11 goals for 2011


Finally (and the people rejoice...)

When re-assessing my goals for 2010 I found that the ones that I achieved were generally my more specific goals. Bearing that in mind, here are my goals for 2011.

1. Lose 22 of the 31 kgs I have left to lose - ideally I would lose the entire amount but I want this task to be achievable and this allows for some setbacks or off-weeks.

2. Get out of debt (apart from student loans) - I'm hoping for this to happen in the first quarter of next year but we'll see how we go with my new pay transitioning over.

3. Organise a monthly social event with all my girls - I'm thinking a wine club?

4. Exercise at least three times a week - I hope that it's more than that but this also accounts for those weeks when I am very busy. If I find that it is too easy, I'll up the ante :D

5. Have monthly filing/organisational binges - I'd like to pretend that I could keep up with this on a daily basis but that's simply not true. Doing this at the end of each month ensures that things don't get too crazy.

6. Take the stairs whenever possible - okay, this one isn't strictly measurable but it is important that I stop looking for the easy way out when it comes to incidental exercise.

7. Dry-brush before every shower - the benefits seem to be out there on the interwebs and this post from Gala Darling the other day reminded me of it. I have issues with my lymphatic system so I'm hoping that this helps.

8. Moisturise daily- I really need to take care of my skin this year if I'm hoping it will shrink with me!


9. Read 52 books this year - already at 2/52 but rereading Anna Karenina so this will take me some time :D

10. Spend less than $60 per clothing item this year (except bras and dresses for extremely special occasions, ie. weddings) - this will be a hard one to stick to, but until I reach my goal weight I need to accept that the clothes I purchase will be somewhat impermanent. The reason that bras are an exception? It's impossible to find cheap
large bras in NZ that don't look "nana".

11. Make more - think before purchasing whether this is something I could make/bake/fake at home!

Any big goals for you, Scribblettes?

  1. Oh, wow! That wine club sounds like an amazing idea!

    Fantastic goals. I don't have any specific resolutions other than the fact that I want to a) network and meet as many excellent new people as possible this year; b) write more, more and MORE! c) travel as much as possible; and d) have more fun, all the time. Standard goals! ;D

  2. Good achievable goals you have there :)
    I especially wish you luck with the weight loss thing as I have felt really encouraged following your tweets on that one!
    My goals are really fluid and abstract this year: Find joy wherever I can in life and do what makes me happy.
    I figure there will be mini goals wrapped inside those that I can work on (staying fit and all those types of things) so I can achieve the big ones!

  5. FYI, the bendon outlet by the airport sometimes has some alright looking bras in the bigger sizes for a decent price. I head out there every so often when I'm in need. Have not paid more than about $30 bucks for a bra in a long time.

    Plus, next time you go through Tirau, stop at the bendon outlet there. Was spoiled for choice! Stoked to get a couple of cute bras for only $20 each (and in the right size, which is next to impossible for me!)
