This year will be a bit of a challenge for me.  Last year was a little different.  I was in weightloss mode so couldnt really indulge at all, this year.  Bit different.  I knew i could indulge to some extent but whatever i intaked i would have to work off later.  Well i didn&#8217;t do to bad really.  I did gain a bit of weight but im sure thats a mixture of both christmas and muscle build.  So will just be good over the next few days and make sure I get my brain back out of christmas mode and back into work mode.<\/p>\n<p>Enough about that, looking into the new year (i will post about 2010 in a few days) I am going to try and make a few changes to the blog.<\/p>\n<p>First thing i want to do with the blog is I am going to change the &#8220;New Mal&#8221; Category.  From now on that is going to be called Adventures.  Because thats exactly what the last year has been and this way i have somewhere to put all the posts about all the crazy adventures I am sure there will be over the coming years.  I am also going to try and start blogging a bit more often and try to put some purpose to some of the categories I have.  I get a lot of questions about how to lose weight and what i have been doing so I am going to try and share some of those tips, tricks and recipes!  Now I am not going to turn this into a food blog or anything like that.  It will still be about me but more about sharing some stuff that worked with me for you.<\/p>\n<p>With a new year comes a new set of &#8220;resolutions.&#8221;  I don&#8217;t really like the world resolution.  I prefer Goals.  So we all knew my goals for 2010 were pretty big, 2011 wont be as big, just more of them.  So here they are!<\/p>\n<p>1.  Learn to Ride a Bike before I turn 30<br \/>\n2.  Try to get over some of my fears (boats &#038; rollercoasters\/thrill rides).<br \/>\n3.  Try to overthink things less<br \/>\n4.  Do a pull up.  Thats right just 1 pull up!<br \/>\n5.  Finish 2011 around 90kg<br \/>\n6.  Get back into my photography<br \/>\n7.  Go for a hike at least 4 times during the year<br \/>\n8.  Be the #1 Consultant at work (also a bucket list item)<\/p>\n<p>These are all really achievable goals this year and I am going to try and get them all done over the next year!<\/p>\n<p>Now you all know I have a bucket list.  These are the things im looking at wiping off in 2011:<\/p>\n<p>1. Travel Around the World in First Class<br \/>\n2. Fly a Plane<br \/>\n3. Try to get over my fear of boats<br \/>\n4. Try something I don\u2019t really want to do<\/p>\n<p>In the next few weeks I am going to post my Travel Bucket List for 2011.  This will cover pretty much all the extra little bits and pieces that i wish to do with my travels in 2011.  All those things you plan to do while you travel.<\/p>\n<p>What are your goals for 2011?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the Festive season in full swing, it becomes a time to reflect on the past year and look to the year ahead.
