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

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

Take the stairs at least 4-5 times a week instead of the lift.
Do Wii Active Sports at home twice a week during my lunch break.
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.
Put in two new recipes in the monthly meal planner to try out and make ( one bake and one meal)
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: Dear Santa

Christmas Tree

Dear Santa,

We won’t be having our Christmas Tree up this year. It has been an extremely busy month coupled with the fact that we won’t be at home to enjoy the tree on Christmas day. Even though the tree won’t be up but could I have some presents under the virtual tree instead?

To make it easier for you I have listed down some items I would like to see for me under my virtual tree.

Spa Vouchers.
It would be great if I could have some spa vouchers to go for a massage to ease my aching muscles. We did go for an hour long massage when we were in Thailand but being able to go more frequently would certainly perk up my day.
Shopping vouchers
Shopping vouchers would be good too. I would like to revamp my current wardrobe and get some new additions. It would be great to get new clothes for the kids too.
Travel vouchers
I love visiting new places and with travel vouchers I would be able to save the hefty airfare involve in transporting the whole family out of Singapore to our chosen destination.
Helper on demand
It would be so ideal if I could get a helper on demand to do stuff like pick up the kids, clean the house or just baby sit them so that I have more time to go for regular Zumba classes and really be able to get down to ideal weight faster.
