January - Goals Revisited

I thought it would be a good idea to revisit the goals list I blogged about in November every month to see progress against them.

So, new year and a new start. Let's see where I am.

Diet
  • Eat less carbs, eat more protein & (good) fat
  • Stop partaking in office 'fat Fridays' EVERY week
