Mine was the same after gaining a stone over Christmas. I've been doing alright by not combining my carbohydrates (pasta, spuds, rice) with animal fats. In other words, no crabs with carbs :!:

This year, is gonna be important yet exciting year for me. Possibly, this year I will finish my undergraduate study. I want to apply Australia PR and find the job here. As the Australia immigration requirement, I need to provide IELST with 7. Thus, this year, I need put great effort in my learning English activities.
Another resolution is to be more socialized, get involve in voluntary activities. |

| For me, making New Year's resolution is silly. Why New Year? Why not 5th July or 3rd March? :) People tend to make resolutions when something ends/starts, like "next month", "from Monday", "1st January" and so on. And then you get irritated with yourself that you didn't keep your resolution. Try strenghtening your strong will more often than once a year, peaople! ;) |

| The goal I set was to learn 2 000 new words in German, if possible - more, and to maintain, if possible - improve, my body performance. I think I am progressing quite well for now. :) Oh, yes, and to take a driver's license. :shock: |

Because this number sounds realistically to me. If I focus exclusively on German I will be able to learn a lot more, say, 10 000, but I highly doubt I will be able to memorize them well. |

| Ski: if you learn systematically and don't overload your brain, it's possible. Good luck mate! :) |

When my mum began having pulmonary problems, she quit cigarettes quickly. But 'problems' should here read 'close to coffin'. Rapid deterioration made her quit. |

Keep trying, underdog! If anyone can, YOU can!
I just LOVE it when people want to try improving their health and general well being. |
