~x* Resolutions *x~
 

I feel like making them this year. Anyone else dare to commit them to writing???

I've made several resolutions and commitments in the last few weeks, although I'm not so sure I want to share them. :D Regardless, I'm starting out this new year in a situation 99.9% different than my life this time last year, and there are some changes I've made and am making to ensure that 2006 (and beyond) is even better than the blessings I've received the past 12 months.

I will committ to nothing in writing :p

OK, I'll do eet! I resolve to start my sit-up/push-up regimen & I resolve to start apartment hunting again.

I'm going to be healthier this year, and lose some weight. Watching my mom (who's been visiting) has scared the living shit out of me...and made me realize that my family does *not* age well without intervention.

I'm going to find a new job, one which makes me happy. Where people don't think it's fun to put each other down, but instead respect their coworkers thoughts and abilities. One where I don't have to travel 15 hours/week to get there.

I'm going to find a hobby for myself (other than Pixies). Something physical and fun, and hopefully something I can do with friends. For the past 3 years I've had no hobbies (and no time for them) other than reading and Pixies. That needs to change -- for my own well-being.

I think more than three are tough. So there's my 3.

Lil -- what're yours?

Mine have been whirling in my head... and I'm okay with putting them in writing....

1. A new lifestyle of eating, not a diet, but a life long commitment to eating appropriately and hopefully a significant weight loss will come with this.... I took the plunge and signed up for Weight Watchers online today... no excuses now.

2. Getting over whatever is plaguing my self-confidence. I've come to terms with therapy as an option for resolving this... and have started talking more with those close to me to try to figure it out.

3. Discovering my sensual, flirtatious, fun loving self. I think this will feel more natural after #2 is dealt with - but I'm prepared to make a conscious effort toward it.

In a nutshell I found myself very unhappy in the past couple of months and took a hard look at what the sources of my unhappiness are. I've read up and think I know how to tackle most of it... and where I can't handle it alone, I'm ready to reach out... These are leaps and bounds strides for me.

I think I'll promise to get over my shy and unassuming nature and do some posting here at Pixies. I know, that'll come as a shock, but, hey, nothing ventured, nothing gained. :)

If you aren't committed, you probably should be.

I'm not making any cause I never keep them. I do better at keeping them when I make them out of the blue.

I've already got the new job lined up, hubby got the promotion already so now I just want to be the best person I can be and to continue loosing some weight so I can be healthy enough to raise my baby girl.

Osuche ~

1. I resolve to say no more often instead of trying to be everything for everyone.

2. I resolve to make a serious effort to lose weight by eating foods that are better for my body, all the while keeping better track of my diabetes, in order to ensure a longer life.

3. I resolve to treat myself to some sort of pampering once a month in an effort to be happier and to redice stress.

I resolve to be nice to Steph. :D

I will be nice to Steph. :) ……………… I WILL be nice to Steph. I should always be nice to Steph. I can be nice to Steph. I’ll try to be nice to Steph. I’ll be nice to Steph all the time. I can be nice to Steph sometimes. I will be nice to Steph sometime. I’ll be nice to Steph …………….. later. I’m sure there’ll be a time I can be nice to Steph.


:rolleyes:










Hell with it!







Nup! No resolutions here.

I will resolve to say "shaddup" to PF more often!

I some how think #1 will be the hardest for you, but I have *seen* you be a very determined lady...and I have no doubt you can accomplish what you put your mind to.

If you ever want a coach and/or person to help you track progress...I'm here if you want me.

((((Lil)))) ~~ to a happy and healthy New Year for us both.

Nope.

To say a lie is bad, to write one is stupid.

I'll just plod along as usual.

For those of you who know me, you understand the conundrum in this. One of my most difficult resolutions is to say what I'm feeling.

I will remember that it's ok to put me first sometimes, because being a healthy and happy daddy/husband/man is important to those that love me too.

My one and only resolution in .......ooh, must be ten years..... is already five days old ~ to give up the Dreaded Weed.

It's now FIVE days since I had a cigarette.

DM

Grats! 5 healthier days!

Good for you !!!!!

For me - lose this beer gut and get my cholesterol under control before it kills me!

Way to go dm!!

Stick with it man.

I have no resolutions. I'm just working on things I was already working on.

Mainly: Be the best Dad I can be.

OK! Here goes. I resolve to lose about a million pounds by eating sensibly and stepping my exercize back up to where I was about a year and a half ago. I'm hoping to get healthier and improve my sexual capacity. Don't all laugh at once. I really mean it!

31 days now.........exactly ONE month!!

(Not that I'm counting or anything, you understand ;) )

DM

Congrats!!! Making it through the first is the hardest! Can't wait to celebrate your 6 month mark!!!

Great job DM. I hope this accomplishment has brought with it a sense of success to carry forward.

Well mine are pretty easy

#1 Get my C.D.L. D.L. renewed ( been out since 7-6-05 have tickets out :)) to get back on the road

#2 Lose the 50lbs to get to my ideal weight ( lost 5lbs already)

That's it not much

dm383,

Congratulations sir. The effort is well worth the results. Keep your guard up!

dm,

I've been off them now for 19 years, shitloads better for being off them, and still afraid that a

celebratory cigar could put me back on the things.

Woohoo, DM! I bow down to your willpower!!!

Thanks for the support everybody..... it all helps y'know!



Dunno 'bout THAT Steph, but if you wanna bow down just over here............





















........ oh well, it was worth a try! ;)

DM

Excellent news DM! Keep up the good work and keep us posted!
