For the past 10 years or so I began to have some problems with gaining weight... a bit of mental surprise for me, as until I hit 50 I've never had to do anything to control it. On and off it's been like 5, 10 at times 15 kg over my optimum, not really making me fat (I'm quite tall), but certainly burdened by too much weight. Still, it wasn't a big problem, until COVID times and related decline in physical activities, especially no yearly mountain trek this summer. I've been a bit shocked finding myself in December with unnecessary 20 kilograms on myself, especially that my clothes were not showing much change, if any.
So, yes, this year I want to deal with this. No any kind of radical diet and such things, which usually end in a yo-yo effect, just some lifestyle changes. Among others I've purchased a cheap (second hand, a few years old) compact ultrazoom camera and I'm going back to photography, it being a very good excuse to take some walks.
So far I'm doing quite well, which I wish to all of you as well :)

You might be right about not keeping to resolutions.. it's almost 4 months in 2021 and I have no idea what mine was.
But to be frank - probably nothing as I didn't celebrate anything and didn't care about making a resolution as I had no idea what's coming even in the next week.
But if I had a resolution then it was probablt something like - get my shit together. finally.
Going slowly I guess, but it's happening.

Here it is. March 21st - the 80th day of this year, and according to astronomy we have officially a Spring since yesterday. Some of you might have started a spring cleaning, some of you will start it soon, and some don't care. But there's a saying I've heard, and it goes something like this: "A house in order is a mind in order".
Unfortunately I can't help you with setting your house in order, but maybe I can help with your mind?
With New Year, many people make resolutions and with nobody to watch over us, we usually start forgetting them very fast, or something more important comes up. And when next December comes suddenly, we start feeling bad over doing nothing we wanted to have done. Why not deal with this problem now?
So... tell me about your New Year's resolutions, how things are going with them, and if you simply forgot about them, conciously gave up on them, or were forced to abandon them. And somewhat similarly to BLAEO (backlog fighting initiative), you might get inspired to try again. One more attempt at almost lost cause? And when the event ends in 7 days, maybe you'll have changed something? Or maybe you're on top of your game, and want to brag how much control over your life you have? Go on and share the news as well!
Oh, and here's some giveaways
You can get busy living, or you can get busy dying. It's always a choice.
Edit: moved my own resolutions to a comment, to not scare you all with a wall of text :P
