Happy New Year 2009. Overall I would say year 2008 was a pretty good year. At the beginning of the year I set my new year resolution to lose some weight and be a healthier person. I realised that I was a litle bit too fat that i became a rather unfit person. By unfit I meant I got tired very easily. So have I achieved that goal? Well, I didn't start right away. I started working out around april until now, and I have to say I achieved my new year resolution!! I started to go to the gym 4-5 times a week, watch what I eat most times of the year, I tried to have a more active and healthier life style. Figure wise, I haven't lost that much. I was 67 kgs with 30%++ of body fat, now im 66 Kgs with probably 20-22% of body fat. I lost most of my fat of my belly and my hips. Im able to fit my old trousers that I had not been able to wear in two years.

It feels awesome to be fit and healthy, and Im not stopping! In this year Im setting a goal to be 70 Kgs @ 12% body fat. Will maintain the same strategy, train hard and eat clean. Carb loading during the day and minimal carb in the afternoon. Hopefully I'll be able to achieve my goal, and show off my abs next summer :p.

Other than my personal well being, I think I've improved a lot as a programmer. Overall I would say that 2008 is the year I started to be more active to improve my skill in my leisure time. Here are brief re-caps in things I started doing in 2008:

  • I started blogging!
  • I started to read blogs and tweets from some of the greatest minds in programming world.
  • I started to attend ALT .NET user group.
  • I started to explore programming concepts that I came across but never had a chance to try it at workplace.

I think im quite happy with my progress as a programmer. Im still going to do all of the aboves and more! I'm going to try to better manage my time to actualy do something worthwhile, something that can make money. Im thinking of creating a website, not sure what its about, but I have some ideas. This is going to be my target in 2009, Im going to start to write a web application. 2009, its gonna be an awesome year.
