1) I have to continue to get to my target weight, losing a mere, but difficult to shift, 8 kilos.
2) I will do my morning exercises come what may, five days a week.
3) I will keep to my diet of moderation and no meal in the evening, bar fruit. I find it works for me, I just fall off the wagon when there are social occasions and then stay off for a while...
4) I will go jogging or swimming twice a week.
This is all linked to my need for self-love and self-care. I can feel myself slipping into frumpy middle-aged mode if I am not careful. I haven't felt too sexy in a while, except for a short bit last summer while on holiday. But I have been feeling good about myself so far this month after last month's depression. So I think it is time to take the bull by the horns and spruce up. Plus, spring is nearly sprung!
Improve my local language skills considerably - I need to be able to describe myself as having basic fluency by the end of the year.
1) I have just joined a BB to talk about questions and share ideas between English and the local language, so that should be a boost.
2) I don't watch any TV, so I will force myself to watch the News at the very least on local TV, two or three times a week, maybe every evening if I can get around to it.
3) I will sit down once a week for an hour and do some grammar study.
4) I will buy a notebook to make notes about words and phrases I have heard during the day that I need to look up or clarify. This is something I have been thinking about doing for ages, but haven't.
Well, that's a start!

LNL, Don't read anything into the Scrabble game at his place. I take a regular "tour" of things at H's place. It finally dawned on me that the items that are duplicated from our home, are really "reminders" to them of home.
So, if Scrabble was something you played together, you can bet that anytime he plays, he is reminded of the times he spent with you.
Hang in there! You're doing great!

Thanks for the welcome. I do check you out a couple of times a week. Along with Betsey and Pam's threads. You are hanging in there remarkable well!
For now I will "neglect" to update. I'm at peace, taking a writing class, and just hanging around. The writing class is interesting. I've learned that I know a great deal, and in some respects, know nothing at all!

More old friends turning up on my thread today, yay!
H rang this evening, to say the landlord was going up for the day, so D and I are going up for the day on Saturday. We will probably go for a walk and eat lunch out before returning.
Now, it had better not pour with rain or something....

I just remembered something he said on the phone after asking me if I wanted to come up just for the day instead of the weekend - he said "We could have some fun"!
WOW! I'm the one two years ago who was "NO FUN"
