New Year Resolutions

1) Lose weight/get fit
2) Be positive EVERY day
3) Write about my feelings everyday
4) Keep a gratitude journal (started one this year but it went by the
wayside but it does improve your mood!)

I rarely make resolutions as I never keep them, but this year, that will change.

The one and only resolution I'm making it to join a gym (when I get the money together) and to get fit/tone up and loose the pot belly.

Happy New Year everyone, hope it's a great year for you all!!!

I always used to make resolutions and have given up on them within a few weeks, but last year was the first time I actually achieved something. On 31/12/09 I stood on the scales at 178lb and swore I would lose weight. Yesterday the scale said 138lb!! So thats a 40lb loss in the year!
This year I hope to keep up my good eating habits, keep exercising and get back into my jogging and skipping. Also hoping to start yoga soon.
I think the whole thing with resolutions is to keep reminding yourself why you made them in the first place, I never thought last January I'd be able to fit into a size 8 skirt yet here I am wearing one!

My new years resolution this year is to be happy & make 2011 the best year yet for me. As part of that, it also includes losing 2stone I'm not overweight, but I know that if I lost the weight that I want to that I would look & feel a whole lot better than I do at the moment.

Vinta81

See inside of a gym.

Don't be a dial-a-drunk.

Smile more.

Birroc

Try eating things that I don't currently like (or think I dont) e.g. cucumber, beetroot, celery, liver, soya milk etc etc

Acoshla

The usual eat better, exercise more blah blah blah.

Work my bum off and be successful.

Learn to live with my boyfriend's awkward job and it's awkward hours (and to actually pretend I like it, that's the bit I struggle with!)

Learn at the ripe old age of 25 how to keep my bedroom tidy and not throw clothes in a heap, an idea that has eluded me so far....

Learn how to walk in high heels without falling down or crying in pain.

*Finally* shake off the niggling health things that have been plaguing me for a year and a half, this really is a must, because they get me down more than anything else, and I hate what I'm like when I'm in that mood.

Yay for 2011!

NeuroticMonkey

The massive one for me is Worry less/Be more positive/Stop trying to control every aspect of my life.

Others include eating healthier so I have more energy and get back to my 3 times a week gym routine as many weeks as possible.

Take more photos....and be in more photos

Get my TKD blue belt or blue tip.

Get into my Master's of choice which involves leaving this godforsaken country for a lil while

Eat better, which I can't wait to start after the Christmas eating madness-feel so unhealthy at the moment. Want to lose a bit of weight too. (All that said there's no food in my house at the moment, meaning breakfast AND lunch tomorrow will be based on white bread. Oh dear.)

Work hard at my job, enjoy it a bit more and be as good as I possibly can at it. At the moment I'm working around a variety of locations, my aim is that by this time next year I'll have worked up into a position where I'll be in one permanent location.

If I do manage the above at any point during the year, it'll mean I'll get a bit of a routine going again, so I want to join some kind of evening class. Photography maybe, or dressmaking.

Make more of an effort to keep in touch with friends of mine that are living in different countries/counties, cos I miss them! Must also fix my skype to help with this.

Try to keep my car clean. I know that sounds weird but it's always such a mess, I never care and then someone asks me for a lift and I'm mortified! It's so disgusting at the moment after our NYE roadtrip!

Try to do all the ironing of my work clothes once a week in an organised fashion, instead of running round the house in the morning muttering obscenities about being late and ironing toast crumbs into my skirt cos I spent an extra 10 mins in bed. christ, I hate ironing.

Read more books and less AH threads In fact I reckon I need to limit my internet usage in 2011, I'm in such a bad habit of spending all evening with my laptop on my knee!

Start running again.

And finally be nicer to the OH-I was a really down and grumpy there for a while after changing jobs and the poor fella had to put up with a whole lot of whinging. Which he did, always cheered me up and made me tea because he's fantastic. Want to have loads of fun with him in 2011 and do as many nice things for him as I can, cos he deserves it.

Daisy03

My new years resolution is to learn to drive. I also want to take up kayaking. Hopefully will do a course during the summer (once college exams are over) and finally, not sweat the small stuff so much.
