New Year Resolutions

[Robbo]

So what is everyones new years resolutions?

 

Mine is to do a digital detox and take things easy.

 

Oh and I say every year but spend more time in the gym.

 

Hmmm my new years resolution should be not to make one as I always break them.

 

 

[VFR Pilot]

Loose 10 kilos so I can carry more weight in the plane and not on my belly. Fly more hours than I did this year, all the while trying to keep the missus happy

 

( a delicate balancing act )

eat less, drink less, exercise more, fly more.

Show more tolerance for fools as I'm so badly outnumbered, eat more lamingtons and fly more than I did this year. Learn something new, the flute?, quantum physics? Tai Chi?

 

 

[pmccarthy]

Lost ten kilos this year, aiming for twenty next year. Fly a lot more. Finish writing a book.

Hmmm a digital detox, wonder what that is. Do you need a rubber glove for that

Funny how one thing leads to another. I visit the link posted by Robbo, then spent an hour reading up on half a dozen psychology topics. Was relieved to discover a digital detox does not involve rubber gloves or anybody's digits. Thanks to the Great Magnet for the cool change, been awful here in Adelaide.

I havn't got enough kilo to want to lose any, maybe brain cells are what I will lose.

 

Seriously I never have a new years resolution. If I need a resolution I will do it at any time of the year. No resolution and you always feel good.

Don't smoke and drink mostly clean water. The two best things you can do for yourself. Start from there. Nev

Yep and Scotch is made out of clean water from the cleanest Lochs in Scotland so I am told.

At some point it's all relative!

well done, that's what I need to do. Is there any particular trick that's worked for you?

 

 

[Geoff13]

I set the goal of losing 10 more kilos last New Year, only 25 kgs to go.

 

 

[dutchroll]

Not making one. I've never seen a New Year's resolution kept by anyone. Ever!

 

 

[bexrbetter]

I tried to lose 60kgs this year but she just won't leave.

 

2016 resolution is simple, I'm going to change aviation.

 

 

[Gnarly Gnu]

How about unveiling the Bex aircraft?

 

 

More like this here, good to see.

Not sure how a Zenith CH-701 (or could be an 801, if the "seats 4 people" is correct) with a perfectly standard Rotax setup falls into the "Crazy DIY inventions" category.

spend more, eat more, drink more.....forgot...fly more. In a nut shell...........do anything, but MORE of it.

 

If you love your tucker etc, and weight is gaining...........why pain yourself and eat shyte, jog everyday, ride a bicycle in lycra..........it's all pain. Lifes short, eat drink yourself to death, lovin every minute of it.

Jenny Craig is working for me. I don't spend any more with that than I would on regular food, and I haven't given up on the red wine, so progress is slow but that's how I want it.

I go for a walk in the mornings. Once you're into the habit it's quite good. Stick my earbuds in and listen to some marching music, but not too loud. I mapped out a path (clear of the Visigoths and Vandals) and it's about 3 ks which I aim to cover in 30 mins. It has done a great job on the legs with respect to aching feet etc. And, I get to nick lemons etc. hanging over peoples fences! As for food, I'll eat anything and everything. I want to try grasshoppers with rice this year. I might try lifting some weights as the port bottle isn't heavy enough.

Nawww, the child working on that plane is far too old for my crew.

Hey I can relate to this. I also do some walking and amateur powerlifting and have eaten grasshoppers (crickets actually). Dunno about with rice though, had mine with a side of silkworms (they are nicer IMO).

My New Year Resolution is to get an instrument rating, and as much as it frightens me I want to get some basic aerobatic training. The latter more so doing spin recovery and some slightly more advanced unusual attitude recovery.

 

And whilst everyone is on the weight topic, I would love to do that too. I need an operation on my knee and spine due to a pretty bad trail bike accident a few years ago, but I know the recovery time is going to see me sidelined from flying for a while. Not keen for the couch so I will suck up the pain for now. The end result of that is exercise is virtually impossible (including walking). So in lieu of exercise, I guess I am going to have to cut back on the vino and food, so sad. Life was so much easier and pleasant when I was super active, I used to go do a 10km (running) race on a Sat morning, go sailing then retire to the pub for the evening.

 

Ultimate goal, do some time in gliders, but probably wont happen till I get those operations done... Maybe I should just bite the bullet and suck up that time on the couch...
