A New Year is about to start, do any of you have any realistic resolutions. I am going to try and be more positive, it may help it may not but I won't know until I try will I? :)
-
Eat healthier.
Start exercising. (Never done it before)
Sort out the loft. :bang: (being going to do this for 3 years)
Do dry January.

Instead of beating yourself up for not being positive, just celebrate being the wonderful you exactly as you are! Trying to be positive is doomed to failure, because it implies you are lacking and not good enough. Try being loving, kind and non judgemental, first to yourself, then to others. You have everything you need within. Those negative, sad thoughts come and they go. They are just thoughts. Don't chase them.
Happy New Year! All you have to do is be the beautiful you! Relax!

Whatever you all choose resolutions or not, hope 2016 is kind to you all and brings love and good health xxx

Hello ladies.

Cheers everyone.

Hope everyone has a peaceful & healthy 2016.

Im determined to lose the weight ive slowly put on since i gave up smoking. 2.5 stone is the amount im going to lose however im not going to go mad and starve myself just follow sw as I know it suits me. I started it a few months ago lost 7 lbs and didnt feel deprived. Christmas was my excuse to pig out and put it allback on again. I know if I get to my goal weight first I can have a day of eating what I want as long as I go back to sw day after. Just need to get to my target weight and I know I will be fine. Like anything you chose to do it all about getting into the habit of doing it first then it will be easier to stick too. My diet is not a diet its just changing my eating habits, diets are like chores so hard to stick to so you need to think of it differently.
I always think a newyear makes you reflect on what has been and what you want to do differently which is why maybe people come up with NY resolutions.
Whatever you ladies hope for or want to do this coming year I truely wish you all well and good health.

Happy New Year, everybody!
Well, my daughter's expecting me to de-stress and get fit by means of the yoga book she gave me for Christmas, so I suppose that's my NY resolution.................. ::)
-
New Year 2016 for us started at at 10pm (GMT) last night.
The logic being that it WAS 2016 in Athens.
That being the case, we had a glass of champagne each, toasted the new year and trundled off to bed at 11.15. Worked for me ::)
Don't remember any resolutions being made.......................
-
;D - did anyone watch the GOOGLE banner all day …….. waiting to see what hatched :o
-
yes I did, it keeps changing, there have been turtles, duck and cant remeber the other one, dinosaur I think or giraffe.

I didn't imagine it then ;D …….. each time I looked I thought it was different, however, DH didn't believe me ::)

Last year, I managed to achieve my one resolution. Not to set foot in an ambulance! I had 4 rides in 2014! This year I will avoid having an operation just before Christmas. Last year was the second year in a row. Other than that, I'm going to enjoy being me!
-
Ju Ju.... similar path to yours, I had shingles, persistant chest infection, broken leg, motorway crash and a hit and run in the space of 6 months around end of 2014 beginnng of 2015. I too hope to have a better year.

Be thankful and speak positively. 😀

Well, in 2015 life really kicked me up the arse, so this year I have decided to kick back.
I began yesterday by putting a note on the window screen of a car, that park on the grass verge, outside our house.
It did feel good.
-
HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone!!
I gave up resolutions some years ago - but instead I just decide anyway if I want to do something or should/should not do something - at any time of the year! Having resolutions set me up for disappointment if I didn't achieve them and especially if I then made the same ones the following year so I gave them up and feel much better for it.
I also wish you all good health and happiness ..... :)

Eleanor2 what did your note say??
Clio
-
I said
'Please do not park on the grass, it is NOT necessary'
It felt like I had regained a bit of control 8).
-
Being more assertive is wonderfully positive!
I agree with hurdity. Making new year resolutions does set you up for failure. It's so easy to not follow through, then feel disappointed in yourself. Better to follow through when motivated and fail your way to success. If you decide to lose weight, do it for yourself, forgive yourself for lapses, shrug your shoulders and carry on. You're human!

Eleanor2, I hate it when people park outside your house, theres a guy next door who sometimes parks half outside his house and half outside my house or all outside my house, he dosnt park outside his own as he cant open his door cos of the tree however if he parked the otherway which I do he could. I do my usual bit of ranting as I park on the otherside of the road and walk across to my house hoping he hears me >:(

I know how you feel clio.
For so long I have tried not to rock the boat and let things go. This car was visiting my next door neighbours, who had a New Years Eve party. They are very annoying neighbours who shriek and swear at the children (the mother anyway). The kids were screaming on the trampoline at 1am on new years day. Up till now I've avoided confrontation, but they really go too far.
I hope they are prepared for the new me ::)

Hi, I'm new to this forum but Happy New year to everyone. Your advice and general chit chat is invaluable. Although I wouldn't wish the menopause on anyone it's nice to know others understand what you are going through. Thank you.
My hopes for the New year is laughter, laughter and more laughter which has been sadly lacking these last few years.
