Very well, thanks.

Seen 51 films I've never seen before out of my 150 target already. Extrapolated to a whole year (oh yes) that'll mean I end up watching 236 films I've never seen before this year. Shaboom.

    More's the pity.

    - I hope you have taken a random sample of those 51
      
      & checked that they were really new to you.
      
      Kitchmo @Steved | 21 Mar '14, 13:53 | X
lol

I didn't make specific targets but resolved to be a bit more decisive. Ummm, that's going really well.

    PickledOeuf @chris-budget | 21 Mar '14, 10:50 | X
I don't like resolutions. Made a few anyway.

I gave up the gym because I didn't want to conform to a body image society set up for me / wasn't convinced it was making me actually healthier. Miss it a bit especially since I used to go with a mate but ah well. That's going good I suppose.

My other one was cutting down on drink and other bad stuff, that's gone awfully and now probably worse than before New Years.

And I did start writing more, but slackened off. So about 1.5 out of 3. Must do better.

Wanted a new job - well I've quit

(did I tell anyone I quit?)

Wanted to get our a song a month - no matter what quality. So far I've done two. So a tiny bit behind.

- I swear to god, on the last day of your actual job in what, May?
  
  I am going to come down SARF to your office and cover it in bunting and do some kind of victory dance. And then hopefully you'll shut up about it.
  
  :'D (only kidding, it's a massive life change potentially- you should talk it through with people when you need to.)
  
  PickledOeuf @moker | 21 Mar '14, 10:52 | X
  - It work East
    
    Not south. Do't go south of the river.
    
    I know I'm banging on about it. I'm being post-modern and ironic and mocking my own incessant jabbering - I'm annoying myself so other people must be fucking sick of it.
    
    Bunting in May sounds nice though.

Don't drink Coke - HALF-TICK

Still drink the stuff from dispensers at McDonalds or Subway. But have cut out the can (or two) I was having every day at work. No can or bottle of Coke since 2013, so I count it a success.

TVDenimChap | 21 Mar '14, 11:10 | X
- coke is a good drink tho
  
  well done for cutting done
  
  chris-budget @TVDenimChap | 21 Mar '14, 11:11 | X
  - Thanks muchly!
    
    Had just got to a point where I wasn't even enjoying it, and I just felt a need to drink it. Followed immediately by a headache and my teeth feeling rotten.
    
    TVDenimChap @chris-budget | 21 Mar '14, 12:40 | X
I didn't have any real goals apart from reading more

with the general goal of 2 books a month which I am doing

This thread is also surprisingly positive, good job everyone

19948 | 21 Mar '14, 11:21 | X
- well done
  
  books are good

was trying to run 1000 miles this year

did 3 miles the first 6 weeks, gone a bit silly & got about 150 in since then, still behind but can probably catch up in the next month or two and then scale it back a bit. my feet hurt tbh.

other vaguer change/happiness goals going at a c+

codpieceface | 21 Mar '14, 11:21 | X
- well done cpf!
  
  make sure you don't injure yourself tho by over exerting yourself
  
  chris-budget @codpieceface | 21 Mar '14, 11:27 | X
  - cheers budgie
    
    i'm always vigilant. bought an icepack.
    
    codpieceface @chris-budget | 21 Mar '14, 11:28 | X
- woah
  
  1000 miles in a year would be a lot. I did 330 miles last year. anticipate doing about 500 this year. can't imagine fitting more in that that. good effort - good luck!
  
  GoatmeatMF @codpieceface | 21 Mar '14, 13:30 | X
  - thanks mang, i have too much time on my hands
    
    did about 500 last year but had 3 months or so off over the year cause my back was all wank. injuries permitting it's doable, think it's up/down to about 23 miles a week average now. want to get to 18 a week cos then i can do it in 3 runs and coast a bit over summer.
    
    codpieceface @GoatmeatMF | 21 Mar '14, 14:11 | X
didn't really make a resolution as I think there stupid

but I did feel like I should be getting (even) more out of my study as I realised that the amount of time I have left as a student is getting smaller and smaller.
So, less social life, following and doing the work for courses I don't have to follow, doing extra readings, being on time with my assignments? TICK

RobbeVP | 21 Mar '14, 11:28 | X
- well done robbeVP
  
  i hope the extra work all pays off
  
  chris-budget @RobbeVP | 21 Mar '14, 11:33 | X
I didn't make any resolutions or anything

but I like that everyone is being so nice to each other in this thread

I didn't make any resolutions

but I have been making music regularly, exercising regularly - beating personal bests, paintign lots of orcs, upping my baking game, being assertive at work - so that's all something. I'm not idling.

GoatmeatMF | 21 Mar '14, 12:12 | X
- well done GMF
  
  you are a running inspiration - looking forward to yr gig.
  
  chris-budget @GoatmeatMF | 21 Mar '14, 12:13 | X

Got 10 days left to hand in my notice

Raanraals | 21 Mar '14, 12:35 | X
- career change?
  
  or just firm? Come work in the city, it's going to be shit.
  
  Kitchmo @Raanraals | 21 Mar '14, 13:45 | X
I haven't even managed lent

Mattshaped_ | 21 Mar '14, 14:22 | X
Reading loads more - success

Moving house to be nearer to work - trains in motion.
Drinking less / none - not going so good. Still, 9 months left in the year!
