Happy New Year to you all. I really hope each one of you have a wonderful 2011. You all deserve it. *smishes flist* Thank you for making 2010 such a positive and happy one for me.
At the party last night we had a round table meme so I thought I'd share that here:
It's called One Achievement, One Regret and One hope...
Real Life:
2010 Achievement: Having a damn good year. It's a kind of cop out achievement but looking back 2010 was such a positive and up beat year for me and I'm hoping that was due to my frame of mind. I was happy and I let myself be content with things that happened in RL.
2010 Regret: Regretting can be a negative thing to live with so instead I see it more as something I would like to have done more of. For me, I regret not keeping in touch with my family as much as I should. I live somewhat cocooned in my own little world sometimes and I didn't take the time to let my family know how much I love and appreciate them.
2011 Hope: I have made a resolution and I hope to achieve it. I want to trim up. Seriously trim up. My aim is to lose 5kg. It doesn't look like a lot but in reality it'll be damn hard. It will mean LOTS of exercise and cutting back on the carbs. The BIGGEST challenge will be the one my hubby and I have set for ourselves to kick it all off. Two months without alcohol. ACK! We both drink too much (every night) and so it will be a massive challenge for us.
We have even set bets on who will break first (as incentive). If he breaks first he gets to by a watch of his choice (long story, but he is addicted to buying watches...) and if he breaks I get to go to Wincon next year. That's the deal. As much as I want to go to Wincon, I hope neither of us break. 2 months! We can do it! 5kg! I can do it!!
Fandom:
2010 Achievement: Attending the All Hell Breaks Loose Convention in Sydney. Completely new experience for me and it took a lot for me to actually go. But I'm so glad I did.
I also like that I'm writing more. I'm not a writer by any means, but I have enjoyed writing the episode reactions and the occasional meta. I also really enjoyed the vidding chat over at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
spnroundtable recently.
2010 Regret: Hmm... I could wear my heart on my sleeve and say I regret not making a (what I call) "Fifth Circle" vid. (yep - I am referring![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
luminosity's vid). I have this unspoken (until now it seems..) desire to make a really artistically awesome vid. That's not me whining about what I've made so far, I am mostly happy with what I've done, I just hope to achieve those kinda artistic heights one day.
2011 Hope The above always stands. I hope to get closer to that achievement. But my main hope it that I have as much fun as I did this year. I've chatted to some amazing new people this past year and have enjoyed my LJ and fandom year.
I hope to get to this year's AHBL convention again. (eta: informed that that's in 2012. So that will have to go into next year's hopes... *g*)
I hope to continue to have fun vidding (oh man, I have 5 vids I want to make yesterday. There's nothing quite like being away from your editing program to inspire ideas). So I suppose I hope to be able to play with all the ideas I have at some point during the year.
That's me and my self styled meme. *g* (back to nursing my sore head now)
*huggles* to you all and I hope all your wishes and dreams come true in 2011.
Happy New Year to you all. I really hope each one of you have a wonderful 2011. You all deserve it. *smishes flist* Thank you for making 2010 such a positive and happy one for me.

I have every faith in you, but if you need help then, change a few more of your habits too, if you usually have a drink after dinner, then put dog on a lead/round up family and go out for even 10 minutes, if you usually spend XX amount on alcohol, then every week or whenever you usually buy, put that XX amount into a savings tin and watch it grow.
**hugs**
It's only 2 months not forever!

Date: 2011-01-01 11:04 pm (UTC)Yes - habit is the thing. I usually like a drink when I'm vidding, but I can stop that because I don't always. The hardest time will be after work on a Friday. That's the one I enjoy the most.
I gave up smoking, so I am hoping I can approach this in much the same way. :)
Thanks honey. (And we shall indeed be putting the money aside. That's about $130 a week!! /o\)
