New year resolutions - 2024

[Gambatte]

****** family *******

Not shout to my family

Be nicer to my family

Visit Mum at least 3 times

Visit my sister at least once

(I live 1200km from Mum and Sis)



****** health *******

Not buying alcoholic beverages (apart from already specified occasion, birthdays etc)

Never drink more than 2 coffees in a single day (excluding when I work night shift). I only drink the strongest espresso ever, so "only" 2 is a ton of caffeine already



****** Environment *******

Drive less than 3000km, year total



****** Finances *******

Save at least 1100€/month, average (not counting mortgage repayment, and voluntary workplace pension)



****** Physical activity *******

Run injury free whole year round. Complete at least one half marathon @<5min/km (the latter easy IF I crack the first, a big IF tough)

Cycle at least 10,000km and 100,000m elevation before my birthday. And climb at least once 5000m in a single day.

Swim at least 160km, year total

I wish you luck with all those resolutions, you are made of sterner stuff than I am.

I am happy to simply carry on as normal and at my age I don't intend giving up anything that I enjoy (unless I have to) and don't feel there is anything extra that my body can do, I am content with survival for another 12 months.

I'll just be carrying on as normal too. I don't really understand why a calendar year has to dictate any changes in habits, like christmas itself it's a relatively useless tradition.

I could do with getting to bed earlier at night, having some structure to my running and drinking less real ale.

More sensible things to do rather than resolutions.

I shan't be holding my breath though!
