In 2011 I will try to….
I don’t really do New Year’s Resolutions because I always fail, so instead I would like to try and do all, or some of the following things…
1. Lose weight. Specifically I would like to lose 2 stone by my cousin’s wedding at the beginning of June. That would be just over 1 lb a week which I think is do-able. Think I am going to try Slimming World to see if that helps.
2. Increase my exercise. I would like to go back to the gym. The Mister and I already have a leisure centre pass, but I use it mainly, and even then I only do a yoga class, swimming and an aquafit class. We have agreed to book a gym induction and try and go at least twice a week. This should fit in with out live a bit better then planning to do lots of classes as we can go when we have a spare hour or two.
3. Drink 2 litres of water per day. I used to do this much more and my skin improved and I was less hungry.
4. Keep alcohol for weekends only. Nuff said… I like wine, it helps me relax after a busy day at work. Too much is bad for me… therefore I have to reduce it.
5. See some shows. Mainly I would like to make use that we have access to some fantastic theatres etc. I would like to see a ballet and go to an opera. Be a bit more kulchural… you know?
6. Sleep more. I need to be in bed by 10.30pm at the latest. Getting up at 5.30am is a nightmare otherwise and I become a grumpy nightmare.
7. Not obsess so much about getting pregnant. For anyone who knows me this is going to be the hardest and I will probably fail by tomorrow. However, I promise to try!

These look very sensible (though some easier than others, obviously!), and similar to what I am hoping to do. I think I may need to add “spend less time on the internet” to my list!
I would recommend slimming world having lost 2st in about 6 months. I then didn’t lose anything in 6 months but did maintain my weight-loss which I think is good. I’m going to have another go this year.
If 2 litres a day has worked for you – ok. A few years ago, though, my son had to see a consultant urologist who said that was actually too much and what people are doing is overworking their kidneys and flushing useful minerals out of their systems. So a “wee” word of caution!
All the best with those, I can also identify with the need to do a number of them.
Sounds like a good list. Hope it goes well.
Well if you want to do a show, ballet or opera with me when you’re down in the Big Smoke let me know. I’m contemplating Cinderella at Sadlers Wells (almost sold out) and Billy Elliot (£27 deal). Not sure if there’ll still be opera on by then.
Looks like a good list 🙂 No. 4 would mean more alcohol for me as I went alc-free last year (with a couple of exceptions).
