So I’m going to make a start on my resolutions for this year, though they’ll be work in progress over the next few days:

One offs

• Make a will (again)
• Go to Spain to visit family
• Refresh bathroom (paint and reseal bath)
• Get outside of the house painted
• Check all Direct Debits and cancel any I don't need
• Change internet provider
• Keep a note of spending for one month

Health
(As a smug note I’ve lost a stone the last year, much needed)

• Go to all of my exercise classes
• Eat healthfully and use supports regularly (e.g. My Fitness Pal)
• Focus on not drinking alcohol, it makes me feel worse
• Be more active at weekends
• Walk 2019 miles
• Think about meditation again
• Improve vegetable consumption

My end goal is to have lost at least another stone over the year, ideally more, and be close to my goal weight of 147lbs

Family

• Be more accepting of who and how people are
• See close family regularly
• See friends regularly and try to come up with reasons for regular dates

Work

• Do my day and go home - it’s only work
• Connect more with wider team and be more of a team player
• Build networks (go to events, meet people)
• Be OK with saying no (politely)
• Be positive

Finances

• Keep up to date with financial admin - check in once a month
• Save £600 to long term savings
• Continue to build short term savings fund (£1200)
• Keep OH up to date with our financial position

Beyond all of that, my other goal is to be kind to myself, to accept that sometimes things are tough.

Longer term I’d like to do some decluttering as well but as per the above I’m not putting that pressure on myself just yet. Of everything above, the health/weight loss is by far the priority!
