So we are now in February.
What did you pledge to achieve and have you managed to sustain?
For me it was to lose some weight and get fit again the incentive being the lifers match at The Valley in May and the impact of age and gravity! Have since lost over a stone and can run for 8 miles.
Oh and to win the Instant Addicks Jackpot

which i have done. i have proper nails now, for the first time ever in my life, and they're currently painted green.
my other one was to stop midweek drinking which i've done well at, not perfect though.
Which I am achieving - but very slowly. I lost 6kgs in the first week but then got a bit complacent. Giving it another charge this week so hopefully can lose some more. Looking to lose 3 stone for summer.
Done really well too, and didnt have any all last week! which is a first for quite some time i can tell ya! Next step one a day then weekends only, then none a day! yey
"I pledged to give up smoking and lasted until 14.31 on the 1/1/07 - this is a record for me so I am very happy"
Just cut your tongue out that'll do it.......
lol
Listen to the old boy getting all brave :-)
Wanted to lose weight as well, but judging by how tight my trousers are, i haven't achieved that either.
I did go to the gym on sunday though. In the time since i last went, i have contributed over £1200 to their funds, aren't i nice like that.....
still i have joined the gym opposite my office now so no excuse.
My legs hurt though
dont ya get sweaty for work tho! Where i worked before this geezer used to cycle in and he stank! proper mung he did! Hoow do you get on dood??
Got showers here fella, otherwise, I'll still here in my cycling gear stinking the place up.
However after ten years I can still look at someone smoking in a pub and think that it looks lovely. So I am afraid that you never really give up and have to have the will power for the rest of your life.
I've subsequently made one for February and that is to lose weight, by firstly cutting out all the crap I eat and secondly to start swimming regularly again. No specific targets other than to go down a size or four in the trouser waist department.
Yes the Lifers match at the Valley is the perfect incentive, but mostly because the joints are becoming increasingly knackered, so it makes sense to lighten the load before complete failure takes place.
Those who know me will give it about a fortnight! :-)
Happy failure
Congrats on the failure.
I myself have failed that on many occasions.
Piece of piss that mate. I myself am hoping to top about 30 to 40 miles a day come the summer.
Admittedly my bike has Yamaha and Dragstar written on the side of it and leg movement is minimal, but think of the fresh air!
Mind you if I don't pass my test damn soon I ain't going nowhere. :-(
Just thought of another resolution!
For those wishing to lose a few pounds what I have done is as follows no surprises or rocket science
No dairy except semi skimmed in coffee/tea
No cheese
No bread
Cut down on alcohol only drink when out and not at home
Reduced portion size
No sugar and very little fat
Only eating enough until full and not belly busting!
More exercise
Main driver is weight watchers core foods list.... it works
No cheese - Check
No bread - Check
Cut down on alcohol only drink when out and not at home - Check and double check
Reduced portion size - Do I have to?
No sugar and very little fat - one sugar instead of two
Only eating enough until full and not belly busting! - check
Lose some weight - Check (ish)
Dont drink every night - Check
Stop spending money like its going out of fashion - Check
