Ever think of having a life overhaul?

daftbegger

I have changed a lot of things in my life this past couple of months. I have given up the gargle, joined a good gym, eat healthy foods, have gone back to my childhood love of kickboxing (for fitness) and it is making me feel fantastic!!
I have done this coz I'm THIRTY in a few months!!!ahhhhhh!!

Have you ever done Or wish to do something like this?
And if so, what are you gonna do?

Question open to everybody that does NOT know me.
(hint hint)

p.s. my bloody profile is broken...**** crap ****!!

That's pretty much exactly what I'm doing at the moment. I gave up the fags about 2 months ago, pretty much stopped drinking except for the odd pint or glass of wine at the weekend. Going to the gym and swimming every day, eating less crap, up to 400 sit-ups and 200 press-ups every night.
I feel pretty good, I've lost almost 2 stone! And I wanna learn to surf too.

Happened one day, I did a Costanza and decided everything I was doing was wrong so I'd try doing the exact opposite

Only thing is all my pants are way too big for me now

Ever think of having a life overhaul?

Yes.... constantly.
I admire people who have the courage to break out of old habbits and change their lifestyle for the better.
My problem is, I'm waiting for the 'right moment' that never seems to come... added to my complete indifference towards the universe... ah one of these days

I'm waiting for my mid-life crisis before I make any drastic changes.

yeah, to be honest I think its the new year thing. I used to think that giving up stuff as a new years resolution was a load of monkey sack basically because ppl always give stuff up for a week just for the sake of it and then go back...

BUT this year about two weeks after news years I gave up the smokes (one of the hardest things I have ever had to do) and am now going to start swimming and getting fit again.....I'm even comtemplating taking up Thai Boxing (hardcore stuff) , altho mainly because it seems to be the most easily accessable martial art in Cairk.

Actually if anyone knows of any good martial art clubs (preferance Kung Fu) in Cork pls post em down here. Ta

Hmmm, that could almost describe me (I won't claim to have rediscovered kickboxing).

My twenties have definitely been complicated and often stressful. Lately, I have been stripping away layers of that complexity. I started with moving back to Ireland (not a bad oul' spot).

One of my resolutions is to spend an absolute minimum amount of time thinking about money. That means, for example, no involvement with shares. No tracker funds, no company options (if I can avoid it). I have a plain vanilla SSIA. I won't get rich but I don't care - I feel less stressed as a result.

Keeping it simple is the overall motto.

Gave up amphetimines seven months ago,it was much harder to kick than ecstacy.
I would hope the difference is apparent in my posting quality.

I'm here for a good time not a long time.:cool:

If I ever change it will probably be for the "worst"/funnest.:D

Yup.

Sorted out my studying for my exams, took up running and proper exercise, changed my attitude from waiting for good stuff to happen to making good stuff happen and generally relaxing down a bit. It's great!

While i agree with the occasional "life overhall" if you find yourself doing it rather frequently you'd have to look at yourself and ask the question, why?

IMO changing your lifestyle on a semi-regular basis may be a sign of low self esteem or it may be that you're not happy with your living conditions... by that i mean your surroundings, friends, family, social or living environment.

I know thats why i change anyway.

i changed by drinking a lot more, took up smoking (really, really stupid), got really unfit (to the point of walking any distance makes my out of breath) and several other things.

ill probably stay like this ytill im finished college. than cop the **** on.

When you sweat when you eat....that's when you know, hehe

I'm pretty sure there's at least one kung fu club in Cork. Apparently there's one guy who lives like a shaolin monk, he'll attack you in the street if he sees you to check if you're "aware" enough .

There are a few good TKD clubs too.

Ask in the some of the sports shops in town, since they supply all the gear.

I do that quite regularly... I left France to live in Ireland 4 years ago... That was a big change... I took on the Irish way of life (Work pub, pub, work). 3 stone gained later I dumped the boyfriend, the job and the stones (no, not the pub, I keep the pub, YOU leave my pub alone ok?...), to find new ones...
I feel much better now, somehow...
I think it's good to change from times to times, adds perspective to a life that's merely habits otherwise. Just need to get rid of these f*** habits, they are no good. I know I'm losing myself when I get too much into routine, so I try to change things as often as I can...
