In which I am Resolved

[hellison]

Today, I have been mostly pondering Resolutions. Has anyone made any this year (most of my flist seems more taken up with New Who atm )? Do you regularly make them? Does anyone *keep* them?

My only Plan/ Resolution for this year is Be More Active. I no longer have the ankle excuse for sloth, but it's got to be habit, a habit I now hope to break.

This is helped by D. phoning yesterday to say he's not sending Ziggy back to the girl who was looking after her, so I'll be back to riding/mucking out etc 2 nights a week to start with. In two minds whether to keep up the lessons once a week as well. Probably should for now.

Also cleared livingroom and even washed the floor sat. so the Wii-fit is out again (having been ignored for the last few months), to add to the weekly Pilates stretching/toning.

Finally getting the train to work 3 times a week at least, which involves a 20 min walk there and back. And saving a lot of money on car parking & petrol.

All small, fairly simple steps to battle sloth and regain some sort of fitness/muscle tone. Also eating less crap. Which will all hopefully combine to get me back to a point I was at a few years ago, when I was actually quite happy with my size/shape/fitness, because right now, I am not happy about any of that.

Of course this won't be the first time I have Resolved to do something about it and not got very far, but, you never know. It could work! Can't hurt to try.

So in short, Be More Active. What's yours?

Dancing is 20 minutes a day. Fruit is one extra apple, and swapping my lunch for veg soup, clothes would be an afternoon at most if I could be bothered to move at all today. The writing is the only really big thing and so far I have managed it each day. Ok. That's five days, but i'm trying to build it as a habit so it becomes easier to do. Oddly it's helping with the panic a lot, so worth continuing.

woo, that's good on the writing! i'm trying to make the Being Active into a habit (it used to be!) so I can replace the v. bad habit of collapsing on teh sofa when i get in and not moving again til bedtime.
