Goals for 2011:
Learn to SUCCESSFULLY make bread! Anything I make that requires rising simply doesn't work!
Go to Yoga twice a week. I went to my very first yoga class last month, loved it, but can I stick to it...?
Learn to make cheese. I have been talking about taking a basic cheese-making class for ages - time to actually DO IT!
Lose a few extra kilos. Two years is too long to be still blaming extra weight on the 'honeymoon period'!
Be a nicer person. Lets face it, I'm a bit of a grumpy cow.
Appreciate my awesome life and the fantastic people in it. Surely the events of the last few weeks (Christchurch and Japan) should have taught me a life lesson in being grateful for what I have. Perhaps this is not really a goal? But since these life changing events I have realised how much I take for granted.
To be noted: Losing weight comes after baking bread and making cheese on this list... mmmm fresh bread and cheese...
