my stats updated, and each time I will post a new years meme that I chuckled at. That is all. I'll let you all know how I go.
