New Year resolutions

Oh definitely teetime
My DS bought me a natty little planner for Christmas with an ideas board so I have no excuse!
I am still in bed with a very nasty flu-type virus which DS also brought me for Christmas
It gives me time to think about how I need to change what I am doing with my life. I am looking after genuinely needy people BUT there are changes planned to ease some of the strain. Hopefully this should give me more time to do the things I enjoy and are necessary to live a healthier but less frenetic life
So - more regular exercise, healthier eating plan, stop saying yes to everything/everyone - take more time to just be a human being rather than a human doing .... How's that for starters ...?

I'm up for continuing my diet, carrying on with my fitness classes and staying positive. This was my second Christmas after being diagnosed with cancer, so it's VERY important for me to stick to my resolutions.

Happy New Year everyone x

My plans are to eat more healthily, exercise more and finally totally cut out the diet coke.

Apart from the diet coke, which i don't drink anyway, i'm with Lapwing!

Oh, and to adopt a more relaxed approach to my fishing trips!

Lapwing I stopped the diet coke which I have drunk for years a few weeks before Christmas with no noticeable effects good or bad so I shall have one if out in a pub when I'm looking for a low calorie beverage. Cutting down on alcohol intake has to be a first priority for me in 2016its the sugar and weight gain rather than the alcohol I worry about .

To stop worrying about absolutely everything and to try to enjoy my life more.

To grow old disgracefully and stay alive until next Christmas

I have also decided that, in 2016, i will not allow anyone to put a salad in front of me! Apart from watercress, i hate the b****y stuff!

jogginggirl I like the human being bit of your post, very clever, I shall remember that one.

I'm going to get drunk from 1st Jan to 31st Dec and if anyone doesn't like my slurry posts, then it's just hard luck.

Try to be firmer,and not worry and take things to heart.

As most years, drink more water and learn my mobile phone number.

I am going to spend less time on the Internet and more time reading.

rubysong, I'm copying yours. I've been meaning to do both of these for years!

I'm adding an internet curfew - 8pm for starters moving on in stages as and when I find I can't cope

rubysong - I have been trying the second one too. For months. I've got as far as the first 5 digits, but the next 6 just won't stick. As for other resolutions I don't make them any more. That was a resolution I made a few years ago, and I've stuck to it.

Not mine - saw this on FB and it reminded me of this thread

T'was the week after Christmas and all through the house,

Nothing would fit me, not even a blouse.

The goodies I'd nibble, the prosecco I'd taste,

All the gatherings and parties had gone to my waist.

When I got on my scales, there arose such a number!

When I walked to the shops (less a walk more a lumber).

I'd remember the marvellous meals I'd prepared;

The gravies and sauces and beef nicely rared...

The wine and the puddings, the crackers and the cheese

and the way I'd never said, "No thank you, just please."

As I dressed myself in my old baggy shirt

and prepared once again to try and do up my skirt,

I said to myself (as no one else dare!)

"Go back to Weight Watchers you know there they care"

So away went the last of the sour cream dip,

I got rid of the fruit cake, every cracker & chip.

Every last bit of food that is bad it was banished

'Till all those additional pounds have vanished.

I'm back on plan and counting my points

Drinking more water, no more turkey & ham joints,

Staying to class (you really should try it)

Happy New Years to All & to All a Good Diet. ??????✨???

Haha, sounds like Pam Ayres?

???????? let them eat cake.

Not making any but have a decorated jar on my kitchen windowsill that I intend to put little notes in when something happens that makes me happy then if I'm ever feeling down I can empty the jar and reflect on things

Lose weight , get fit , be more sociable , say 'yes' not 'sorry, I can't' .

I like harrysgrans idea of a "happiness" jar! I'm going to try that.

Get out and about to the theatre and concerts even though OH will not come. Sounds a bit selfish really as a resolution, but I think I have to do this to stay sane!

tiredoldwoman. Perhaps I can teach you how to say 'yes' and you teach me to say 'sorry, I can't'
