As is traditional at this time of year it is time to start making vague promises about how you are going to approach the new year and ‘improve’ yourself.  In my defense I have already started on a number of these, but in true new year resolution stylee it’ll be interesting to see which ones last past a couple of weeks.

So I present the following, not yet fully thought out, resolutions;

Get Fit
Time to build up some upper body strength and finally develop a muscle, somewhere… anywhere will do! 

The membership of Virgin Active is already a few weeks old and things are looking OK so far; swimming nearly every day, and I have gotten over my initial embarrassment of only being able to weight lift the equivalent of the membership card above my head :/

Two Belts
Not entirely sure if this is possible, but gonna aim for two karate belts higher than I am currently…  Everyone needs a stretch goal!

Get Offline
Time to get offline a little more and give people a rest from my omni-presence on the Internet.  Not a full retreat from the series-of-tubes, no more train wrecks hopefully this year, just a lessening of the addiction

This is also connected to…

Get Out
Apparently there’s something called ‘life’ out there and some of my friends actually exist out there in a physical sense!  So methinks it may be time to get out and have a few drinks with friends, partake of life, stop the ‘stalking’ element and get a grip..

Hopefully getting out on the bike a lot more will help with this, which I find is helping clearing out the ‘ol cobwebs and gives me a great bit of personal time even for the short period of time I do get out there.

So there you go, a set of vague’ish promises that may die an inglorious death before January even ends!  As ever, you will be the judge..
