Your New Year Resolutions
 

So what do you plan to change in your lives, guys and girls. Other than being alot more careful with my money, I don't envisage any major changes in the Mentalist household.;)

Re: Your New Year Resolutions
 

stop smoking. again.

Re: Your New Year Resolutions
 

shed a few pounds apart from that nothing much, just get on with the year and enjoy it :)

Re: Your New Year Resolutions
 

You could be more careful? :blink: ;)

The usual things - lose a few kilos, be more active, more organised and focused. Take a couple of holidays. Take more photographs. I have set myself various work-related targets.

Also, to stop this idiot kitten from climbing up my legs as it hurts.


And to continue not smoking. I have up on 23rd December 2012 and over the past year I have had about 30 cigarettes in total. I reckon that's good going and am happy to stick with just having the odd one or two from time to time. Thanks to the kind mates who allow me to steal their fags.

Re: Your New Year Resolutions
 

To make a bit more time for myself and get my work life balance back to normal, stop working weekends and be out of work at 8 at the latest. Get back in the gym and start looking after myself better.

Re: Your New Year Resolutions
 

To stop buying shit I don't need

Re: Your New Year Resolutions
 

to spend more time with my parents
and even more time with the family
and to stop saying NO to everything as I feel I have started to do now (but I will never admit it in front of her!!)

For you :D

Re: Your New Year Resolutions
 

I am sure this thread was exactly the same last year..............

My resolution is to eat something before going out getting pissed and smoking tabs. Drinking is not the enemy, the hangovers are.

Happy New Year

Re: Your New Year Resolutions
 

Simple, be better than I was they day before.

Re: Your New Year Resolutions
 

Saved to my phone.

Re: Your New Year Resolutions
 

you will be knackered when I pack in!

Re: Your New Year Resolutions
 

Stop smoking again, get properly fit again and grab 2014 by the balls and wring the ****ing life out it

Re: Your New Year Resolutions
 

I think I may have to start using that.

Re: Your New Year Resolutions
 

Double my arabic vocabulary. That means I must learn one new word a month ;)

Re: Your New Year Resolutions
 

I'm overweight, so I'm going to lose four stone.

That's 25kg, in new money............

Re: Your New Year Resolutions
 

I gave up whilst in the UK..the combination of cost of a packet, the weather, not being able to buy them in pubs and nowhere to smoke made it surprisingly easy.

Not missed them at all, was out yesterday which was the big test and passed with flying colours.

Just need to get through a week at work now.

Re: Your New Year Resolutions
 

GOOD LUCK to everyone stopping smoking. This time next year you'll feel so much healthier :thumbsup:

And well done Meow for over one year :thumbup:

Along with getting fit/losing weight/being careful with money, I am really going to do those scrapbooks this summer. Every year I say it but i now have boxes of things waiting to be sorted out. This summer. Definitely.

Re: Your New Year Resolutions
 

I don't feel any different since (largely) quitting. No healthier at all.

Re: Your New Year Resolutions
 

Don't tell them that!!! :rofl:

Re: Your New Year Resolutions
 

Oh I forgot to mention one.

Get my golf handicap below 20. This is mainly going to be self-taught, apart from a couple of lessons the mrs got me for Xmas. First on Saturday.:fingerscrossed:

Re: Your New Year Resolutions
 

:) aren't you getting a treadmill though?

Re: Your New Year Resolutions
 

Re: Your New Year Resolutions
 

ha ha ha

Re: Your New Year Resolutions
 

I gave up smoking as last years resolution (OK it took me until April to kick it but I managed it eventually).

I gave up alcohol, coffee, soft cheeses, and started a much healthier diet since falling pregnant in September so that's pretty everything that's fun already given up (for now!).

That just leaves Candy Crush to give up .... on level 306 I think my CC retirement looms.

Good luck everyone with their 2014 resolutions!

Re: Your New Year Resolutions
 

Congratulations on the pregnancy! :)

Re: Your New Year Resolutions
 

I have gone cold turkey and deleted candy crush. Let's face it, it's shit.

I have replaced it with Plants vs. Zombies.

Re: Your New Year Resolutions
 

I would like to cut my high soda intake .

Re: Your New Year Resolutions
 

I am now day 4 of being dry. In 20+ years (Bar 12 days) I have not gone more than 3 days without Alcohol so I have decided to see if my theory is true, that I am not addicted to anything I merely do it as I enjoy it.

The google horror stories have not happened, No shakes, No shit nights sleep or cravings And I am doing it for Cancer Research. (PM if you would like to sponsor me :) )

Do I feel any better?? Nope not at all and it is still just as difficult to get up in the morning.

Re: Your New Year Resolutions
 

Is this a 'January-on-the-wagon' jobby or a permanent change?

Re: Your New Year Resolutions
 

Its the January 'Dryathlon'. If I do it without missing alcohol at all it could be a permanent change and I will become one of those twats that goes out only for the works Xmas party and falls asleep.

Re: Your New Year Resolutions
 

Good luck. I'll donate a tenner, plus the tenner which Scamp sponsored me for last year. Having started Dryathlon on 1st Jan last year, I returned to AD only to be made redundant the day I got back, so a few beers were had to get over the shock and so on. And I'm not tempting fate again this year, seeing as I'm flying back to sunny Morocco tomorrow...

My New Year's resolution: replace 2 high-salt Korean meals each day with home-made veg juice, and go to the gym at least 4 times a week.

Re: Your New Year Resolutions
 

Thank you Bahtat, I really appreciate it. I have PM'd the link to my justgiving page. Its worth £10 just to look at my begging drunken picture on there.

Re: Your New Year Resolutions
 

is there such a thing as a wetathlon? Now I would sponsor that! a month on the lash! two nights in a row kills me these days..

Re: Your New Year Resolutions
 

In support I'm not boozing until Feb now too. Brunch on Friday is going to be interesting, I might really enjoy the food?

Re: Your New Year Resolutions
 

Good man. I'm avoiding brunches though it would make a novel change to eat more than my usual slice of beef mash potato and floret or broccoli. May plan one for the last weekend as the ultimate challenge to my resolve.

Re: Your New Year Resolutions
 

Usually I stay sober for a couple of months a year, just to prove I can. After a couple of days, you're OK. After all, remember the saying- One's too many. two's not enough...

That little ditty is why I go on the wagon every now and again.

Re: Your New Year Resolutions
 

To be honest, I don't drink during the week, so it's just weekends. We've got this brunch but will drive and try to enjoy the tucker, then I'll schedule a round of golf early doors on Saturday with the mrs. Thursday night might be tough as we'll stay in, cook a nice meal and would normally have a beer and a some wine. Still, I think I'll be alright.

I'm keen to prove I can, that's the main thing.

Re: Your New Year Resolutions
 

I've not drank since NYE (inclusive) - and found it surprisingly easy. We did a brunch on Friday and never missed the booze, just enjoyed the food a lot more.

The big plus is that weekends are far more productive, it's a great feeling waking up on Friday/Saturday without a hangover, go to gym then use the rest of the day up without spewing/sleeping.

Re: Your New Year Resolutions
 

Yep, that's what I'm hoping for. Had a golf lesson yesterday and basically a new swing, so need to hit the range a lot now. Early morning session at the weekends will be nice I think. Even though I do play well when hungover...

Plus, there must be some health benefits too?
