So who's doin' New Year's Resolutions?

[Uncle Remus]

And what are they?

I'm lookin' for suggestions. :teeth:

[jlewisinsyr]

Last year my partner and I did a pre-New Years resolution and lost a lot of weight (me more then him, but I needed to lose more). This year will be to just continue on the progress.

[Uncle Remus]

A few years ago, I decided I didn't have to have things 'just so,' that if some things were disorganized or not in it's place, life would still be good.
I'm re-thinkin' that one now.

Then again, there is still only 24 hours in a day, right? :rotfl:

Congratulations 'n best wishes to your continued success. :thumbsup2

Where would he lose weight from? Get a haircut maybe? :lmao:

Just don't use that one again. You guys are great sizes now, but if you lose any more weight you'll have that wispy, under-fed look :rotfl:

I on the other hand, am planning on trying to lose some weight. I've been a 34" waist since high school, and it's about time to get rid of it!

HAHA...we hide it well.

I was 225 before I started watching what I eat, working out, etc. I am now 175. I want to be 155 - 160 when all is said and done. If I meet my goal, I'm getting ink down both sides of my ribs that will taper down into my groin area.

My resolution this year, as it is every year, is to lose a lot of weight. This year another resolution is to start going out more often (some people have a hard time coming out, I'm still working on going out.) That might be easy for some, but for me not so much. At any rate, as my father used to say, if you're going to reach for the stars, reach for the lowest one you can find.

[Timrobb]

My goal is to make more alone time for just my DP and me. Since our dd came into our lives three years ago, we haven't found a lot of just "us" time. I cannot remember the last time we went to the city for dinner and a show (and we used to go two/three times a month pre DD). I think it is important for our relationship to have more "alone" time so we will stay the cool parents that we are :lmao: !!

Of course I would like to lose 10 pounds also :rotfl: !! Especially after the last two days of NON STOP EATING!!!!!!!!!

[zulemara]

DBF and I are giving up smoking cloves. We are not addicted(I can go 2 weeks no problem without one) but I still don't like the idea of smoking. After new years, no more!

He already lost weight and is doing well. I would like to start a resolution of making a workout routine.

[glenpreece]

I want to get out more and do stuff, stop being such a homebody. I'd also like to stop being so shy and put myself out there more.

[rosiep]

I'd like to be more purposeful this year.
After spending many years raising my children (and thinking it to be a most worthy endeavor), I find that except for being a good human being in general, I don't feel as if I am contributing anything worthwhile.

I need to find a volunteer position. Preferably working with teen Moms or the like.

Yup, I need to volunteer.....

[lttlmc3]

My resolutions are to pay off credit cards and to rid my house of clutter. It's amazing how it all adds up!

[wallyb]

Back on the diet and gym pony!

Curse you mom and all the Christmas goodies! :mad:

[hematite153]

I've never done resolutions before, but, I'm thinking about it. I'll let you know if I decide on something.

[zeitzeuge]

I try not to make specific resolutions to start on a specific day (day after new years) because I always fail and then I'm disappointed with myself. So usually I make general promises to myself to "get healtier" or something along those lines. A general promise to myself. That way I try not to beat myself up for not making my goal if that happens.

If I had to be specific, I'd say to quit smoking when I'm drinking. Oh, and stop charging on my credit cards.....

Your credit cards will be sad if you stop using them. :guilty:

If you typically drink in a bar then in April you will get a big boost with not smoking since the city passed that new ordinance! If you drink and smoke at home I guess you are on your own! :rotfl2:

I am not big on resolutions because I never stick to them. I do need to lose weight. DS got a Wii Fit for Christmas and it is kind of fun, but I can't see myself dropping a bunch of weight just using the Fit. I don't even know how to turn it on by myself. I guess if I plan to use it in the morning before work I will have to master turning it on and off first. ;)

All I have to say is I been fighting not to say naughty things

Yeah, but, you were trapped in a suitcase, so, it's not really a good sample.

I stayed out of trouble yesterday didn't I??????

[hematite153]

Wasn't yesterday the day you asked if you could get new points for something bad you did on an old thread and said that you didn't need to worry about being good for Santa for a whole year?

[rosiep]

That wasn't me..that was my evil twin: Posiep

[hematite153]

Sure....

Would I lie to you?....

(oh, I would ...never mind)

Continuation of good things here...
We have both lost quite a bit of weight, and I need to continue (the wife has reached her goal, as she was lighter than I to begin with) and will do so. Managed the minefield of Christmas goodies pretty well.

As for the other continuation, it's the intent to continue on the road to political activism for our community. Increase the efforts, that is. Participate in actions, get involved, make sure that we are not inadvertently supporting anti-gay businesses, etc... that sort of thing.

Become more aware of our actions in the world... sounds too lofty and snooty, but I don't know how else to describe it. :teeth:

So, not true "new" resolutions but building on the foundation of what we've already started.

Oh, and try not to laugh quite so hard at the antics of Rosie and WallyB. ;)

That, my dear, sounds like a challenge....:rolleyes1

I am not prone to making new year's resolutions. I am at a point in my life where a lot of things need to change. I hope that my health behaves better this year. I am hoping to get on the gastric bypass track and that is going to require a lot of lifestyle changes and money. My insurance doesn't cover it at all. :sad2:

So, I guess the number one thing that is going to have to change is less time on the internet. Oh, and this should make Mike happy.....less time on the internet will be easier because I am going to fly by the seat of my pants in April when I come to WDW. :upsidedow Being that my job is one where I mostly sit on my behind and my favorite hobby, the internet, is one where I mostly sit on my behind, well, my behind has gotten huge(r). I need to walk/swim some of my behind off.

There you have it. A plan to not be online as much and lose some weight, so that I am not dead before I make it to 50.
