No,just doing powerwalks every morning and eating a lot less junk. I used to eat out 4 times a week and drink loads of alcohol. Havent eaten out or had any alcohol. Just goes to show the rubbish we put in our bodies Yeah, thats true especially when we start eating clean,you realize how much junk you ate...I guess sensible eating,portion control works in the long run rather than the fad diets like dukan etc..Really good job :) Thanks. :)

My resolutions were: Stop smoking, save more to pay off my debt, and stop making bad decisions when it comes to men. So far, I am on day 24 of not smoking and I feel so good I am also exercising more! I have gone out once this month for a girls night out and I didn't spend a penny. I have also got my savings plan finished and it isn't too difficult to achieve. I made a bad decision about an X boyfriend the other day...hence the girls night out. So all in all, im feeling pretty pleased with my self!

1. Not have expectations of ppl as I will only be annoyed/ dissapointed and have myself to blame 2. To spend less time with ppl who use me and give nothing back I like Freckly's first 2 and think I will adopt those as my own too. Beyond that: 3. Getting fit and reaching my goal weight by mid year. 4. Less time on PC and more time fulfilling my creative side.

As always my resolutions will be eat more healthily, exercise more and therefore lose weight - however these never happen (or happen and then get undone before the year is out) so I don't count them as proper ones! I would like to: 1) Go to the supermarket before the cupboards are completely bare and therefore avoid having to get a takeaway and buy lunches at work once every week. 2) Be more organised with meal planning and sticking to the plans because I seem to end up throwing away a lot of food. 3) Spend less - we spend a fortune and there surely is no need, I need to learn to say no to things and not be afraid of missing out.
