Out with the old and in with the new....year

A new year is ominously looming in front of me and it is time to decide where I see myself this time next year.

What do I want to accomplish over the next 12 months?

I have two new year's resolutions so far. Number one is to lose a stone.

It is my best friend's wedding at the end of May, so the more I can lose at the start of the year the better. I intend to eat healthily, use my Wii fit as much as possible and, here's the bit that will probably fall at the first hurdle, go for a nice long jog every Saturday morning. I don't think that I'll end up doing that on week one, which is a tragic thing for me to admit.

Second resolution is quite lovely really. It is to do something that makes me happy every day. What this may be and how it will be done, I do not know, but it is my intention to do it all the same.

2011 was a good year for me, in fact I do not think there was one thing I have done that I was not proud of (I did get rather drunk quite a few times, but I do not regret getting drunk).

I moved in with my boyfriend, got a full time job, got a better full time job and bought myself some beautiful shoes throughout the year, despite the boyfriend's disapproval on the height of some of my heels.

It's the same thing every year at this time, people look back and try to remember the good things. In fact, the boyfriend just turned to me and asked me my favourite film of the year (we have special cinema cards so we go a lot), his was Transformers 3, I cannot agree with him as I fell asleep half way through. It is unlike me to fall asleep in the cinema as it is so darn cold, but something about those 3D glasses makes my eyes droop. My favourite film, in case you were wondering, was not Pirates of the Caribbean as I predicted it to be, it was The Fighter.

2011 will be a tough year to beat, but I am going to shoot for Pluto. It will all start Saturday night at my friend's party. As soon as midnight hits, there will be no fatty foods passing my lips, and nothing but vodka and soda water to drink (apparently this is almost calorie free).


I wish you all the best of luck with your resolutions, and my fingers are crossed that I go for that first jog on the 7th January.
