What are your new years resolutions?

[Sizzle]

I dont get into the resolutions much, but I''m thinking about writing some year goals down. One is to lose a significant amount of weight. I know that one seems trite, but I''m thinking in terms of my health and less about aesthetics..altough that can''t help either.

Another will be to make time for myself. What are yours?

 

[exoticisabella]

Stop trading up diamonds!

I know that I have a three stone ring coming to me in September for my five year anniversary. One carat center, two half carat sides, so hopefully that will keep my diamond frenzy in check

eta: and NEVER again put off getting a ring sized because I don't want to wait for it! I almost had to have a ring cut off on Christmas day

 

[MakingTheGrade]

Stop buying gemmies

 

[Hudson_Hawk]

My resolutions are to save more $. I know we can do it, we just have to bite the bullet and really get started. My other goal is to lose the 10-15 lbs I''ve gained by my birthday in April.

 

[y2kitty]

My resolutions are the same as Hudson_Hawks. One more specifically, I want to stop buying coffee from the Starbucks at work as well.

 

[jcarlylew]

a few goals, but they are intertwined...
1) train for the STP (Seattle to Portland) bike ride. which, in turn will...
2) help me lose weight for the wedding, and for overall health. only 40 lbs to lose

...which losing weight leads to...
3) make it through my wedding alive and everyone else involved alive

I even got bike shorts for christmas, so now i really have to train!!

 

[Bleed Burnt Orange]

Aside from getting a new job, which is at the top...my new year''s resolution is to use snooze only ONCE, and not three times!

 

[E B]

2010 is the year I learn to cook for my family. (It might not be good, but damn*t, it''ll be cooked.)

 

[dragonfly411]

run a half marathon
run a marathon
get myself thoroughly organized
enjoy the little things more
ride my horses more
get through my reading list... for real
write a book

 

[AmberGretchen]

Get back to working out despite an intense work travel schedule
Eat healthier on the road
Make time for personal travel as well as work travel

 

[Erinleigh]

My resolution is to reach my weight loss goal by August, and to gear up for street running (I usually just run on a treadmill/elliptical) so that FI and I can begin to train for a half marathon together!

 

[kenny]

I never make them.

Calendars are arbitrary.
They are not absolute.
They are made up and agreed with and there are more than one in use today.

I do not understand the relationship between the sun being in the same place that it was 365 days ago and me deciding to lose weight.
Every day is as good as any other day for deciding to start saving money or stop smoking.
Every day (or every hour) is a good justification for a fresh start.

 

[Hudson_Hawk]

Kenny, your resolution should be to not be a Debbie Downer in threads like this.

 

[MichelleCarmen]

I don't have any.

 

[lilyfoot]

Our New Years resolution is to maximize our saving ability

I''m really proud of what we''ve accomplished this year, and am just hoping next year will be even better!

 

[joelly]

I''m agree with Kenny in this matter. But if I''m going to make a NY''s resolution, that will be to save more and to have more positive outlook on life. Have a save NY''s celebration everyone!

Kenny, we know you have a lighter side - move over there, will ya???

I resolve to find any way I can to have my DH healthy again...There are a couple more associated with weight and money (the usual lose the first and keep more of the second

)

Oh come on Deco. Can you at least be realistic? We all know you won''t floss.

 

[Haven]

BWAAAAHAHAHAHAA! (Deco!)

 

[Elmorton]

Spend more time focusing on my health and well-being and that of my husband. Maybe in reverse order, because he just spent the last 6 months focusing on me while my professional life was a bit hectic.

 

[Mrs Mitchell]

Chill out more, do only what''s absolutely necessary, relax. Work smarter, not harder, procrastinate less so as to have more time to enjoy. I might tidy up a little. Or maybe not, until it is absolutely necessary.

Do you have an action plan for the working out? I alway have the BEST intentions but no follow through...

 

[sunnyd]

Ahhh resolutions. I never make them because I won''t follow through, but here goes anyway!

DH and I WILL motivate each other to get in better shape. We''re in pretty good condition, but one can always improve!

His dad had a heart attack last summer that nearly killed him, his uncle has had one, his grandpa had two, the second of which did kill him, and pretty much all of his great uncles died of HAs.

DH is basically awaiting his turn in 30 years, so we''re gonna make that heart strong as can be for when the time comes! And, well, I just have bad genes for being lazy and fat.

Stop grocery shopping like my parents are gone for the weekend.

Get my butt to a gym.

Umm, I''m just going to steal these.


Actually New Years is coming at a time when I''m just generally more motivated - I''m itching to get into the gym, get out on the field, just go and do something. I''m at the end of my month-long break from Ultimate (the only break scheduled all year), and I''m getting antsy to just freaking DO something again. So I think BF and I are joining the Y this week (either today or Saturday), and then Ultimate starts up on the 12th. Thank goodness.

 

[nytemist]

Normally I don''t make any, but this year feels very different to me. I''ve been feeling like I''m on the verge of better things and have to just kick myself in the butt to get going. I have to find a new job, get back into the gym (stopped last year since I couldn''t afford it anymore) cut back on drinking for handling stress, see my friends more, make some progress in this broken marriage or end it, save more money, go to hypnotherapy for my fear of flying and learn how to cook more things. I''m usually guilty of making tofu stir-fry, giant salads, soba noodles, salmon in white wine/garlic and steak tips. All. the. time. Starting to bore myself.

 

[Tacori E-ring]

Make more time for myself

floss (make this one every year and fail every year)

Start going back to the gym (I was doing so well and fell off the wagon)

Eat healthier

Go to bed earlier
