It’s the last day of the year and of this decade. It came up very fast, at least for me.

I was thinking about my new years resolutions the other day. Those little changes that we plan for the new year. Promises to ourselves to do things we always wanted to do, Somehow the fresh new calendar is supposed to make it easier to keep those promises.

Ofcourse we always forget them a few days into January. Or we put them off and never get to them.

But I was happy. for the last few weeks I’ve been believing that I finally kept one of my resolutions. To lose weight.

This year I lost 50kg.

I believed I had done one of my new years resolutions and was now planning a whole bunch of new resolutions for next year…

That was until I checked my new years resolutions post from last year and…

Losing weight wasn’t one of them. For the first time in many many years I had no plans on losing weight!

Isn’t it always the way.

But I’m going to make some plans for the new year anyway. I’m not going to let doing something this year I didn’t resolve to do the previous year make me not plan to do things next year.

So here’s my resolutions for next year -

1 – Get on a career path.

No more with the part time jobs as my sole source of income. Ofcourse I will need to get one presently for monetary reasons, but it’s only a temporary situation until the careery thing is on the go.

2 – lose weight.

Three reasons I’m putting this on here. One, because I didn’t last year. Two, because I put on a couple of kilo over christmas and Three, because even after the fifty kg loss I could still lose a bit more.

3 – Finish a Novel.

This one is obvious. And I’m going to put in so much effort that I might do this on three times over… If I keep on dreaming.

4 – Complete all of my other plans as well.

This one covers some other plans I’ve got which aren’t exactly resolutions but are things that need to be done which I can’t be bothered listing here because I’m typing this post out on my pda.

5 – Maybe consider giving up smoking some time.

Because I hear that cigarettes are bad for you. Supposedly.

Well, that’s it for now. Enjoy your new years, drink too much and spend the first morning of 2010 sick and hung over.
