    ..to make you/your life better…

    Mine – to NOT keep checking my iPad/smart phone when playing/spending time with my son. It makes me feel like a terrible father when I do it, and I don’t want to be a terrible father..

    Yours?

    1) lose another stone. two would be better but let’s aim for the achievable eh 😉
    2) brew more, drink less. Hopefully the latter will help with #1

    to ride more.
    I have set myself a 500 mile per month target, 340 0f which is commuting, this will help me control my weight a bit better, and hopefully keep me out of the pub every weekend.

    To multi-task less. There’s a time and a place for juggling more than one thing at once, but I’ve learnt that eventually – for one’s own sanity if nothing else – you need to focus on one thing at a time. This is not just work, but is exactly what DrP was talking about in his OP.

    Pack in smoking. In a plan as cunning as a cunning fox, who’s just been appointed professor of cunning at Oxford university, I did it at the beginning of December. So I’d have a month under my belt before it became a New Years resolution

    Clever eh?

    This is my sisters view, though she added ‘You’ve had 352 days since the last one so why now?’

    Wait….

    I’m going to get my weights back from the people that have had them for the last 5 years (have checked , they know I’m comingfor them) and put them to good use getting rid of my belly and other wobbly bits.

    1 – Continue to loose weight.
    2 – Leave work at work, I have far more important things to do at home now with a 9 month old little girl.
    3 – Start cycling to work.

    I really want to be very fit again. I’ve never been particularly unfit but between the ages of 20 and 26 I was supremely fit and full of motivation as a result. I’m 31 now and I can’t remember what it was like to be full of energy and motivated to take part in things – climbing, competitive cycling and running etc.

    So I just want to be as fit and full of ‘bounce’ as I was back then. It will have a big impact on my life and my nearest and dearest too.

    +1 give up coffee. Managed to give up the black stuff for a good three months earlier in the year but drink more now than ever! I know I’m in for a rough first week as I felt like turd last time I abstained. I found giving up a 20 a day death stick habit easier :/

    Ride as many gravity enduros as i can and try and get at least one top 10

    Try and put some money away in a savings account (unlikely though, i’m already eyeing up a new 650b rig and at least 2 weeks in the alps…)

    Old boy, surely you need more than just beer at the weekends? Perhaps some toast in the morning at least?

    I’m going to try and do something nice for someone every day, without expecting anything in return. Hold a door, let someone out into traffic, just be nice to someone. Maybe it’ll improve their mood and they’ll also do something nice for someone.

    Personally, I’m not going to take work so seriously any more. I’ll do the best I can at it, but I refuse to get down over things I have no control over. At the end of the day, it’s only a job.

    Looking forward to playing badminton with my son and to start running together. Quality father and son time doing something sporty. Shame he won’t ride bicycles.

    Totally agree with the OP. Me too.

    Lose two stone
    Stop drinking Monday to Friday (it’s only a glass or beer each night, but it’s almost every night)
    To stop trying to relentlessly cram as much in every day, and running at maximum. Not healthy.
    Smile more.

    But if succeed with more time with my boys I’ll be happy.
