For many years I have not made any New Year resolutions. I’ve always felt that this time of the year was the worst time for changing my ways – something to do with the pitiable lack of sunlight in this part of the globe.
I made no explicit resolutions this year either. However, despite myself, I have changed a few things over the past weeks that might conceiveably improve my quality of life.
- I have cut down considerably on fries, jambons, breakfast rolls and other heart-cloggers for breakfast in preference for granola bars and apples.
- I have also cut down on snacking. I’m eating 3 meals a day and nothing in-between.
- I have given up smoking. Not that I was ever much of a smoker, but I have given it up completely now and I feel no craving for the stuff whatsoever.
- I have cut down greatly on caffeine. Strong coffees and teas were not going down well with me, so I’ve gone decaf.
I already feel a lot better. My stomach has settled down a lot and my body seems to be dealing better with stress. I also hope to do more exercise, particularly during the weekends.
Life is good.

All very sensible too … cutting down is way better than cutting out (except for smoking) and much easier to maintain. But watch out for those granola bars – they are often loaded with fat and sugar. Bran flakes, perhaps?
Yes – I am still on the lookout for something suitable. Milk and me are not on the best of terms however, which is why I was never much of a cereal fan..
Yeah, milk and Beamish do not go together very well 🙂
