This post is a little on the late side, but it’s still January so it’s ok, right? I did actually start writing it at the end of December, but then life did one of those mad rushy things and it got put aside for a while. But here it is, in all its scary glory…

1. Reach my goal weight.

My weightloss has plateaued recently due to a combination of Christmas, short evenings, too much work, the new work cafe (which serves ridiculously delicious food), and the loss of my Fibit (which I then replaced with the new model which promptly failed in the middle of a firmware update and passed out permanently. So I’m waiting on another replacement). Last year I lost 22lb, which is less than I would’ve liked but a good result overall. Anything down is good, right?

Sub resolutions: have a wardrobe full of lovely clothes, do the couch to 5k plan). Time to get back on it.

2. Learn JavaScript.

This is my scary resolution, because I’m not a coder. Coding is definitely my weakest (and laziest) area when it comes to anything web, and that’s mostly because I rely too much on other people. This is going to change this year.

Sub resolution: learn jQuery. I love it. I hate it. I want to love it more.

3. Experiment with a new creative outlet

I live to create. A new expression is always a good thing. Last year my focus was on baking, and that will probably take a backseat in some ways this year. I have a couple of ideas of things I want to try, and they’re completely non-computer related. Although if they end up anything like my baking, they’ll turn into a web-related thing somehow…

4. Get the new website done

It’s time for a new domain and a new look. I have plans, I’ve started building, but it’s going to be an incredibly long job. But worth it. Fingers crossed it all works out, because it’s going to be very different from how it is now.

5. Read 50 books.

This is my GoodReads resolution, and it should be easily achievable. It’s nice to increase the likelihood I’ll achieve at least one resolution ;)

6. Have fun.

This is by far the most important resolution. Although it had its ups and downs and started off terribly, 2013 was actually a pretty good year. It’s time to build on the fun, relax, stop trying to control things, and just let the good times roll.
