Goals

Here I am in Oman and it is the start of Ramadan. This is an opportunity to set some new goals and achieve them!

One of my current habits is to wander across to my favourite Bar/Restaurant and have a few beers, and sometimes order Prawn Noodles, which is one of the chef’s best dishes. I probably do this three or four times a week. As a result the muffin top has grown! And I want to get rid of it. Actually in England we call it a beer belly!

During Ramadan they are not allowed to serve alcohol, which is a bonus for me on my goal. Plus this year they have decided to shut down completely for renovations. So, my first goal is to lose weight – I am looking to shed between 5kg and 10kg – more would be a bonus. I think this is a reasonable goal and it is achieveable. I did it once before, though my lifestyle here has allowed the weight to creep back!

My second goal is to become more consistent with contributions to my blogs. I am starting here, with a series of posts about setting and achieving Goals!!! This is for my business blog ‘Phoenix Education’. My other blog is an outlet for my creative writing, and includes excerpts from my books, jokes, cartoons and funny real life stories.

So here we go – check out each day this week for more ‘Goals’.
