So how did 2010 do for me?

All in all, not bad.

There are goals I met, goals I didn’t meet. There are things that came up along the way that I never figured on… like getting a dog. 🙂

But all in all, life is good. I’m fortunate in my life and while I may whine from time to time, while things may not always go the way I want, I know the general trend is better than most so truly I have no place to complain. I count my blessings and do my best to remember them.

How do I want 2011 to shape up for me?

Funny I should use the word shape. While my weight-loss was good and I am down 15#, I’ve plateaued at that level for some weeks now. It’s a combination of slacking on the “up-day-down-day” diet, stress, holiday/vacation time and wanting to enjoy some fruits of the season. I will get back on this because I want to drop another 25#… that should put me around 190# and I’ll see from there where to go. My “muffin top” is certainly shrinking and I figure around 190# it should be gone or close to it.

I also want to get back into regular empty-hand martial arts training.

I want more balance in my life with all the things I do… not spending every weekend doing some gun thing, be it at KR Training helping or taking classes, or wanting to go shoot a match, or hunt, or whatever. But yes, I would like to get to a match or two this year, as well as some training classes and helping @ KR Training. So nothing will go away, just pulling back and having more balance.

I have software I need to finish and release. More about that later. I need to grow my business.

I want to tour local wineries with Wife. We’ve done it casually, but I’d like us to do it a little more seriously. Keep notes instead of vague recollections on what we did or didn’t like. But really, it’s not about the wine, it’s about time with Wife.

I want to get the kids to the gun range more often to pick up their skills. I’d love for them to be the primary on a hunt, not just tagging along with me. I’d also like to do more computer work with them, be it working in Stagecast or other creative software.

Most of all, I want balance and sanity. I want peace. I want to keep myself reigned in, perhaps finding more things in my world to shed… I can’t pile any more on, so I need to get rid of some things. My motorcycle, for instance, is just collecting dust in the garage. Needs to get sold (because I’m not sure the guy that wanted to buy it is going to at this rate).

I wish you Peace for the new year.
