New Year Commitments

[pixie-gem]

Great idea for a thread...

- I want to finally get to my target weight of 10 Stone. I did so well and got SO CLOSE in 2012 but have messed about this year on and off and put nearly 1.5 stone back on. I know I can do it, I just need to find my willpower and not let one bad day put me off. I get married in May so want to be very nearly there by then.

- I want to exercise more. Not going to say a specific goal because I say it all the time and I know what I'm like. I don't even necessarily mean full on workouts but just moving more eg. going for walks instead of sitting at the computer/in front of the tv

- I want to contribute to Mini-mins more. I'd love to be more involved but I find it hard commenting on posts, especially when people already seem to know one another so well!

- Say yes to going out with friends from work more. I've become a bit of a loner. I never feel like going out but whenever I do I end up having a good time!

- I want to read more. I used to love reading when I was younger and then kind of got out of the habit. Having my Kindle makes it easier now and I've already kind of started this one. Read nearly 6 books in the last couple of months, which is more than I've read in years!

I'm sure there's more I want to do but these are the things that immediately came to me!

I could've written that x

I always read comments but often find I'd like to comment but really don't know what to say, so I just 'like' that comment instead.

I've remembered another January Commitment, to do my best to learn Spanish (again), I've tried loads & loads of times, but if I just do an hour or so a week that should work, thing is I need somebody to talk to in Spanish.

Im going on honeymoon in may to the Dominican Republic. I'd like to learn a little basic spanish myself before then as hola and gracias is about as much as I know.

Yet again I've bought another 'Learn Spanish' CD It was £4.99 from Aldi & so far looks quite good, I was tempted because it has a workbook with it, if you start to learn more & want to practice I'd love to practice with you.

Great thread!
I will commit to exercising more. I joined the gym in October and I do go but I do the bare minimum I can and don't need much of a reason to talk myself out of it. That will change.

Drink less- I don't drink lots on a regular basis but after drinking to excess last night and barely remembering midnight I don't want to get in that state again!

I also don't want to focus on the numbers on the scales, but hope the two above will take care of that for me

I like this thread... mine are:

1: stick to the flipping plan once and for all lol
2: increase my self confidence... OH says I'm a defeatist!
3: learn to like myself
4: go out with friends more
5: have a date night with the OH at least every other month... think we are both stuck in the rut of just being parents
6: to make sure I am not fat at 30... got 13 months to go!

Totally agree that numbers are not the only way forward hon x
