Strange how my mind goes totally blank and fuzzy when I try to think of possible New Years resolutions.

I'll have to remember that if I need a mental block for some reason.

January's the worst possible month for resolutions. Winter is the season of death and doom, a season that can only be survived (if that), not used as motivation for improvement. I don't bother thinking about the future until I see the tender, hopeful green shoots of April.

If good things come to those who wait, why is procrastination considered a bad thing?

Sounds like there may be excessive roughage in your diet…

My bionic ears help to contain any sproutings, or oozing from eating too much of something very yummy.

I'd be interested in finding bionic ears in a cornfield.

I read in a paper today that today is the day when people are most likely to give up their resolutions. I wonder how true that is?

Well, if you're a liberal American and your resolution was to quit drinking this year, I would imagine that would go right out the window today.

That reminds me – I know a few people who are doing 'Dry January'. Is that replacing New Year's Resolutions, where instead of deciding on something to change your life forever, you give something up for a month? Are there any other month-long events people do? (I've heard of Fanuary to raise awareness/money for cancer, not sure about the success rate on raising awareness compared to Movember, which I suspect is more noticeable…)

I'm having a dry January and whatever it's called, January isn't really the point. I've also started on a Man v Fat programme (playing in the Luton League - 6 a side. One goal awarded for every two players who lose some weight in any given week which carry forward into your game).

On February 1st, I won't simply return to my old pattern of drinking (and eating pies) which was increasing steadily as was my weight and my chances of dying prematurely.

To date, January has seen a loss of over 10lb. I don't expect (or want) to continue to lose weight at that rate.

I had forgotten how to kick a football.

You can call me TC

If it helps you lose 10 lbs, surely that's reason enough.

Sorry, my lack of experience with football-kicking kept me from realizing that smiley - blush.
