VFR Pilot Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 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 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperplace Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 eat less, drink less, exercise more, fly more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabiru7252 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabiru7252 Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yenn Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Don't smoke and drink mostly clean water. The two best things you can do for yourself. Start from there. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty_d Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Hmmm... also in the same gallery... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/picturegalleries/howaboutthat/11051388/Ambitious-Chinese-inventors-take-on-crazy-do-it-yourself-projects-in-pictures.html?frame=3015759 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.

pmccarthy Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 well done, that's what I need to do. Is there any particular trick that's worked for you? 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.

Jabiru7252 Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might try lifting some weights as the port bottle isn't heavy enough. 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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearo Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 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...
