Use it or Lose it

As it is the last day of 2008, I thought it would be an ideal time to post my weight loss and fitness resolutions for 2009.

In 2009, I resolve to:

• Go to the gym at least three times a week, for at least an hour at a time;

• To increase the number of different fruits and vegetables I eat to the recommended five portions each day – I have been very bad at doing this during 2008;

• To reach my ideal weight of 150lbs, aiming to lose 1-2lbs per week until I hit this; and

• To maintain a healthy weight once I have reached my ideal weight.

Obviously, these goals are really just about taking better care of myself, getting more exercise and eating better. As well as the boost to my self-esteem, this should hopefully improve my health and stop me from becoming ill again in the New Year.

What are your New Year’s resolutions, and what will you be doing to make sure you achieve them in 2009?

Happy New Year!
