I’ve put together a long list of resolutions this year, in the hope I’ll manage to complete at least one, given my dismal failure last year to achieve my one single resolution for 2011 (to pass my L5 pole course). So this year I’m including several cheats, such as #4 on the Pole list (should hopefully easy given I’ve been working at this all of last year. But you never know, given how much strength I’ve lost), and #2 on the Other list, which the Boy and I had previously discussed and is already on the Boy’s to-do for a weekend trip for 2012. Hopefully, this is a fail-proof way of boosting my ego and not feeling like a complete failure at the end of this year ;p. I’m cheating I know… but I have a full-time job and know my own weaknesses (e.g. procrastination), but still need little wins to cheer me up in life.

Pole-Resolutions:
1)  Achieve front / back splits on both sides
2)  Make significant progress on middle / straddle splits (target: by the end of 2012, achieve at least 50% of the difference between a full split and the split achieved at the beginning of the year)
3)  Perform a pole routine at least once (preferably in a showcase, otherwise for a group of friends)
4)  Pass L5 during the year
5)  Choreograph a pole routine
6)  Video-record at least 10 pole sessions / free-styles / routines during the year
7)  Bonus: pass L6 before the year end
8)  Target: monthly lists of things to work on

Other-Resolutions:
1)  Grow my nails (yep, again!)
2)  Go on a bike-trip or long bike ride
3)  Dive!
