New Year's Resolutions

Every year I set resolutions knowing very well that I'm never going to keep them but every year I keep a faint glimmer of hope just incase a miracle happens and I get the will power to actually keeps some of them. I don't think I've kept many of them so far this year but here goes: 1. To lose 2 stone so that I look gorgeous for my 17th birthday party in May, its about 2 months away now, its not going to happen. 2. To go salsa dancing- nice but to be honest, where am I going to find the time? where am I going to find the money? would I have the confidence to go into a room full o people and attempt to learn to dance without falling flat on my face? ...  Read the complete review

As we get past Christmas, and end up in that weird void like transition until we get to New Year's Eve, I often have a think about resolutions. In the past, I've often wondered, what exactly is the point? Do we ever make a resolution that we are still consciously trying to stick to right up into November time? Or are they more of a whim like thought, only to last two or three weeks? In all honesty, I think the latter. My approach to resolutions, is to regard them more as taking a different direction, or trying something different, and seeing what happens. I know many people who resolute that they will lose weight, and a month in, you end up enjoying takeaways, ...  Read the complete review

Every year I tell myself that I won't bother making yet another useless resolution that I have no intention keeping. Every year without fail I promise myself to tone up, or lose those last few pounds, or indeed do "something new" and suprisingly I never achieve this. But if I had to make a new year's resolution I guess it would be something involving taking more photographs, or spending less time worrying about the things that I can't change/fix. Least that way they are vaguely useful. Resolving to take more photographs would be good so that I have a physical picture of places I have been, people I love and those random things you see that ...  Read the complete review

Every 1st of January i make a New Years Resolution, usually only half heartedly and because, well it's a tradition for me. Every year i forget what my resolution was about two weeks after i have made it, but this year, i have been good and i wrote my resolutions down and stuck them on my board. I usually go for the 'popular' ones, such as losing weight, giving up something, but this year i though i would be a little different this year, i say a little as i have a few 'conventional' resolutions. My resolutions are as follows: * Lose weight and keep it off - after suffering from an eating disorder when i was younger i put on the weight in a ...  Read the complete review

New Year's resolutions for me are the hardest things to make up, the idea of having something you want to do for the rest of the year before the previous year has even ended, they just don't cross my mind. January 1st should be the first day to start them but I find myself not thinking about them until at least February 1st as by then I've really thought about the year ahead and things I want to do. For some, resolutions are giving up things like alcohol or cigarettes, for others they choose to make a lifestyle change perhaps by signing up with a gym. For me, I like to try and accomplish things and this year my resolutions are to learn how to cook and learn ...  Read the complete review
