Whats your New Years Resolution? Not anxiety related!

[briteyes1002]

Hey all! I was just wondering what your New Years Resolution was- that did not have to do with anxiety.

Here is mine- I want to learn to play guitar, train for a tri athalon and be more positive.

How about you?

Mine is to make it back to the gym and to quit smoking. I've quit numerous times but recently started back up again. I must say, that I am a bit more determined to quit this time around! I plan on going cold turkey so we'll see how that goes!

[briteyes1002]

Smoking is a great one. I know this is not the best solutions- but have you tried on of those "vapor cigs"? The ones that are not a real cig but are battery operated? My step mom used one and says it helped her stop smoking- she is going on two months now.

I wish you the best of luck!

Mine is definitely to get back to the gym. I quit a couple of months ago when I tweaked my back and basically got lazy and have only been back once or twice. Up to the point I stopped going I had dropped 32 pounds...I have since gained back 5...time to shake those off and a few other pounds as well....lol.....good to luck to everyone with their resolutions this year

Someone else mentioned the vapor cig to me as well. I will keep that in mind especially because I tend to want to smoke when I go out for a drink. Although, I haven't really been consuming alcohol since my anxiety flared up!

Briteyes, you said learn guitar....great, it's fun:) I taught myself a few years ago...I play all the time. It's great for taking your mind away from all things, for a bit:) Be patient...especially with the "F" chord (or any barre chord:)...you'll see what I mean soon enough:)

Well, for me... a resolution would be to be a better husband:) I know, it's pretty broad and maybe trite...but there is room for improvement. I got married later in life at 40 (after being a SERIOUS bachelor:) and now, almost 5 years later, I'm still learning the intricacies of sharing my life with my beautiful wife:) Aside from that, I need to finally build that screen room I've been "meaning to get to" for the past 2 full years:). That in itself would go A LONG WAY to me being a "better" husband in my wife's eyes, I'm sure:) She REALLY wants the screen room! And I'm learning the ways a wife can let you know what she wants...some subtle and others NOT so subtle. Like, "Will you just go ahead and build that fu@#*#* room already...I'm so tired of hearing about your "plans" to build it":) She said with LOVE, of course:)

Hoping you the best, mjd30, in your quest to stop smoking. There are plenty on this Forum who have done it or are going through that now...just ask for advise and support and you'll get much, I'm sure:)

The GYM pffttttttt.........I can never stay with it because of the snow, freezing cold conditions here I just never want to leave the house.........

I have lost like hmmm...15 lbs so my goal is to loose another 3lbs and I will be happy

[briteyes1002]

Floridaguy- Well maybe you should have not have told us women on the site that your poor wife has been waiting for her screen room for two years now. I will be on her side and make sure I ask you evert few weeks how far you have some on building that room. Shame on your for making her wait- ha ha :)

I have picked up the guitar before in the past but just seem to always sit it down to never pick it up again. Did you use web-sites to teach yourself? What was the easiest way to learn?

Do you have one of those FIT TV channels? I use them in the morning and at night on days I can not get to the gym. They have some really good programs.

Good luck with this. I think its a fantastic goal and something you will achieve.

I do not make New Years resolutions. First off, they always fall through. Second, why pick one year to make changes in your life that are positive. That should be an everyday thing. Always strive for perfection as if it is attainable.

[mellabella]

I don't normally make them, but I think I will this year. I want to get more dedicated to playing the piano. I'm starting small this year. :)

[kes2010]

I want more dedication to do ANYTHING. LOL But I know as soon as I resolve to do so in the coming year I willnot succeed. SO therefore I choose to live in the moment and let the chips fall where they may. It's a new thing for me, but I'm working on it. LOL

[angrry]

I normally don't make resolutions either kes...but this year I need to...I'm hoping it gives me the push I need to get back to the gym and a healthy lifestyle that doesn't involve worrying my life away

[teeps]

mine is to be more organised and stop putting things off.

[mellabella]

Thats a good one teeps. I may steal that one from you and add it to my piano playing. (I tried to post this once already but my comp crashed, lol)

[Tommy071]

My resolution is to progress with my recovery, make new friends and live more.

[texcan85]

I need to lose my baby weight. I want to lose about 30lbs but to do that I really need to cut back on my sugar intake and that may be tough LOL

[briteyes1002]

Tex- I have heard so many people say they have lost a lot of weight from cutting down on Sugar. My uncle lost over 30 lbs in a few months just by cutting soda out of his every day diet.

Good look to everyone. Its so nice to see everyone have positive thoughts for 2011.

Yeah, I have heard the same thing! 
 
That sugar is like poison, too much of it (like in sodas) isn't good for ya. But a little is fine. And trying drinking some water instead, totally better.
