Well first, I just want to say Happy 2012 to everyone. Hope everyone has had a fantastic start to their year.  Most importantly, I’m hoping you haven’t giving up on your New Year’s Resolution already. Will power everyone, it’s all about will power!! I decided to make a few resolutions myself and I thought I would share them here with you. I have three resolutions this year and they all go hand in hand with one another which should help motivate me. Well here goes:

Resolution 1) Keeping healthy for 2012

Resolution 2) Saving up for a trip

Resolution 3) Quit smoking

I’ve been smoking for the past 7 years (I’m 28 now) and I’ve never seriously thought about quitting but I think it’s time now. I’m tired of people and my friends giving me dirty looks for smoking around them, and for me it’s just getting too expensive. I reckon that since I want to save up for a trip this year, quitting smoking will save me a bundle and I’ll be able to get more fit in the process. Of course to get fitter I’ll have to attend the gym on a more regular basis and keep active more. But that shouldn’t be a problem now as I’ve signed up for a gym close to my flat.

I asked some mates about the gyms they go to, but for me it was a bit too expensive. Remember, I’m trying to save money this year! How I found the gym was through Groupon Deals. They were offering a deal that allowed me to use the gym for a year for 62% off the regular price, so how could I say no to that?

So my plan is to go to the gym at least 3 times a week, do some running on my own and start to eat healthier. And of course quit smoking, which is probably the most important aspect of trying to stay healthy.  And as I’m hoping to go on a trip this year somewhere I want to make sure that I’m looking my best. My goal is to try and go somewhere warm, maybe Southeast Asia so I really want to slim down a bit and look good for the beach!

I will make sure to keep you all updated on how I’m doing in my quest to accomplish my resolutions and keep healthy for 2012.

Keep an open eye out for deals on Groupon.co.uk. They occasionally have deals in London and surrounding areas for La Fitness.
