January 5 Resolutions

Posted: January 5th, 2010 | Author: Clare Somerville | Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: , , , , , | 1 Comment »

This year I’m fashionably late in making my resolutions.

I have one residual resolution from last year: I must, must, must replace my melamine plates with real, grown-up dishes. Must! Another of my 2009 resolutions was to keep training with the goal of a 2010 figure show in mind. I’ve decided to postpone competition for as long as it takes to get my physique where I want it to be. Another few years yet!

On to 2010’s goals:

  1. Graduate from University of Toronto in December. I can’t wait to put a check mark next to this one!
  2. Decide what to do after I graduate. I’m excited if a little nervous about tackling this part!
  3. Bench press my body weight. My current PR is 105lbs. Pathetic!
  4. Get the dog.
  5. Learn how to do a handstand properly. So far I can do a passable headstand… sometimes.

Now that snow is here to stay in Toronto, I’m feeling terribly nostalgic for summer and warm weather! I love my Canada Goose parka, but not as much as I love sunshine. I took this picture in August in my parents’ garden.
