So, what are your New Year's Resolutions?


I usually say every year that my resolution is to never make new year's resolutions.  :D ;D ;D  However, this year, I do have a few:

(Can't be stop smoking because I already did that.)
-Lose the weight I have gained in the last 2 months.
-Get this house in shape-i.e. clean out the clutter (which drives Carlos up the wall), paint, have the bathroom redone, etc. etc.
-Add to my coin collection.  ;D ;D ;D


I'm sure I will come up with more.

Loss 100 pounds and declutter my house, it needs it badly.

Mine is easy - To win one major grand prize in the state lottery...  It is one I can keep to the end of the year for sure.  I did this last year and haven't broken it yet.

Lose more weight
Get a better paying job
Go back to school
Clean/organize and get this house in order

The usual... Lose weight (the number of pounds has unfortunately increased over the years)
                Keeping the house cleaned (really cleaned) once I get it done this weekend

This year's additions:
  Be a better daughter to my parents, help them out more in ways that I can (since I can't financially), keep on top of the medical stuff, help Mom more with the technology stuff
  Find a boyfriend?  (question mark since I don't know if this a good time or not)

-Get a better, higher paying "real" job (which I'm looking for at the moment)
-Save up a decent amount of money
-Go back to school and finish my degree (I'm not too far creditwise), or at least get closer
-If things work out that way, take a cross country trip this Summer
-Related to the above one, to prepare to eventually move out to Pennsylvania around Summer '09 (what a great way to close out the Zeroes). :)

♦ Get my teeth fixed (finally!)
♦ Lose a couple of LBs

OK- lose some weight
Have more patience with my daughter
Spend money wisely

What are those?! I don't make them, that way I don't feel bad when I fail.

♦ Get my teeth fixed (finally!)
♦ Lose a couple of LBs


Funny you say that (in a good way), because I just got braces put on a few weeks ago myself. See I've had a bit of an overbite since I was 9 or so, and always wanted to fix it, but only went through with it recently. Especially since I'm into acting and performing, it's something I'm looking forward to, lol.

I guess that's another resolution I've already started. They'll be on for about two years, but I've gotten entirely used to it already.



As a general note, it's amazing how being in love with someone can inspire you to do things to much more than you ever were before. I guess because you're literally caring and providing about another life besides your own. :)

1. Exercise
2. Workout
3. Have a flat tummy by summer vacation
4. Be more disicplined about spending money frivilously
5. Eat healthier
6. Have a phenomenal season playing softball
7. Take Lady Di to an Aerosmith concert
8. Try to get more sleep
9. Continue to spend as much time possible postwhoring at inthe00s

Full Time Job
Travel More
better money
stronger relationship with girlfriend.

My resolution is to not make one.
Actually, I want to have a better year than I did this past one.

continue working towards getting away from my mom


added conutinue working twords arcade champion 

Go To Beauty School to get some kind of certificate because being a security guard is not doing me any good. I really want to be a  make-up artist. Its something I want to try and succeed at.
Stop Biting my Nails
Join a group where I can meet some people.
Don;t get addicted to the internet like I have been for the past year.
Get out of the house more than I have been for the past year.

continue walking but also do it more regularly (funny how those of us who spend the most time here all want to lose weight...  hmmm)
control my eating
do something creative
Stay better connected with my real world friends...
get control of my spending
and get a friggin washer and dryer so my clothes don't pile up...which would be easy if my landlord would resolve to finish building the laundry shed!  >:(

to walk more
a full time job(*crosses fingers*)
to make more friends

I noticed that, too. I could make the excuse that I didn't need to lose weight 3 months ago-in fact, I think I needed to gain a bit-but now, I feel that I gained TOO much. I just can't win.  ::)




Cat

to not procrastinate
work on full time
to eat less Burger King

I really don't make resolutions for New Year's. I only wish for another year of good health and happiness.  :)

The only real resolution for the year is to become more outgoing. I know that it's a gradual thing, so it could take more than just a year to become how I want to be.  :-\\ (But it's for the better!)

You wouldn't know it if you only know me via the internet, but I'm very shy and introverted. So yeah, that's something to work on in 2008 and into 2009.

to not procrastinate
I need to work on that too...



..starting tomorrow...

My resolution for the new year?  2560x1600.

/nerd
//deal with it :)

I laughed. ;D

I already wrote something about mine on my blog. Another one that I neglected to write down is that I'm going to stop taking crap from people and stand up for myself more.

Several years ago, I told my dad that my New Year's Resolution was to become a real bitch. He just laughed and said, "You will never make it."  I THINK that was a complement.  :-\\

It's time for me to do some of that too. 

to stand up to my girlfriend whenever she pushes me around.
to make more money
to walk more and bus less.

Eat M&M's and gain 100 pounds while playing video games and shutting myself off from the world.  Is that a good one?

Then I say GREAT RESOLUTIONS....CAN I COME OVER?


Funny thing is, I actually have a bag in the closet.  ;D

I'm feeling kind of glad that I did not make any resolutions.

I would like to start going to the gym three times a week (or sub in some other exercise)
lose some weight
keep on top of the housework
be more organised
work together as a family to help everyone keep their tempers

I could have some help now when my first year comes up in a few months? :)

Time to revisit this thread. Did you keep any of your resolutions from last year?

Yup-this years resolutions look very much like last year.  :-\\

You can do it, Erin.  Trust me, it is scary as hell but it is so worth it to be able to say you did it.  Plus, it really helps with the self esteem to know that you can do it on your own if you need to. :)
