New Years resolutions - what are yours?

[Yoghurt on a Stick]

I've got a few.

(1) To exercise my body a lot more than I do - which is currently not a lot.

(2) To eat more healthily.

(3) To systematically go through my Windows 7 for Dummies book for an hour every night. I bought the book quite some time ago and haven't looked at it since.

I think they are reasonable goals and should be achievable.

[fred quimby]

Cut out most of my smoking

Exercise some more

Stop Drinking as much

Yes I have visions of the Grim Reaper moving my hour glass to the selves nearer the front

[fred quimby]

Oh and they are not start tomorrow just early in 2014

[TheGayTent]

Mine is to cut down my supermarket bill by doing more shopping at butchers, bakers, and candlestickmakers.

Though in reality I might scrub the last one and replace with newsagents, pharmacies, book shops etc.

Oh, and second resolution is to complete an Olympic length triathlon in less than 4 hours.

[atomised]

Get back to running and general exercise and stick to it as I let it slip somewhat in the last couple of months.

To ease off on drinking and to start enjoying it again rather than drinking for the sake of it

As someone above said these are to be done early in the new year. Both very achievable

[thetime]

I lost 4 stone 4 years ago and slowly put 2 stone back on, so the next year it's all about getting back on it and motivated.

1) Sort my health out as much as I can. I've got nearly a dozen ongoing health issues that I haven't put the time and energy into taking care of and having regular GP appointments etc.

2) Write. It's over two years since I was writing with any sort of regularity about anything and I really miss it.

Other things I want to do, but those are very much the priorities mid-term.

[zero000]

1) Go back to swimming regularly, I've stopped going since I've left uni.

2) Go the gym more often

3) Try online dating. I'm a little unsure about this one, I don't like the narcissistic side Facebook brings out in people, which I think might be similar here, but I'll suck it and see.

[bunique]

Make at least one room in this house complete and hospitable.

Save some money.

Make another baby

[grumpyhack]

I'll suck it and see.

[Spindles]

I intend to save enough by May to be able to not work over the summer and then volunteer at as many festivals as I can fit in.

[Yoghurt on a Stick]

Happy New Year to you all that hang around these woods.

[grumpyhack]

Resolutions: Keep smoking, do at least four festivals this summer, take the caravan away for a couple of pre-fest trial weekends, try and get the garden into shape, keep smoking........

[Jackmypie]

Work harder.

Go to more festivals.. even if it means volunteering on my own as most of my friends aren't interested in festivals anymore.

Save save save so I can go travelling late on this year.

Get a six pack (atm I have a 2 pack but I'm pretty sure they're my ribs so it doesn't count).

That's about it really.

[Alcatraz]

Mine has to be lose weight and cut down on the drink. The second part should be easy enough. As yet, I've not formulated a plan for the first part

my main one is to make sure my health is at its best, as I'm sure that over the last year or so I've neglected it a bit too much (even at my young age - have seen people around me have problems which has me slightly worried) . other than that am aiming to keep a healthy balance so that by the end of summer I can achieve a half marathon without suffering too much, moving onto a marathon within a year

[lharris92]

yeah I like them too, but it's ages since Snickers were called Marathons.

[Uncle Liam]

Well I lost Five Stone since September so got to keep that off.

Moving and being more active.

Beer, gigs, festivals... NEW JOB.

[lost]

Less work more travel hopefully.

All of you talking about health being a NY priority. Good on you. I've been working out, daily, for almost two years now and the difference is just insane. So much fitter, feel so much better.

Anyway, I'm ramping up my fitness. In addition to the daily (or twice or thrice daily) workouts, I'm adding the Beachbody P90x (as in 90 days and Extreme). It's a bit scammy with the "buy our supplements" rubbish, a section you can safely ignore, but it is a good rota of exercises and is focused on trying to stick to a great diet. Also like the variations of the exercises.

January, February, March. Ninety days. A good start to the year.

[bunique]

I am toying between starting Insanity or Focus T-25 (both by same people who did P90x) - husban/ shift rota is screwing with my gym routine!

[PastCaring]

Overall, my major resolution for 2014 is to be happy! Having said that, I've just returned to the UK after six months in Europe, so my first priority is to find a job .....
