What are you looking forward to in 2015?

 

 

Getting a job in the field I've been studying towards for 5 years and exploring all of the exciting things that come along with that (moving out etc :D)

I'm looking forward to growing a bigger and better relationship but my siblings especially my brother who really needs a good role model at the moment, looking forward to developing myself in order to help him

Travel, adventure, good friends and good food! I'm so excited for this year! I'm loving that everyone else seems to be as well!

 

@delicatedreamer Good luck with the job hunting! I'm in the exact same sitch and waiting to hear back from HR, the office I applied for goes back to work tomorrow, so nervy!

Who knows, maybe 2015 will be the year I go on my first plane! Yes, that's right folks, I've never been on a plane!

@stonepixie Super exciting! Going on a plane for the first time is so magical

@KitKat I've got no plans in the pipeline yet. But was thinking of maybe visiting my friend in Adelaide. Not too sure yet. But definitely want to do a domestic one before heading overseas. Got so many people to visit! So many couches to sleep on. Hahaha

Oh, I'm so excited for you @stonepixie ! It's going to open a whole new world for you, haha.

 

What are you goals for the New Year and how will you achieve them?

1. Finding a job in my field - Which means I'll be searching, searching, searching and applying, applying, applying!
2. Giving up soft drink except for special occassions like birthdays - I'm already down to one glass a week for the most part, so I'm getting there!
3. Eating more fruit & veggies - I've enlisted my boyfriend to bully me into try new things I haven't tried yet. I only had my first mushroom properly the other day, up until now I refused to even try them because I thought I wouldn't like them. Turns out you can't taste them at all. Also turns out I like cauliflower. So many surprises!

 

@Myvo Have you found any really cool ways you feel like sharing ? Eating more fruit is one of mine as well and I could totally use some inspiration! At the moment I'm just taking carrot sticks or an apple to work instead of chips / biscuits.

@KitKat Working on my tips - haha, quite challenging at times. Get what you mean with not wanting to bring junk for lunch too! Some tips would be: 

• Finding 'snack' fruit - Small fruits like raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, and grapes could be put into a nut trail mix (or just by themselves) into a small ziplock bag. You could have it at your desk or for lunch - it just looks pretty and simple. No fuss and just easy to eat!
• Overnight oats - Oats/bircher/museli + yoghurt and/or coconut soy milk/milk/almond milk + sliced fruit in a jar ~in the fridge overnight
• Choosing all your favourite fruits and making a fruit salad
• Keeping it simple:  just picking two fruits - and you know you've got to eat them by the end of the day!

@KitKat sounds like you're doing really well in terms of changing up what you eat and trying new things!

Have you tried eating dragon fruit? It's pretty amazing 🙂

@jvkn Haha, I'm pretty proud of myself although really, the food I'm only just discovering is food that people normally eat all the time. I still haven't overcome my aversion to mash potato though yet, haha. But no! Never! I just googled dragon fruit and it looks so intense! I'm totally going to try and find some now! What's the best way to eat it? Teach me everything!

 

 

And @Myvo I'm totally loving that overnight oats idea!  I stuck a sticky note on my desk and I'm going to look into it on the weekend! I've been dying to try using coconut milk instead of normal milk, I'm so excited now!

@KitKat  and @Myvo I have tried the overnight oats thing, in a mason jar, and added all sorts of goodies - sultanas, chia seeds, blueberries, nuts, seeds, almond milk.

OMG it was Awesome the next morning!!

 @verity23  That sounds so good! I'm totally going to make some for breakfast next week! 

 

And @jvkn That is my new goal for the year! When I find one I'll let you know 😛

@jvkn and @KitKat I've always wanted to try dragon fruit!

originally posted on 12-01-2015 9:12 PM

@stonepixie @KitKat Buy one ASAP 🙂

Cut in down the middle and scoop out the insides/cut it as you would a watermelon and enjoy it with your hands 🙂

@jvkn do you think I could find one at my local Asian grocer?

originally posted on 12-01-2015 9:17 PM

@stonepixie they should have them, even some supermarkets sell them too! 🙂

originally posted on 12-01-2015 9:17 PM

I found one at IGA not long ago! Maybe your local one will have some? Not sure because they're all different but try it, I find IGA has a lot of unusual items if you're ever in need of something odd.

People have all different goals - some big, some small. Unfortunately, this can come into play with comparing your achievements with others. What is your view on New Year's resolutions and setting goals?
