With the new year coming up in just 4 days I figured that you guys/gals have your 2010 resolution thought out and planned out? Anyone doing anything that's life changing?


I'd just like to wish any of our smokers the best of luck with quitting. Smoking is a really tough thing to kick and I have a lot of respect for those that do quit after smoking for quite some time, so to those attempting, I wish you the best of luck and YOU CAN DO IT. You may suffer for a week or so, but after that's done you're home free and you wont have to smoke those cancer sticks anymore! Think about how much healthier you'll be? Think about how much money you'll save!!! I don't smoke but have helped a lot of people quit, and although you may not think that your support will help someone in need, but your help will actually do a lot to motivate someone to keep going and to quit once and for all. YOU CAN DO IT!!!

Same goes to those who have other addictions or problems that can affect your life/health. It just takes a bit of suffering in the beginning and then you're set!


I'm going to start riding my bike and going to the gym 5 days a week! This is going to be quite a feat since my back has gotten as bad as it currently is, but I'm going to fight it and go against the odds. I want to strengthen my back and be able to do the things I used to be able to do without debilitating pain.


What are you guys planning for the new year? Whatever it may be, I wish you the best of luck and always remember that you'll have people here to support you through your journey. When you hit a wall, post here and we'll give you support and motivation to go on!


Good luck everyone, reach for the stars and you will touch them!

To not drink so much coffee...

 

make da monies

 

I remember when I stopped drinking energy drinks, as well as ALL caffeinated drinks all together (no soda or anything) and I lost a good 10lbs of fat which was great, and I felt better all around. I just stopped one day out of the blue and haven't craved any at all, and the best part is that Im saving a ton of money considering that each energy drink is at least $3 a day, and thats if I only drink one... That adds up big time, and for some drink? Screw that, if I really need caffeine I'll take a caffeine pill which is MUCH better for you.

 

Get to my goal weight of 165 (I'm at about 178, dropped 20 since August). Straighten out my career for good. "Get money, get paid." Need to put money away for a rainy day. Then, I don't know, yell at my mom less. The weight loss and the "get my sh*t together" thing are the biggest challenges. I just hope I come through with them. They've haunted me for years.

 

You can do it man, the weight issue will help you with the latter issue and give you more energy as well as more self esteem, so get the first goal squared away and focus on the latter as a life long goal! You only get one life man, use it wisely.

 

Complete P90X (xmas present)

Hike Half Dome before my birfday (July)

Ride my bike more often

 

Wear my retainers everyday for at least 12 hours.

Fit into 32s comfortably and still tuck in a shirt.

Save for some forged wheels and re11s

 

I have a lot of goals for 2010.

First and foremost, save money (which unfortunately doesn't work with my other goals lol).

Lose the beer gut I've acquired over the school year, this will mostly be done by cutting down on my gargantuan coffee intake and meal size.

Finally, appreciate what I have a lot more, which I have been doing a lot lately.

 

Ollie every day of the year.

be nicer to my mom - i called her on the drive back from socal after christmas and my gf was on speakerphone... she said it's bogus i treat my dad/stepmom so much better than my mom. i kind of agree.

700+ GMAT Score - february is much too soon.

 

resolution for me is to get finances in order. setup a larger payment plan for credit cards and get those done with, and save up some money for a europe trip and other fun stuff.

also to lean up a bit.. get down to 180lbs and get my fat % from like 14% to below 10.

 

Drive my subie to Alaska. No really, who want to caravan with me.
