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?

Writer’s Workshop: Zippy Comfort Items

 

My family

 

There are a few things in life that brings me much comfort whenever I feel down or am having a bad day.

1. My family

They are my pride and joy. Even though they may drive me up the wall at times but without them around there will not be solace.

blue flowers

2. Flowers

I love roses and blue roses are my personal favourite. They always lift up my mood and make great deco around the house.

Chocolate Cake

3. Chocolate Cake

It is my go to comfort food whenever I feel down. Sometimes I will bake my own if I have the time or else will pop by the nearest cake shop and purchase a piece.

the boys

4. Being outdoors

Sunshine and being at the park or the beach really helps me feel more relax and at ease whenever I feel tensed up.

Teddy bear

5. Teddy bears

I couldn’t find a picture of my teddy bear so took one of Tiger’s girl’s instead. Both of us love our teddies and they really bring us lots of comfort.

What are you comfort items?

What is a must have for you?
