I may be being unreasonable given that we've still got Christmas to go. I've just been hit with a wave of inspiration that very likely will die down by this evening

I'm also addicted to mumsnet 🤭

What do you want/need to work on in 2025? For me, i want to learn French and finally finish decorating my house.

I also want to practice being mysterious and less of an open book. I do have a tenancy to spill my lore to strangers irl as well as on mumsnet

If you've got time on your hands this afternoon, please do tell x

  • Try murjarno (weight loss jabs ) I had lost a stone since August, but busted my ankle two weeks ago and I’m dreading weighing myself
  • read 50 books - and write about them in a book journal
  • get rid of an annoying 450£ overdraft that seems to be hanging around like a bad smell

Run two marathons and learn Italian

  • Finally finish learning Debussy - 1 Arabesque on the piano. It has taken me all of 2024 to get the first four pages right - I am a slow learner!
  • Get stronger. Not sure how. I think I need a more detailed plan.

I’m going to master how to make my own puff pastry.

Go abroad on holiday for the first time in 25 years.

make all my own cakes and biscuits and not buy anymore.

Design and knit pairs of socks which will fit my tiny feet perfectly.

I love these

I need to lose weight. We’ve had a few tough patches with my ASD DS this year and I absolutely have been eating my feelings at times! Getting through Christmas and then I’m clearing out the spare room and buying a treadmill.

Grumpyoldthing · 19/12/2024 20:45

Ohhh I’ll come back to read this tomorrow

I need to be healthier. The last 18 months have been really hard and I've fallen into very bad habits.
So more exercise, better food, less alcohol.

Ifyouinsistthen · 19/12/2024 20:03

I love reading these and best of luck everyone! Mine are:

  • complete on new house and redecorate it
  • lose 15kg and get back to regular workouts and better nutrition
  • get a new job (I hate my current one so much for so many reasons)
  • find an investor for my startup
  • start a martial art
  • sell my flat
  • buy a car

Finish my chemo treatment and hope it's worked it's magic !
Once treatment is finished I want to improve my nutrition and start pilates
Build strength, improve muscle tone and be healthy and fitter again
Plan and go and lots of city breaks and enjoy exploring new places
Sort out my garden and make it lovely
Declutter the house from top to bottom, redecorate and make it a home where every room can be enjoyed (rather than a dumping ground of stuff I don't really need!)

To try to use the fact that I will have a slight reduction in responsibilities at work from January to try to manage my (currently impossible) workload better and take some time to improve my health and fitness.

Lose 15kg. I’ve lost 5kg in the past few weeks, so feeling motivated.

Also I’d like to get engaged/married this year. No big fuss, just would like to have the legalities sorted out really.

Congratulations on the loss 🙂

I've got some to lose as well but I'm looking into mounjaro

And fingers crossed for a nice and peaceful wedding for you x

Make new friends in the place we've relocated to.

I've got a really strong feeling that next year is a year of change for me, I've felt like it all day 🤭

Can't tell if it's the pre new year delusion or something real

Gonna deep clean my oven and finish my kitchen- I'm gonna paint the cabinets black and the walls a moody darkish grey

Get the garden sorted

Save some money to get my teeth sorted

Become my sexiest self 🤭

PerambulationFrustration · 18/12/2024 23:22

Mine are
Eat less sugar and carbs, more veg.
More regular exercise
Set up my website
I'm also thinking of writing a book.
Go to more places

Wordsmithery · 18/12/2024 22:59

Lose weight (started that journey already) and start wearing clothes I love rather than clothes that I can squeeze into. Counselling to come to terms with some difficult things. Listen to more music.

thenewaveragebear1983 · 18/12/2024 21:30

Lose some weight, I'd like to be 10.3, that will be around 21lbs to lose I think after Christmas

Run London marathon

Quit social media

Meet some friends and strengthen my social circles

Work on my driving anxiety

Stop drinking and cut out ultra processed food (doing whole 30 to start in Jan, I'll see how that goes)

abracadabra1980 · 18/12/2024 21:25

To stop saying "Ffs" at least 10 times a day in my head.

georgepigg · 18/12/2024 21:18

God I’ve got loads, love this time of year - the inspo just hits me, every year without fail!! Love a brand new year.

My goals are mainly professional and outing but I’ve lately been compiling a few lists:
Just get done ASAP
2025 to-do
Before 40 goals (currently 35)
Family want-to-dos

Get stronger...im only 45 & have struggled the last few months with sciatica it's awful. Need to move more, lose a bit of weight & work on my core

Cut back on alcohol a bit

Other than that I'm hoping for a year where all of our friends & family thrive. The last 2 years have been tough with losing close family members. I feel like we need a bit of good luck on that front.

Sorry for your losses xx - yes I feel like 2025 is about thriving as well

Decorate/revamp our main bathroom!! It's been driving me mad for years so 2025 is the year it gets sorted out.
And continue on with gym/fitness and weight loss
