My resolutions for this year:

Lose another 5kg from a starting weight of 100kg (down from 105kg at the start of 2010)
Participate in the Paris triathlon (1.5 km swim, 40 km ride, 10 km run) and/or the Paris-Honfleur bike race (208km)
Update this blog daily (not off to a good start, so far!)
Write something
Generally be a good dad and husband
