New Year Resolutions

[Mulholland Drive]

Try and conquer my alcoholism once and for all.

It's not as bad as it was some 12 months ago when I made a similar resolution, but it still clings on when I am at my most lowest of ebbs

 

[HowlOwl]

Trying to get a daily walk in whatever the weather, learning and practising photography, clearing out the house and decorating.

I want to lose another 4 stone, already lost 6 this year.
I want to get fitter and not just sit watching tv every night
Read at least 50 books
Look after myself properly (skincare and hair)

I have written them in my new diary today to remind me what I want to achieve

 

[whocarez]

write each goal or resolutions on a nice box of sweets or little bottle of champagne when reached there's a fabulous treat reward.
Worked for mine this year hopefully same again next year

My MAIN new year resolutions this year because my theme for 2025 is 'FUCK IT' going to live life it's my last (within reason obviosuly!)

-Lose 3-5 stone by excersizing, eatinging with a calorie deficiet.
-Read minium of 12 books by using my library card lol
-Visit 4 counties next year- planning ahead and not getting my anxiety the better of me!

I am writing some 'sub' new year resolutions but those are the three i want to achieve!

 

[Mamacita]

- stop wasting time on my phone so much mindlessly scrolling through social media and just generally being addicted to the phone

- try and work on not being so stressed out all the time

-prioritise sleep and fix my sleeping pattern

Lose rest of my baby weight. I've already lost a bit but not happy with my weight yet. I had bad body issues/ED when I was younger so hoping to get to a weight I like without going into danger territory

Just be a good Mum and enjoy parenthood - I love being a Mum but when he was born I had a very bad stage of PND. I thought about ending it all I was so bad at one point. I haven't had them thoughts again but thoughts have changed altogether - I'm worrying all the time about his milestones, whether he likes me, if I'm doing things right, if his routine is right - I want to just chill out and go with the flow more

Start saying what I think more - I hold back and let myself be a pushover. I'm gonna stop being a mug and stick up for myself more

 

[Boredofthegram]

Get back to running 10K regularly. I completed couch to 5K this year but need more of a challenge.

Reduce my alcohol intake (this year it’s crept up through lockdown boredom). Will start with dry January.

Less mindless phone scrolling and more reading.

Purely to get a new job and get my life back on track in terms of feeling passionate and like I'm going somewhere. I've felt in limbo and felt "stuck" for the past few years, so I think a new job I'm excited about will help!

That's the big overarching goal for 2021, my small goal is to learn how to overhand serve consistently in volleyball so I don't make a tit out of myself so much when practise starts again and to squat 60kg with proper form at the gym!

 

[hehehe]

Silence my internal dialogue and stop talking to myself.

 

[slugella]

I always fail at them so don't really bother but I saw an Instagram post recently that suggested choosing a word that you want to live by in the next year. Mine is 'balance'.

For me this applies to having a good work life balance, still enjoy the foods I love without feeling bad but try to be mindful about it and fit in more healthy ingredients too, make sure I'm doing enough of what I enjoy and don't feel obligated to do things that I don't want to do, and try not to sweat the small stuff.

Every other year I've gone into the new year with oh I'm so unhealthy and lazy why can't I commit to stop eating chocolate. It never works with that mindset for me so this is a way to approach it differently.

Something else I saw on Insta that also helps me is to have clear goals to check in with. So for example I want to learn French so I will say maybe by March I want to be able to watch and understand a film in French. Or by December I want to be able to have full conversations in French.

Or for fitness it could be I want to be able to run xkm by April without wanting to die. I feel like if I leave my goals too vague I just never get anywhere. And if I don't meet them or feel off track I allow myself to adjust without feeling like a failure.

I absolutely need to lose weight, I’m very very unhealthy so mine are:

Weight watchers from tomorrow (I can’t even bear to wait until nyd)
Less fizzy and drink more water
Try and get out for a walk every day

 

[_chx_]

I want to set realistic goals because otherwise I won’t stick to them
~ Go swimming a couple of times a week
~ Don’t eat as much crap
~ Put money away, little and often

 

[Wanttoseethescreenshots]

This would be a good thread for people to give updates on their resolutions / get some support maybe! I’d be interested in hearing how everyone gets on! I’m starting from today, I’m over 18 stone and need to reign it in now, I get out breath going up the stairs so I just feel like I need to start and get it out the way!!

The part about cleaning hits close to home. I always promise myself I'll spend lots of time on a hobby on a day off but always end up cleaning first then run out of time and energy for anything else!

Mine are:
Stop scrolling social media and stop arguing with people online
Continue with a hobby I picked up this year
Read more books than this year (not settling a target this time, just a bit more than this year)
Improve on procrastinating with easy tasks (like making a phone call etc)
Run a 25 min 5k

I have a few more in mind but need to think about them a bit more

Omg yes I do that wit the cleaning. Arguing with people is one of my favourite things to do especially when I called Jason mansford a cunt on twitter and he replied

 

[Bubble10]

I won’t be making any this year, every year I buy a diary with every intention of documenting but get as far as 2nd week in January, then remember again a few months later! Although I would like to make it my mission in life to myself to read more, I have a pile of books that I keep looking at, but lately life has got in the way.

Maybe I should make a resolution to myself that I should take more time out for myself, I’m often frazzled trying to do everything for everyone else, then get frustrated because when I do try and take time out I’m often offending the people I do everything for. I just feel selfish if I say no to anyone wanting me to help them with something wether it’s important or not, I always want to do the right thing.

It's nearly time to kick this crappy year out the door and look forward to the New Year. Whilst I'm hopeless at sticking to New Year resolutions, I do try to think of something. This time I am going to try to exercise more. Usually the idea fills me with dread, but the waistline needs help!!!

What will you be doing?

 

[Vroomvroom]

Eat and drink less.
Actually do the various house jobs I’ve had a list of all of this year. It’s not even big stuff!

 

[kittypaws]

- back on the calorie counting
- pass my driving test
- buy a house with my partner

These were my goals this year but covid fucked them up

 

[YellowLadybird]

- Get an internship in management consulting
- Actually do exercise again and stop being a fat fuck
- Pick up hobbies a bit more, like reading and sewing, rather than phone scrolling
- Pass all of my uni assignments first time around
- Find something positive in every day
