Resolutions, Anyone?

Recommended Posts

So are we all thinking up some great resolutions for the coming year? I didn't manage to keep mine last year - I said I would write to my Mum in Yorkshire at least once a month. I didn't manage it - and I'm blaming technology for that! She discovered Windows Live Messenger, so she chats to me online most evenings; she texts me on her mobile, most days, and of course we speak on the telephone. I did write some letters of course, as it's always nice to get letters.

 

So, now I'm trying to think of what I can do THIS year - has anyone got some good ideas yet?

I didn't manage to lose weight last year but going to try again this year. If I can give up smoking after 25 years as a new years resolution I'm sure I can lose weight. My friend has lost 6 stone...yes 6 stone!!! and becomes a Slimming World consultant on the 12th Jan so my resolution starts on the 12th when I join her new class. The leaflet drop for her on the 3rd may help me get started. :o

*To get my maths equivlency course by the time I complete my FD course.nope didn't get much help did I! lol

*To try and complete the Adult Leadership Qualification (ALQ) by the end of the acdemic term. Still working on it.

*Get a job I want after completing the maternaty leave contract in summer.ah that darn job, ended up with a better job in a school!

*Oh and try to loose another stone in weight.not quiet met that goal but lost 10lbs!

 

2010 goals:

*To gain a GCSE grade C or above in English, plus attempt a C grade in Maths BUT be happy with a lower grade!

*To just enjoy work! lol

Definitely to give up smoking :o I really really am going to do it this time.

Also going to get fit - well fitter!

I was kind of impressed with the wii adverts before Christmas, the ones with a balance board and how it can work out an exercise routine.

Lo and behold, Christmas morning found me becoming the owner of a wii with sports resort and balance board thanks to my lovely sons - still finding my way round the technology but having fun doing so!!

You lucky thing you! I'd quite like a go on one to see what it's like

 

Still a little stunned by such a welcome and unexpected present! My daughter-in-law to be has one and she is coming back with my son on Tuesday and staying for a week or so - she is going to help me get to grips with it all and sort out a personalised exercise programme - really looking forward to it and meanwhile enjoying several different games! It's a very clever piece of technology!!

Mine is to be more organised too! :o

 

Stop - thinking about/worrying about/making lists of all the things I need to do and just DO THEM!!!

 

Go into my spare room/office/dumping ground everyday and throw away/recycle/shred something!!!

 

Seconded!!!!! xD

Thirded and if I did that everyday by the end of the year my study might be more useable again. Plus my husband would be very pleased if it meant it got tidied.

I have tried the loose weight one before so not even going down that road.

 

I am going to try and be a bit more organised about meal times, very often we all come in the door from school and i end up cooking the first thing that falls out of the freezer, which is lazy and expensive and not healthy, although i do make sure they always have a vegetable or 2.

Happy New Year.

Mine is to keep up the training on my wii - 30 mins a day - fantastic, never thought I would even go on it. AND I have just joined slimming world - not sure if I can do it, finding it hard already. comfort food is my worst habit, if I am feeling stressed I eat everything.

I think I will add this to my stopping smoking resolution xD

Since Christmas day I have become a wii fit addict! I have a lovely 'male trainer' :o and in spite of the festive food my BMI has gone down by 2 and I have lost 6lbs :(:( Apart from the 'proper'keep fit exercises I have had great fun on a huge variety of games that involve physical exercise/agility. I have been working my way through the balance games and at last understand how the balance board works. I am currently the family ski jump champion!!!! :(

oh and I thought he was my personal trainer- I thought he was having an affair - you wait till I see him later.

My favourite is the skiing and the step activities. I now step for 30 mins while I watch the soaps, it makes me forget I am even doing it.

I haven't really lost much, but well done you.

another losing weight one - my asthma nurse is pleased with me as I've lost 10kg in a year - had a very luxurious christmas so need to get back on track next week.

I like the "enjoy work" one, lessen the paper work, more spontaneous enjoyment of my lovely work children and following what they want to do, planning - free days and see what happens

read to my children again and not be too tired
