    I've never really liked "new years resolutions" as they are always so hard to keep. And when I break them I have a real sense of failure - and I hate to fail. And fail I do, usually within a couple of hours of the 1st of the month.

    So, this year I'm going to commit to "working on improving".

    I'm going to work on:

    1. Keeping my temper. Especially when I'm driving - I've got terrible road rage, more often than not directed at pensioners who drive at 40mph everywhere. It's really not their fault - they started driving when there were no speed limits so assume everything is still the same, and they don't go over 40 out of town because they recognise their skills are so limited they would be a danger to themselves and other road users by going any faster. So, more patience required there.

    2. Spending more time with my Mum and Dad. Regardless of how much I want them to be, they won't be around forever and I really should spend more time with them now.

    3. Loose a stack of weight. In 2009 I shed 2 stone and although I haven't weighed myself recently I suspect it's all gone back on. So, I really need to get some weight off and starting Jan 2 the work begins.

    So, what are you all gonna work on in 2011?

    Save cash is a good start as I'm getting married in December 11, and with that i've also enlisted the help of a mate who is a personal trainer to get me in shape!!

    I'm going to shift some weight as well, I'm still below what I was last summer but I've put a large amount back on.

    Target weight is 10st 7lbs so that's 21lbs I have to loose

    had a thought about what I could in 2011 that I didn't do in 2010 and can't come up with anything so for me it's just keep going as I have been.

    I've lost 3 stone this year so the plan is to keep going till I reach my target weight this new year. The other thing I want to do is go to college and study art and design.

    Wishing everyone good health and happiness for the new year x
