Frump to Fab 2016 - Lets make it AWESOME!!!

Well I've not listed my aims and goals this year.

There's an awful lot of them..........

I have some very lofty ambitions this year. This is the year I "AIM HIGH"

I am going to borrow a mantra from a guy called "Tony Robbins" - one of those motivational and self help gurus. His talks about taking "Massive Action".

If you google him you will see he has several videos. He's American, and very Gung Ho but I do like his can do approach.

So here they are - the most important ones and in no particular order - my aims and goals for this year........

Buy a house
Lose two stones
Learn Spanish
Get out more

You will notice that the first three are clearly defined goals which can be measured whilst the "get out more" is a bit vague.

I need to work out a defined plan of action for that one but essentially it means regular days or evenings out, so maybe joining a couple of groups so that I am actually committed to something.

It also means holidays, weekends away etc. I have had received several invitations to visit friends away so I have no excuse.

Yesterday I dropped in on friends who I had not seen for months. I had a lovely time. I need to do this more often.

No more procrastinating.

There's a big wide world out there just waiting to be explored and enjoyed.

Hello Everyone

What a wonderful thread this is! Love reading everyones goals, there's nothing like a shiny New Year to get you kickstarted

. I've started a diary on this board to help me with my weight loss/exercise/not looking like a hobo goals, I find diaries help me stay on track. Theres lots of like minded folk in here though so hope I can pop in?

Happy New Year

Of course You are welcome - the more the merrier.

Fabulousity rules!! World Domination is our Goal!!

Imagine a world of strong FAB-U-LOUS women.....What we could achieve.....

I watched "Made in Dagenham" last night. So inspirational. As I watched I thought as to how much women today owe those machinists. They were "nothing special" - just ordinary everyday women who stood up so they could be counted......and boy, did they make it count. We owe them.

I thought if they can do that then I can make my dreams come true.........it's up to me.

I shall be reading your diary and spurring you on.

You Can Do It:D

Happy new year everyone.
I am feeling especially frumpy today due to all the over indulgence but it all stops today.

My goals are as follows:
Lose weight to fit in that dress (I am not using scales but a few items of clothes). The main part to this will be regular exercise running and yoga mainly which will help to manage my stress levels which have been off the scale this year. I hope to be able to run 5k by the end of Feb to join a club.

Do one thing for me every month -a bit of pampering or see a friend

Build up enough savings to start paying off my mortgage

That is it really. I do really find it hard to exercise as I don't allow time for myself but I know it is good for me so I will give it my best shot.hopefully I will get some inspiration from this forum and become fabulous!

Happy New Year, all!

My main priorities fab wise for 2016 are losing weight and improving my health. No 1 will help with no 2 and no 2 will help with no 1 (exercise wise)

Happy new year fabbers!

Thanks for running the thread again LL. My 2016 goals are:

1, Improve my health, take medication properly and follow advice
2, Exercise and get fit again
3, Lose at least half a stone
4, Take care of my hair with regular cut and colour
5, Wear all the nice clothes I have
6, Keep up the basics of moisturising and perfume

It's quite a list! The health, eating well and exercising are most important.

What inspiring goals you all have for the new year

I have decided to keep a back to basics approach for the new year so similar to you all.

Ooh new thread. Happy new ear everyone

My fabbing goals for the year

1 lose the few pounds I have gained over the season and continue my eating plan. I have issues with candida and need to follow a low sugar, low grain diet and cut the booze.
2 go back to yoga on a weekly basis
3 make more effort to straighten hair after washing, rather than just tie back
4. Buy fewer clothes. Keep up with project 333 and use charity shops and ethical sources before just going and buying new (apart from spending vouchers received for birthday, Christmas)
5 be non judgmental of and nicer to people. Try to let go of some of the control freakery

Hi all I hope you have had a nice start to the new year, I've had all the family here so nice day but now I'm exhausted

My goals for this year are to make my health my priority by practising yoga daily, getting rid of my extra pounds and stopping smoking once and for all.
I'm also going to become stricter with my me time and start saying no when people ask if I can just do this or just do that, I am starting to feel quite burnt out and am no use to anyone if I don't look after myself! I think it's something women in particular do a lot, take on so much that all we have time for is to fall into bed at the end of the day dreading the huge list of things that need done the next day so no more. I'm going to make sure I have some time each day to just be me not mum, wife or granny and I'm sure the world will still keep spinning :rotfl:
