As for my 2009 resolutions:
- I had a V on friday night last week – to give me a boost before drinking with friends after work. Purchased from New World supermarket for $1.80. Talking about fuel espresso – I will go and get one now!
- Exercise is going reasonably well, and my girlfriend and I have taken to playing hacky sack (footbag) on warm evenings in the park… It is actually more intense than I expected and helps us spend more time outside.
- Watched Yes Man the other night, I am trying to provide more yes responses. It is time to say yes to a coffee.
Decided that I should blog these independently of local business plugs. Also these are a count down to relocation in London, as such week 3 is really 8 weeks to go.
Welcome to 2009… which appears to be an exciting year indeed!

This is just a quick post to outline my new years resolutions… which are my first ever new years resolutions in my current 30 years. The following list will continue to be updated as I decide what it should contain:
- Focus on getting back into shape; I’ve been a little lazy and I’d like to improve. Goal: Build over the first month up to at least 3.5 hours per week of low aerobic exercise.
- Finish building my fitness diary website. Goal: Prior to April, then I will be able to promote it to an international audience.
- Give up drinking V energy drinks. They are now ridiculously expensive and I could spend the money elsewhere… at almost $3 a day, it adds up! Goal: Don’t buy V.
- Promote one of my favourite small local businesses every week on this blog.
- Provide more positive support and reactions, or more simply: say yes more. Though not necessarily to everything! As in the “Yes Man” movie. Goal: Say yes more often.
- Spend more time outside! Goal: Difficult to measure. Target the majority of one evening (after work) and one weekend day outside.
