Even once for 5 minutes will be grand.

Reminds me of a goal I had one year as a teenager.

- Ramp up my campaign of negative publicity agains Idris Elba to ensure my path to being the next James Bond is clearer.
- Try and attain my ideal weight; surely growing an additional 4 inches in my forties is achievable.
- Learn a new language; bogger west Cork isn't quite the addition to my CV I had hoped.

Who can save 400 quid a week on average salary and go to college?

Take up running again and do a few 5k races.

Eat healthily

Lose weight, which I'm hoping will be the result of the first two!

Read more and spend less time on the Internet and Facebook - this is going to be hard

Move out of home

Keep saving for my own place and keep looking for my own place.

I think that's enough!

Less drinking, if I can achieve that then I think other facets of my life will automatically improve.

Doesn't help that in both my social and work circles there's a heavy drink culture. It's up to me though to learn how to say 'no'. -_-

TheBeardedLady · 31-12-2014 11:20am

Realistic ones:

Finish this certificate and start a masters.

Move from Spain to England.

Save money.

Move more.

Cut out the glass of wine in the evenings.

Feel guilty less.

Apparently I'm like someone from France, with a 57% lower BMI than women of a similar age in Ireland... 52% lower than women of a similar age in the world... and still I know I could do with losing a few pounds.

I mean in total! After expenses like college/insurance and all the rest are taken out I'll probably only save 6-7k next year...20k I wish :pac:

Probably a silly question, but where's the calculator in that link?!

I am feeling so bloated and perma-hung over and unfit after the christmas that I think I will go on a health binge for January. Good food, some exercise and no booze for a month should see me right for 2015.

lukesmom · 31-12-2014 11:31am

Practise mindfulness more often

Not be so hard on myself

Withdraw from one of the medications I'm on which has caused me to gain 3 stone in 18 months!

Hopefully lose that 3 stone but slowly this time (last year I went feet first into an extremely intense diet and workout regime and caused my mental health to suffer again)

Take everything slowly and not rush or get too intense with stuff as that can make me unwell

Treat myself more

Get a different car

Do up our house more, flooring etc

Love all my friends and family as much as I do now

Not take things too seriously or to heart

Get more fresh air

Get my chihuahu microchipped

New TV for kitchen

Plant some beautiful flowers

31-12-2014 11:32am

Save loads of money

Get great at my job

Get faster

Run at least one and hopefully two marathons

Lose a stone

Bartyman · 31-12-2014 11:36am

Basically donating the price of a fiver a week. One less pint is only a good thing.

Have I got this right?

You're donating the price of a fiver and giving away a pint every week :eek:.

I'm on for that. If you just hold off on all the pints until this day next year and put the fivers in an envelope I'll pop down to Castletown to meet the man, drink and collect!

Cheers :pac:

Passed two sets of exams this year. It was a marathon but definitely worth it. Goals for 2015 are to continue with this success, and try to lose a good bit of weight. Thinking of doing the 5:2 thing and possibly taking up running. Also want to cut drinking down to 2 nights per week, read more books and save some money.

PizzamanIRL · 31-12-2014 1:47pm

I set day to day to goals so this thread isn't for me

Goals for the new year?
