new years resolutions 2012

2 January 2012

I always make new years resolutions and I love looking back to see whether I achieved them. Last year my main two were to lose weight and do well at university. Okay so I achieved one of them - I lost 2 1/2 stone! But I practically dropped out of uni oops.. although I'm going back in September to start my final year again :)


Here are the ones I've thought up for this year:


Get to my goal weight and maintain it 
Although I did really well last year I'd still like to lose another 2 stone and once I'm there I NEVER want to put weight on again haha. Within this resolution I'd like to improve my running, I only started 8 weeks ago but it's my new obsession.

Be more creative
I used to be really creative when I was younger but TV/internet seemed to take over. I've already decided I'm going to start a scrapbook of my year but I'd also like to do some knitting/sewing and maybe join a choir as I love singing - my ideal choir would be something like Glee!!

Be more sensible with money
Over the last two years I've taken my student overdraft for granted and I've lived a little out of my means really but until September I'm going to be working full-time so I'd like to get out of my overdraft and save up for big things that I really want like a holiday abroad with my lovely Alex.

Get my final year at Uni off to a good start
I need to get myself organised and prepare myself over the summer this year so I have a head-start on the modules and hopefully I won't fall behind as quickly as I did this year. 

So there we are, I really hope I achieve my goals this year. Without sounding sickenly positive, I feel like 2012 is going to be a good year. I love reading other peoples resolutions so comment with a link if you've done a similar post.. :)
