New Year's Resolutions

[BoMac]

Well folks, there's a little more than a week left in 2006. It went by so fast! I was wondering if:

Do any of you have and/or make New Year's resolutions?

Do you manage to keep them? If so, for how long?

What are your resolutions? Are they realistic?


Here's mine(we'll see how long they last!)

I resolve to:

1. Eat healthier and try to shep some pounds

2. Be more organized and less of a procrastinator

 

[verte76]

To lose 20 lbs.

 

[BonosBaby12]

To work on my quick temper

Oh and I made a resolution to lose weight last year and I have stuck to it ever since

Congrats on staying true to your resolution! I know it must not have been easy.

I'm hoping for a similar type of success.

Mine are pretty much the same!

Awww thank you! You are very right it wasn't easy but it's really worth it in the end

Good luck I know you can do it!

 

[Bonos_Lemon]

Use less paper towels and to brush my teeth and wear my glasses on the weekends. They are pretty simple so I think I can actually stick to my resolutions this year!

 

[Mr. BAW]

I want to meet more interferencers in person; time to make good on all those travel plans...!

 

[Lancemc]

My New Year's Resolution is to get my schoolwork done in a timely and orderly fashion.

But I know that will never happen, never has.


Oh well.

-drink 10 glasses of water a day
-go to swim practice everyday unless i have a good excuse (no sleeping in..)
-take a multivitamin every day
-tell my family members i love them everyday and ask them about their day
-make a specific effort everyday to be less judgemental and more sympathetic to people in general (sounds like a random unachievable goal but it's actually possible if you just think about it everyday- i just tend to "forget" )
-eat chocolate once a week tops

 

[Liesje]

- Get an elliptical and use it. This will happen as soon as I pay off our Hawaii trip and can afford it...

- Clean the litter boxes more often

 

[GibsonGirl]

To lose a bit of weight and get fit again. Back when I used to play football (soccer) for my school, I used to be 110 pounds and could run 2 kms without working up a sweat. I'm now 118 pounds and get tired if I jog for twenty minutes.

The goal is to FINALLY make use of the damn gym fee I have to pay to my university and work out for at least an hour every day. Hopefully I'll be fit enough to try out for the girl's rugby team this time next year.

 

[VertigoGal]

GG I think remember you posting in the (highly dysfunctional) height/weight thread and 118 lbs is perfect for your height.

I know what you mean though I hate getting side cramps and violent wheezing at distances that used to be easy for me.

 

[cell]

to give up pepsi for one year. going on week #2 already.

eat healthier (more veggies, take vitamins)

shed some weight (9 pounds gone, going on 10 soon)

go back to church eventually.

keep away from all drama.

Perfect for my height maybe, but not the appearance of my thighs. The weight I gained over the past five years seems to have congregated there and it pisses me off. I also used to have a flat stomach...not anymore!

It's more just getting physically fit and eating healthier, though, that I'm concerned with. Not just losing weight. I get the same thing as you. Wheezing, side cramps...even headaches. I never used to get headaches after going for a run.

 

[No spoken words]

To not be living in Los Angeles this time next year, unless something incredibly positive develops at work.

To continue losing weight. Dropped 75 pounds in 2006, need to keep it up because I'm still somehow a blimp.

Do more mentoring.

Start playing sports more often, I miss that rush of exercise and competition. Still playing softball year round, but, need more.

Write more.

Continue to expand my horizons, and focus specifically on leaving my comfort zone more often....have this cocoon I've constructed around me and while I love my life and the people in it, feel like I've stagnated and that must cease.

That's a long enough list.

-drink 10 glasses of water a day

I'm not sure that 8-10 glasses is necessary, as water is found in a lot of foods we eat. I think I did that for a while, but now go by thirst.

This website debunks that as a myth:

[love_u2_adam]

i only have one:

pass bio

maybe make my printing a little bit better

 

[U2MaNaIcWeIdO]

I don't usually make my own New Year's Resolution cause I think they are stupid....but I do have an overall family Resolution....We don't want my mom going to back to the hospital at all!

 

[enajh2]

1. Put on some weight!

2. Reduce my outgoings

 

[U2Man]

lose some weight. around 16 pounds.

I hope Ireland is on your list

I don't make New Years resolutions, I'll never stick to them.

That site is cool. I've learned that 5% of people that take the anti-depressant drug 'Clomipramine' have "inadvertent orgasms when yawning"

interesting...I'm an athlete though and generally feel like I need to drink more water so yeah. I doubt it could hurt me and everyone needs their pointless little goals.

 

[Carek1230]

I am going to enjoy a trip to Ireland/UK and look for a new job, new interests and new friends. Out with the old, in with the New.

Ditto that. I've gained over 30 pounds since I had to quit gymnastics (had to as in I did not quit by choice). Most of it went to my thighs, hips, and stomach. Now it's starting to spread

I should really quit soda, or at least try to make enough time to burn off my soda calories every day. Like that would ever happen

I had a bad soda addiction too but I switched to diet soda so no calories but I still get satisified.

Skip TO and come to London!!



More travel

Less Work

Lose more weight

Continue to downsize the amount of stuff I own

Volunteer more

I made a resolution last year to be open to dating, which I did a few times early on in the year, so maybe resume that again, although there only seems to be a bunch of clowns in the dating pool around here.

Buy another house or buy a cottage by years end or be in a position to for early '08

I've tried, but I hate the taste. I'd rather drink mouthwash than diet Mountain Dew. Plus, it's just as bad for your teeth (it's the acid, not the sugar) so I might as well go cold turkey, it just hasn't worked out yet...

Quitting soda was a very hard but very key thing for me. I went Cold Turkey and have maybe had 2 glasses in the past 12 months. I cannot stand the taste of diet soda, either. I basically stick to water now, with the occasional glass of Apple Juice.

I'd like to meet a few more interference people, too, and to that end, I'll be at the NY gathering on St. Patty's Day. Now it's just a question of actually meeting some of these people as opposed to just being in the same place as them without introducing myself.
