Have you been sticking to your new years resolution?

[youfiad]

I just heard something on Pandora radio in one of the advertisments, "The average person sticks to his/her New Year's resolution for 43 days". I don't know how they got or even if this number is true, but since we are approching the 43 day mark, I thought it to be an apporpriate question to ask you guys!

So, my New Years resolution was to get into great shape for when I go over to Europe I can hopefully have a summer fling with a European guy . So far, I am plesently happy with my current results. I know I still have a lot of work to do, but so far I've been working out as often as I can, (usually 5 days per week), and have maintained a fairly good diet!

I don't even remember what mine was anymore. That's how dedicated I am.

The only resolution I've stuck with completely was (embarrassingly) to carry lip balm around at all times and use it frequently. My lips usually chap and even bleed like crazy in the winter months, but they're soft and smooth now.

I've been less successful at keeping up with my chores, but I'm making headway there.

Been terrible about exercising every morning. I think I exercise LESS than I did before I made the resolution! A bit of that is laziness, but much of it is lousy sleep patterns. I used to go to bed at midnight, up at seven, work until eight, exercise until nine, go to work. Now I go to sleep at midnight, get up at two, finally get back to sleep at five, up at nine, run out the door.

I lasted 3 weeks, the diet went down the drain. Damn you Ben & Jerry !

I wanted to gain weight, practice dance and skating more often, fix my sleeping time and be more social. So far only managed to do the second one

But do you use sunscreen?

[gsdx]

Yup. It's really easy when you don't make any.

[refujiunderground]

can't recall what mine was. all i can say is that i am doing and feeling a whole lot better than last year around this time. even though i'm unemployed, going broke and holed up in the house all day with the exception of a few hours, i would say that i feel like i've made a whole lot of progress in the last two weeks of january than i did last year for the most part. yeah, i came out to my family and there's a lot more coming out to do BUT i feel on a personal note, i'm slowly beginning to be at peace with myself. i would have never imagined the day i can actually feel free to NOT look at the clock or to simply close my curtains or drink tea without my anxiety making me think bad things were going to happen. would also never imagine to popping an anti-depressant either BUT if it's for the better, i'm down. i'm not putting any high expectations for this year anyway. just hope that i can enjoy the year without being bothered by any of the demons which have been haunting me.

I didn't make any hard and fast resolutions so nothing to really break. But NOT spending so much time at the computer is working out OK.

[GiancarloC]

Didn't make any. Except try to get a job in the State Department. But that's been on the table for a while now... still waiting back from them. So far have applied to three different positions. Pay is way better than what I'm getting.

[FPNY]

So far so good, no cigarettes for me since 1/1

[Coward92]

I'm only starting to live up to it now xD

[rareboy]

Congratufuckinglations FPNY.

6 weeks and you are free. That is what I found when I stopped smoking.


yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

Now we have to work on the weight gain.

[FPNY]

I don't need to work on gaining weight, I do it automatically these days.....

[ravenstar]

One of my resolutions was to go outside of Australia's Border's for a holiday this year, and I booked my flights to go visit New Zealand last week, so I'm sticking to that one.

As for the others, I've done bits and pieces but nothing concrete.

[SaskGuy]

I didn't even make one, because I knew I wasn't gonna keep it anyway!

[ronboy]

You mean we're actually supposed to stick with it?

[Stoowii]

*checks pulse* Yes I have.

[JohnJay201212]

My goal is to run the 400meters in 53.0 seconds at around 210lbs.. last summer i did 55.12 at 212lbs. at 6'0 and 212lbs.. Im all natural.

[EuroSoccer]

I don't have one..............actually never had one in my life.

[crimsonpaine]

for better or worse I have been.

[rareboy]

As a matter of fact, I have...so far,

I have decided to exercise and drop the extra weight gained through self-indulgence.

I rarely make resolutions but I did in January of 2012 and I'm still sticking with it. It's kind of dumb but it works for me. I decided to iron my shirts as I take them out of the dryer each week rather than throw them in a pile and iron one as needed. Takes an extra 30 - 40 minutes each week but my closet is always stocked and ready for anything I want to wear. I'm actually surprised that I've stuck with it for 14 months now.
