New Year's Resolutions 2012

Think it is fair to say that I have made a very poor effort so far this year. My New Year’s resolutions are always very similar and I usually last about a month before I let them slide. This year, however, was completely different- I didn’t even start them. I thought about them and that’s about as far as I got. Don’t get me wrong I had good intentions. I bought a cross-trainer but so far that has been used as a clothes horse. I thought about healthy eating and drinking less but there was so much chocolate and booze left over from Christmas which I simply could not let go to waste.

Yum!

 The one resolution I made that I have actually kept up with is making more of an effort to send cards to my friends and family for Christmas, birthdays and anniversaries etc. At the age of 23 I feel it’s about time. But I’ve even failed slightly on this point, my poor cousin, Katie, whose birthday was 1^st January missed out… (I didn’t buy all my cards for January until the 3^rd). So Happy Belated Birthday Katie!

The reason I’m writing about all these failures is because I intend to start my New Year’s resolution year from today and if I express this publically, I may have more of a chance of succeeding. So, I intend to...

- Use my cross-trainer for exercise, not an extension of my wardrobe

- No more weekly Pizza Hut’s or daily multi-packs of chocolate

- Continue sending cards

- Spend more time with friends and family

- Write more

Good luck in your resolutions, if you made any. Hope you haven’t been as useless as me and have a great 2012!
