It’s going to be 2012 in 5 sleeps. On the 1st of January I’m going to wake up to see another new year, I’m 41, I’ve seen a few. Most New Year celebrations in my life have passed uneventfully, in my 20′s there were some spectacular celebrations, now they pass mostly unremarked, it’s not so easy with a young family and getting drunk is not such a great experience any more.
But most new years see me making resolutions, last year I dug my heels in and said no way, I had enough to contend with in my marriage and home life without making life harder for myself. This year is different though, the sky is not so cloudy, in fact one could say the sun is out.There are things I still wish to change, me things, taking control and harnessing my strength *giggles*.
It’s time to be a resolutionary.
I use the term with amusement and in the sarcastic nature it is intended, I know me, by February I can almost guarantee this blog and it’s ideals will have fallen by the wayside, I have good intentions but little to no determination. I’m not driven or competitive enough to make much happen for myself.
Still…
2012 New Years Resolutions…
Lose 2st (again, having put back on all the weight I lost in 2010)
Listen to the ‘Thinking Slimmer’ podcast I bought earlier this year.
Get Fit: Use my Mountain Bike once a week, try to start running again, it’s been 15 years
Eat better.
Write and compile an E-book, short stories if necessary.
Don’t get stressed over my son’s school admission.
Do things for me.
Remember to take my tablets.
Remember peoples BIRTHDAYS!!!
Be better at the house stuff, this includes Ironing, especially ironing…
I’m sure there will be other goals to consider as I move into 2012, life is like that! I’ve already put plans in motion, my bike is all ready in the garage and I’ve ordered some trainers and a sports bra which should arrive by Monday. I have my eye on some decent off road tracks in a forested area near here which should be a great (flat) place to start (weather allowing) and as soon as the smalls start back to school on the 4th I shall go and investigate.
There are a few too many nibbly bits hanging around in the cupboard post season but they won’t last long and don’t worry, I shan’t stuff them all myself in order to get ‘rid’ of them!
and that podcast… Daily listening at least!
I’m not looking for a New Year, New Me. There’s not much wrong with the old me except she’s got fat and lazy…
There is only one person who can do anything about this isn’t there.
