Oh I might do my " No KFC" resolution again, but this time include McD's & Burgerking. Don't have it that often though so that's an easy one.

Cut out junk food.

To be competition ready by the time Elias is 1 year old .. that gives me six months to lose another 20 kgs.
To put aside 30 minutes before bed to talk to DH (really talk - not the hurried chit chat we do while trying to do the feed, bath, bed routine) To enjoy each day and realise how blessed I am. ------------- Mummy to Issy (3) and Elias (18 months) I did it .. 41 kgs gone!

Well its the new year and I'm still not in bed. I should head that way soon. I just thought I would add mine to the list.
Last year I made once resolution and that was to stop drinking energy drinks. I haven't had once since. I suppose immediately getting pregnant with the girls helped that one though! ------------- Captain Chaos (5) & the Trouble Monsters (2!)

Oh I didn't know this was here! I figure if it's still January its not too late to do a new years resolution!
Stop cracking my knuckles. Get my hair cut regularly (I haven't had it cut in over a year, am now in a panic to get it cut before wedding in 18 days as the ends are horrible!) so every 6months would be nice
Stick to a budget for DF and I I got some more ideas off this thread

Onceevery 6 months? SHeesh, I am cut and coloured after 6-8weeks and that is a long enough wait for me.
Mine is to give up chocolate. None at all, not even milos and they are too much like chocolate. I have happily made it to day 5 with no problem or cravings. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I will exercise more often - running to get my parcel from the courier doesn't count.
I will cook one brave new meal a fortnight. I must take more time off for personal maintenance (my regrowth is shocking and my nails are chipped as I type...) I will visit somebody I haven't seen in far too long at least once a month. |

I don't normally do resloutions but have some this year:
- Drink the good Champagne instead of saving it til it goes off! (Better to "waste" a $100 bottle of bubbles on a non-occaison, than to save it for 3 or 4 years then tip it down the drain cos its gone off!!!!) - Don't buy lollies (currently eat them daily!!!) - Have one TV / computer free night a week - When I finish breastfeeding - start exercising again And I would love to put "get more organised at home" but I have some doubts it will happen, so will leave it off ...... ------------- DS (5yrs) and DD (3yrs) |

I have lost some weight and done some standing up for myself but the chocolate just won't leave me alone at the mo I don't care though as long as I don't gain weight. I have cut way back on the fast food's when Dh is away at work but when he is home we do tend to splash out and buy takeaways
