The anti NY resolution thread

Bambi985

It's four days into the new year and I'm already sick of the constant diet ads on TV, the non-stop spam in my inbox advertising "incredible gym deals", the colleagues that can't stop talking about "veganuary" and the tupperware brigade that can't stop extolling the virtues of all the money they are going to save this year from their lack of Pret sandwiches and takeaway coffees.

Inevitably in three weeks we will all be back to our 2017 selves, so this year I'm getting ahead of the curve by just not being arsed and being my same fabulous, sugar-addicted self. New year, same me.

Sitting here eating the leftover Celebrations from the office snack drawer - definitely into double digits now - haven't been to the gym since before Christmas and I've been swearing like a trooper all day. I plan on a G&T or two with a good friend this evening and I'll probably get two takeaway coffees tomorrow because this week is dragging the arse out of me.

What non resolutions have you been keeping up since 2018?

Donald Trump

Was your Jan 2017 resolution to join boards.ie to post crap like the rest of us?

My non resolution has been to continue on in pretty much the same vein as I usually do. Yesterday I ate a box of Milk Tray. Today I had a Supermacs Festive 5 oz burger. Now I did look at runners in Elverys so that was some small move in the right direction

I am in the process of a career related thing which will be wonderful if I get it but that would be happening regardless of it being new year or not. Also still working on the "you are good enough" mantra. Apart from that sure I'll happily continue to drink all of the drinks and eat all of the foods

I definite won't be going to New York.

People still watch ads???

May all your worries last as long as your new year resolutions.

No tv here/ box sets and netflix here. I continue to swear like a sailor when the need demands. Ill eat what i want when i want. Gym. Whats that?
New years resolutions - crap.

I don't make resolutions but I DO make travel plans at the start of each year. I firmly believe in having things to look forward to on the horizon. That doesn't mean that I don't believe in living in the moment but we all have down days and on the down days, it's nice to have some future fun to contemplate.

This year's plans:

Various places in Ireland
Edinburgh
London
Berlin
The Algarve
Maybe Iceland again if I can afford it. I'm obsessed with the place.

Nice work!

Another one to add to the list - continue to get irrationally pissed off at HMRC for taxing the arse off me whilst simultaneously continue to fail to understand tax codes and why more money seems to translate to "less, actually" once my salary comes through.

I'm also still in the office so sod that work/life balance bullsh1t too.
