2012 New Year's Resolutions

Wow, I can't believe this year is nearly over!  At the end of 2011 I decided to set myself some resolutions for the first time in a long time.  In this post I am going to have a look over them and see how I got on, whether I actually managed any!

• Get back into reading, been slacking so bad recently!  My new Kindle will help though I think :D

I was aiming to read 40 books this year and I'm very close to my goal, not 100% sure if I'll manage it but I am pretty pleased with this nonetheless!  It was harder than I thought, even though I love reading I am quite slow haha.

• Get to bed before midnight on uni nights.

Hmm...  This didn't really happen, I've been much better though I think! I am usually settled down by 1am which isn't too bad I don't think :)

• Try to be more motivated for uni and read my notes etc. at the time…

We can pretty much veto this one to be honest hahah!  Although I did pass the two exams I sat in August so that was good going!

• Be able to give blood, uch, I will at least try!

I am still underweight, I don't think I will ever be able to because I don't want to put on weight unless it's in muscle!  I am quite short and small built so I'm physically not meant to weigh much without being/feeling unhealthy!

• Get back to callanetics and pole dancing and go to at least one kettle bells class!

Yes, yes, yes!  I joined my local leisure centre so I have unlimited access to classes, I've tried lots of new things as well and feeling great!  I love exercise!

• Be better at saving again even if only putting a little bit away every month.

When I cut my hours I could only afford to put £25 away, if that - better than nothing though!  I've increased them again now though and I put the majority of my birthday money away too so it's looking good.  Hopefully I can use it for a holiday or something next year.

• Continue to cut down meat consumption.

Only eating fish now!

• Ironically - spend less time on social networking sites….

Nooo... Although probably using Facebook and Tumblr a lot less.  I'm still as addicted to Twitter as ever though haha!

I also did update of these back in March which you can find here if you're interested!

New Year's Resolutions Update!

My New Year’s Resolutions and how I am progressing with them!:

• Get back into reading, been slacking so bad recently!  My new Kindle will help though I think :D

I am on 12th book so far this year, my Kindle definitely makes a difference!  I am aiming to read 40 but I am sure I could do a lot more than that especially in the summer.

• Get to bed before midnight on uni nights.

Uhh... This one hasn't really worked out very well for me!!  Some days I start uni at 12 and I get a lie so no point in being in bed before 12...  Still working on it!

• Try to be more motivated for uni and read my notes etc. at the time…

Oh god, well I do think I am a lot better than previous semesters!

• Be able to give blood, uch, I will at least try!

I'm only now just able to do it as you need to wait a year after piercing, but not sure how much I weigh at the moment so that could still be a problem.

• Get back to callanetics and pole dancing and go to at least one kettle bells class!

I have been going to callanetics almost every week!  Also doing pole dancing, yoga and zumba, so I am doing well with this resolution!  Sadly I've not been to kettle bells class because my friends have stopped going now!

• Be better at saving again even if only putting a little bit away every month.

I've been good with this one.  Because I halved my hours I can only put £25 away instead of the £50 I was doing previously.  But it's better than nothing!

• Continue to cut down meat consumption.

I am only eating fish now!

• Ironically - spend less time on social networking sites….

Ahem... well this one hasn't really worked!  I've stopped using Facebook and Tumblr as much I as I did previously, Twitter as much as ever and of course I've recently started my blog so I've spending a lot of time on here!  However my blog can be counted as a hobby I think so I don't feel guilty about it, it's worthwhile!

Which is 4 out of 8, not too bad for a quarter of the way though this year!



How are you getting on with yours?
