Writers Workshop: Go For it!!

Typewriters

2013. A new year and time for new resolutions. This year like last year I have made up my resolutions and blogging goals which I wish to achieve this year.  I love making resolutions and goals. For me resolutions are a rough guideline to what I want to achive while goals are the more specific details on how to get about achieving them. Having both keep me focus and more discipline to get them done.

This 2013 is a year of change. I have written down my resolutions here so will not repeat them in this post.

However I’ll be listing part of them here and share out how I intend to go about achieving them.

For Myself

  1.  Focus on more healthy eating and exercising. Target weight is getting back to 60kg first.
  2. Reading up and learning more about how to use my DSLR
  3. Test out the recipes in the cook books that I have acquired in 2012.
  4. To brush up on my French and Japanese.

Specific  Monthly Goals based on the above.

In  the month of  Jan I will be attempting the following

  1. Take the stairs at least 4-5 times a week instead of the lift.
  2. Do Wii Active Sports at home twice a week during my  lunch break.
  3. Pay special attention to my diet. Am reading up some books on how to keep the weight off and proper portion control so I know how to prepare healthy meals for  myself and family.
  4. Put in two new recipes in the monthly meal planner to try out and make ( one bake and one meal)
  5. Go through my French and Japanese notes and make flash cards on certain topics for the kids.

 

How do you work towards your goals/resolutions?

Do you have a plan too?

    Great goal setting and planning. It is good to see that you are thinking “Lifestyle adjustment” for weight control and not dieting. To help with portion control, if you are using the standard sized dinner plate, replace it with a 6 inch or 7 inch plate. The standard dinner plate is 9 inches. Our eye’s have a lot to do with how full we feel. If we see a “Full Plate of Food” our mind will tell us that it is a full plate of food, it won’t tell us “that’s a small plate” Great idea, trying at least two new recipes per month..a kitchen is adventure land.

    for the first time in like EVER, I’ve decided to cut out carbs so that’s what I am working on and for the business I work on little by little everyday.

    Hello Triberr mate!!! I enjoyed your post and I think your resolutions (and plan to achieve) rock!! I have found that having less resolutions as opposed to more helps me prioritize, and then taking specific steps for those. We’ll see how it goes in 2013!

    This is good… you are so specific… don’t you want to set goals like a target weight… or something like that?

    hmm I need to refresh my Japanese too. I was so good at it but then it just slipped away because I didn’t have sparing partner to talk in that favorite language of mine :(

    My 15 yr. old wants to learn Japanese. We were thinking of trying Rosetta Stone. Do you have suggestions? Regarding resolutions I need to get back on track with my exercise, and I know I will. I’m working on my blog as well, hoping to create more community.

    I’m so glad I found you through VoiceBoks :->

      @Ann,
      I feel that the best way to learn is through going for regular classes so there is proper interaction with the instructor. I’ve tried tapes and videos but do not find them as useful. They do make great supplementary material though. Good luck with your resolutions.

    I want to shed off extra pounds. Maybe 10 pounds this year. Much better if I can have more. Also, I am planning to have DSLR early this year. Maybe before the end of the first quarter.
    Happy new year!

    No New Years resolution for me this year. Just being a better person. More healthy, active, spiritual, and knowledgeable. In the fall I hope to get into Grad school, and get my orchard growing.

    This year is about growth!

    great goals and resolutions. I usually make short term goals every month. Sort of a challenge for myself. This year I decided to set some long term goals for myself too. Things that need planning. I wish the two of us good luck! {:-Deb
