I'm not one for resolutions either - but I do plan on getting back onto my diet. My wife went nuts with the holiday baking and I've not been eating well for the last several weeks.

To be more positive, creative and open minded. Also to try to eat more intuitively, and arthritis allowing, to get back to running.

I can try to listen to new music but probably something either on the internet radio stations like SomaFM or give 6 Music a try. One Direction and Justin Bieber aren't my thing. I also am going to explore some older music. After downloading an AC/DC Christmas song I would like to explore their lesser known songs.

Be careful! There aren't many things more harmful to even healthy load-bearing joints than running. Fast walking or cycling are much better - or if you can stand the boredom of it, swimming.

I want to get back to playing racketball regularly, and hopefully squash too. Time has been the issue, just need to think creatively to overcome that.

You ARE healthy and active though. Which means the other stuff isn't so harmful.

Alas, cos my left knee only bends 80 degrees I can't cycle - can't bend the knee enough to actually pedal! Very annoying as I did used to cycle when I was a teenager, but it's a solid block of scar tissue, there's no way around it. I do hate swimming, even though I know it's the best thing for one's joints.

Running is genuinely the only exercise I've ever enjoyed - I have done some research and apparently I can't actually make my arthritis any worse, but I can obviously cause myself unneccessary pain. The problem is that my pain is so unpredictable - I can be fine for literally months, then suddenly in pain every time I walk for weeks. It's very frustrating. At the moment I'm completely unfit and I would like to feel like I can run for a tram without hyperventilating!

I can't run any more but I think regular fast walking might be an option for me. The only problem is that it takes a long time! Again, need to get life organised.

Happy New Year Ladies And Gents.

Mine are the usual boring old shite:

Lose 3-5 stone
Hopefully get a girlfriend
Not let the silly things wind me up too much
Learn to drive

How many of those will be successful remains to be seen :lol:

I don't think you can really resolve to get a girlfriend. You can resolve to put yourself out there more, do more social activities etc and/or make yourself more emotionally available, but these things just happen when they're meant to happen, I think. Bearing in mind I'm now in love with someone I've been friends with for ten years - if you'd told me this time last year that I'd be in this situation now, I'd have laughed at you :)

Run more (first run in 4 months yesterday thanks to a fractured metatarsal and a gammy knee), eat a bit less...I did consider "be nicer to people" but that would be more a complete personality change as opposed to a resolution so decided against it.
