We have suddenly gotten half way through January, most have
started drinking alcohol again and added the gym membership to the previous year’s
ones to gather dust again. We have
resigned ourselves to being slightly overweight and as the cold weather
persists are quite happy to vegetate in front of Netflix and Amazon TV.
Especially with the continuation of 'Lucifer' coming on the 17th of
January on Amazon and new series 'A Series of Unfortunate Events' on Netflix which looks
very good for all ages, nearly. So what
does 2017 hold for us all, more of the same?
I for one am a believer in the resolution, to be less
stressed, to take up meditation, so to be less stressed and continue with my
work out regime and add some new areas to it at home as well as the gym. But whatever you do, don’t do them in
January. This is where most people seem
to go wrong, we have a boozy, food indulgent month of parties and family time
then try and cut our bodies off to what they have got used to, you can’t go
cold turkey (get it, Turkey! Okay I’ll continue).
So instead why don’t you just cut back, it is January after
all, then slowly move towards the well documented “New You”, which as we know
is the same you in spandex, or like me sitting in a room with earplugs thinking
of my breathing, minus any spandex. I
start any thoughts on the new year in March and April, because the skies are a
little lighter when crawling out of bed in the morning, the temperature is
above freezing to the point it feels even tropical compared to the apocalyptic
two previous months. So don’t try and
grab your year by the horns and own it, just be gentle and eventually it will
go your way, it is a philosophy I stand by.
According to the general view 2016 was a bad year, I must
admit it started well but was a hard year for me with a lot of stress from work
to buying a house behind me now, I am positive about 2017. Plus already booked the first trip away,
Venice is coming up which I am very much looking forward to. And of course
there will be a travel blog to go with it. Other posts that will fill 2017
include Fashion (I have let London Fashion Week Mens pass this year), Film and
TV thoughts past and present, some music, tech, lifestyle, food and fitness the
list just goes on, and one of my resolutions is to plan more and post more so
watch this space. 2017 is the year of
twcoombs.co.uk.
I wish you all a prosperous and healthy 2017.
