2013 New Year's Resolution

Thoughts_Arrive

I've never achieved my new year's resolutions over the past few years so I will not bother this time.

bec E

To exercise more to loose this fat ass

I have to think about it. I like to make a few resolutions for each New Year.

To reduce my carbon footprint. I've already begun this resolution actually. :oops:

Yay for free student bus passes.

I'd like to say give up smoking, but I've got to be realistic so that one may get put on hold.

1. Stop spending all the money I get paid just because it's sitting there
2. Stop using my overdraft facility
3. Save a little so christmas isn't such a shock (again)
4. Loose a little weight (ok maybe more than a little)
5. Learn to say no with confidence, still a bit rubbish at that one
6. Go to bed earlier so I'm not knackered all the time

I think they are all attainable so fingers crossed.

So I started dreaming about New Year resolutions last night.

I think I have a few good ones in mind.

Has anyone else started to make plans? :geek:

No caffeinated drinks except hot chocolate (I started the stoping about 2 weeks ago)

2010 is my running year - focus on a running lifestyle. It means I have something to look foward to at the end of the year; do I eat healthier, do I consider running as necessary as reading; do I fit into the shirts from years ago

I've already jumped right in and have been riding the bus to and from work everyday, in spite of the cold ass weather.

Those look good ms. haiku.

I'm thinking about health too but also about changing some routines that use up too much time. The older I get the more I feel like time is passing faster and faster (!) so I need to use it more effectively. :geek:

i've given up Diet Coke and all sodas. it's a lot tougher than i thought it would be, but i've already noticed the difference in how i feel.

That is tough....I used to drink 4 or 5 regular cokes a day...a few years ago I cut back and now drink no more than 2 a day, I don't think I could give it up for good

I think giving up drinking coke would be harder for me than it was to quit smoking! :shock:

I gave up coke last year at this time. It was VERY hard. Without any change in diet or exercise, I lost 10 pounds almost immediately. I'll never drink one again.

This year my goal for 2010 is to forgive my brother.

I stuck to one 2009 resolution: destash yarn. I didn't buy any new yarn for new projects, and I didn't buy any new canvases for needlepoint projects. I knitted 9 Christmas presents, and one baby blanket with yarn I obtained in 2005, 2007 and 2008. All my knitting yarn is used up!

I also completed 3 needlepoint projects. This was a great year for destashing the yarn projects! Also, whereas I used to be more of an impulse yarn shopper I don't have that impulse anymore. Pretty cool!

Finishing old projects is very satisfying isn't it?!

Being the environment advocate that I am, I really wanted to reduce my carbon footprint. Last year I began recycling virtually anything possible, and now do everything I can to avoid driving my car...feels good to actually act on something you believe in.
