New Year’s Resolutions 2025 – Update After 3 Months

It’s the end of March already, can you believe that? This year is flying by! It feels like I was only setting my New Year’s Resolutions yesterday, and now we’re already one quarter into the new year. As I promised in my original post where I listed my New Year’s Resolutions, I’m coming with a quarterly check-in. Partly to keep myself accountable, and partly because I think it will be interesting to look back on in a few year’s time. And of course, partly in case there’s anyone out there curious to see how other people’s resolutions are going. I set myself quite a few goals this year. Some of them I’m progessing well towards, others – not so much. Let’s go through the whole list.

9 Meat Free Recipes for January – Vegan And Vegetarian Delicious Meals

In a worldwide trend, a lot of people try to take part in Veganuary each year – switching to a vegan or vegetarian diet for a month. Whilst sticking to a meat-free diet long term isn’t for everyone, there are benefits of including plant-based meals in our menu. Those benefits include increasing fibre consumption (the vast majority of adults don’t hit their targets), and supplying our bodies with foods rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. January might be coming to an end, but it’s still a good time to try to diversify your diet and include more plant-rich options! Here are some of my favourite vegan and vegetarian recipes, in no particular order. They will satisfy even the biggest meat eaters too.

New Year’s Resolutions 2025

It’s 2025 already. Can you believe that? Me neither! The time flies so fast. I hope you all have an amazing year. This year, I decided to make New Year’s resolutions. It’s not something I do every year, but a few months ago I discovered an old blog post in which I set my resolutions for 2018. I had a lot of fun reading through that list and verifying how much of those things I eventually accomplished. So, I figured it would be nice to compile a list of resolutions for 2025, and then come back to it a few years later to see how they went. I spent some time thinking about it and ended up with a list that combines resolutions from a few different areas. I rarely write such personal posts, but I here it is!

Benefits Of Strength Training (Girls, It Applies To You Too!)

January is the time when most of us do our best to stick to New Year’s resolutions. And what’s the most popular of them? According to this study, top three resolutions made for 2019 were to diet, exercise and lose weight. Today, I would like to take a look at a dark horse of exercise niche, usually overlooked by those getting into fitness routine in order to improve physical condition and/or lose weight – strength training. Contrary to popular belief, strength training isn’t only about lifting extremely heavy weights by huge, muscular guys. It’s a kind of training that should be part of everyone’s fitness routine, as it brings serious benefits!
