Thirteen Things For 2007
Ths is not so much about new years resolutions (I am not sure I really believe in those and anyway it is 25th Jan!) but about my plans for this year
- I have just 5 months to complete my MSc, and boy do I have a lot of work to do before then. I am going to have to get on with things and devote lots of time and energy to it. There is a research methods piece of work, a reflective portfolio and the dreaded dissertation.
- I need to sort out my job situation. I am thinking more and more that I need to be really brave and start applying for jobs outside of my current situation. I think I want to get closer to the patient again. Not sure that will mean actual patient care but never say never.
- I need to work with my colleague to get our consultancy work off the ground, so that the job I have in #2 can be part time, and I can still pay the mortgage!
- Studying will be a big part of home life this year as teen son approaches his GCSEs. He seems focused on them, but again he has till June to prepare.
- Starting to think about holidays, once the dissertation is done and teen son has finished his exams we are going to need to get away. I am thinking the Greek Islands.
- I need to stop dieting and start to just get active and eat better. I am beginning to see that dieting is just a way to get fatter, as I yoyo up and down. I am also going to need to get out of the house and exercise to clear my head (see #1-3).
- I want to try and do a few more things that are for myself, and this kind of relates to #6, if I want to go off and walk, maybe I should see about finding other like minded people to walk with (or head off on my own) rather than be put off by a husband who would far rather sit home watching football!
- I am going to catch up with a few friends I haven’t seen in ages and who I know I should ring and go and see (I know these things work both ways, but someone has to make a move).
- I am going to blog more (dissertation, work and visiting friends permitting). Some weeks I am very lax, and it doesn’t exactly take much time out of your day.
- I am going to read more of other blogs, and not get wound up by some of the comments our medic friends make about the place of the nurse!
- I might be needing some early nights at this rate!
- I must try not to leave things to the last minute!

I agree about the diet thing. Whoever invents a pill to cure obesity will be richer than Bill Gates and Oprah put together!
My T13 is up!

My husband uses the Fat Flush Plan and it’s a great healthy lifestyle you can use weekdays or for a couple weeks when you need it. Better than a diet. FF link below.
You have great plans and goals, just one day at a time. You can do it!
