Has anybody actually stuck to New Year's resolutions this year?

[darklinensuit]

I was working out consistently until my accident. I wasn't hurt, but I was really tired & out of sync (yes, more than usual).

As far as eating healthier, forget it.

I don't make resolutions most years, & I've never made any health-related ones before recently. Now I understand what all the fuss & frustration are about.

I've successfully stuck to my previous New Years resolution which is to not get tempted into making anymore new year resolutions. It's the only one I've ever stuck to!

[goldie]

I never make any.....it's too hard to stick to them!!

[DrummerDeanna]

Jake you were in an accident?? Glad you're okay though :)


As for a New Year's resolution...I rarely make them...but last year as my lent thingy (my mom always said you don't really have to give something up, you can also take something positive up, so that's what I do usually) I decided to live a healthier lifestyle (exercise etc...) so I stuck to that and kept with it...and so when the New Year came around I just resolved to stick with it...which I have so far...I've never felt better or been in better shape, and the size I wear now I haven't worn since high school...so I WILL stick with it because I love the way working out makes me feel :) Now...I totally can't master the eating better thing lol...but I'm trying.

I guess that's the lesson I'm learning.

I like your mom's philosophy.

May I blame Houston for the diet thingy? We must be doing something right now that we're the second-fattest city rather than the first.
On the other hand, perhaps it just means Detroit is doing something wrong.

I do plan to work out later today.
And I do plan to eat whatever the hell I feel like, too. (Usually not too too bad.)

The only News Years resolutions I made is not to make any. It's a work in progress baby, and there's no "real" beginning or end. :)

I agree with the work in progress part but I believe there is a beginning and an end.

Jake, I meant that in terms of the calendar year. I don't look at it like oh it's Jan. 1, time to start over again. I just do these types of things all year long. I guess the only "end" will be when I die.

Nope.

I've gotten only one: limit TV watching.

Well then you need to resolve not to & then stick with it, guy.;)

I find that my TV viewing is down.
Thank goodness for the internet.:cool:

I've really never been into making New Years resolutions, seriously, there just another promise to yourself that you end up breaking when you find that there is one more coupon for 2 large two-topping pizzas from Pizza Hut left in the phone book (and you have to use them now, because they expire at the end of February)!

I figure if the time is ever going to come around when I'll actually get off my lazy butt and make myself better...it's not going to end up falling on New Years.

Not to say I'm negative about setting goals, I just think there needs to be some motivation behind someone to power them up to achieve them. Maybe it's just me, but the increment of one more year isn't enough.

I've only stuck to two in my life and these were in more recent years. I found that is easier to tailor my resolutions towards smaller gestures than whopping ones that tried to change the state of me.

I guess it's a little different for me in that the secular new year falls right around the time of my birthday, and these days the birthdays are motivators. Like Stevie says, Pass the Centrum Silver, please.:rolleyes:

Well, Im really trying.

After one month I have eaten healthier, gone to bed earlier, drank less and complained less and I got a new bed. So far so good.

By March I would have gone to Paris ( coming back 3/1) and hopefully lost 10 pounds ( South Beach Diet)

Maybe by summer I'll have a new computer and a savings account ( it's all up to me...)

So not too bad. I'm very optimistic about 2004!

You're hired. Now you can manage my life. See you in Paris.:wavey:

Au revoir - Jake

I'll be off the well-eating wagon tomorrow for Super Bowl Sunday. But Monday I will be back on it again.
