Something simple for me...just try cooking a new dish every couple of weeks at least. I like cooking but always find myself doing similar stuff so wanna broaden my horizons!
Id say lose weight but thats more continuing than starting haha!
Booze free January, blocked my gambling accounts for a month, and no chocolate either. Coupled with at least a 20 minute walk a day to get moving a bit as home based desk job mainly. I give it a week before it falls apart but i ate way too much in December and my clothes are all magically shrinking it seems!
Walked on average 7 miles a day last year, despite that I’ve put on a stone over the year. I need to watch was I eat & drink, so I’ve started using my fitness pal to log my intake, so not to over eat & dinner. Hopefully with my walking, I should lose the timber.
2023: a year of less cycling and no running thanks to the replacement and subsequent bedding in of two new hips has seen me put on 7kgs, so 2024 has got to see me get back on the bike regularly in an attempt to lose the weight... Going to try dry January too, to kickstart things, but it's day 2 and I am already dreaming of the Ale House after another CAFC last minute defeat in the coming weeks... We'll see.
Other than that, I am already fabulous, so why change? :-)
Working through the house and garages to clear out all the crap we have accumulated over the years house is at bursting point so its got to be done. Happy New Year All.
- No bread, potatoes, red meat, added sugar or any (if possible) processed food. One of my retirement jobs is cooking, which I love doing, and it will be fresh and from scratch
- Gym three times a week, including cardio, free weights and swimming
- Walking - trying to average 10,000 steps per day but needs to stop fecking raining!
- On my last pack of cigs - 7 left! Might need some vapes for the first few weeks.
All together a very serious attempt to gain good general fitness - I want my retirement to be active.
I'm going to have a go at couch to 5k. Might try some park runs after that. Nothing to do with new year though. Not sure if I'll manage it, as Im still carrying an old bird watching injury.
Just been diagnosed with high blood pressure, high cholesterol and underperforming kidneys (despite leading a relatively healthy and active life...), so my resolutions are:-
- Remember to take my new best friends (medication). - Lose a bit of weight. - Eat more fruit and veg and less pizza - exercise daily.
All of the above designed to reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke within the next 10 years.
It comes to many of us, but now is the time of my life when a new years resolution needs to stay permanent..
ps I had no symptoms for any of the issues but it was picked up in a routine health check. Had that not happened, I would have been walking merrily towards a lifechanging event - if you can, get yourself checked over.

Sprained wrist?
Mine is never underestimate Dave Mehmet's ability to be in the right place at the right time.....
Been meaning to make sure I take a lunch hour whilst working from home rather than ploughing on with work, and get out for a walk for an hour, fresh air etc.
Today is not that day though given I'm likely to be hit by flying For Sale boards!

Bar the cigs (good luck), this sounds @bobmunro like the worst retirement ever!
No drinking Mon-Thurs (hard) Min 10k steps every day (easy) Work out why my left leg aches so much after running 5k so I can get back to doing that a few times a week rather than once a week at present

Likewise, we’ve got so much toot everywhere. I made a start before Xmas using freecycle etc. I’m amazed what people actually want.

Surprised at that mate as always see your walks on twitter and as I understand it, it’s one of the best ways to lose weight. That being said diet is important as you get older (and I don’t mean that in derogatory way).
I’m not gonna do any alcohol for the foreseeable. I’ve done 3 months off the booze before in recent years, so I think it’s doable. Gonna try and be a regular on the peloton as well. I’ve had it for almost 3 years, but finding the time since my boy was born is tough. I like hit and hill exercises, but sometimes it can be up to 2 weeks in between getting on. It means I’m knackered as I’m not building up a stamina. I’ve managed to stay at a level for a while now, but I would like to kick on and beat my PB

If you REALLY want to change something about yourself, better yourself, or learn something new, just do it, don't wait around til the calender changes
As I've never smoked I reckon it's doable
But ... seeing as it IS the New Year now, what better reason to actually do something different.
- Remember to take my new best friends (medication).
- Lose a bit of weight.
- Eat more fruit and veg and less pizza
- exercise daily.

If you could pick some up on the way over, it would be appreciated
