What are your New Years resolutions?

[Woosta]

Mine:

- gain 20-30 lbs ( 6'2 158 atm )
- increase my overall fluency in MMA aspects including striking ( muay thai / kickboxing / boxing ), wrestling/grappling ( get to blue belt BJJ level ). I started training pretty often, I just need to stay consistent now.
- become more social and outgoing ( with women, in particular )
- dress nicer ( mid year 2010 I ditched polos for dress shirts.. not going back to polos unless I start living in FL )
- clean up after myself more often and stop living like a bum sometimes ( lazy when cleaning up food / dishes )
- get to pro level at node.js, mongodb, django, SQL, Haskell
- start my MMA and NSFW pics sites and work on them
- move somewhere, be it California, Florida, or DC, though most likely that won't happen but I will need to move and get out of my current contract.
- continue my eating healthy regimen - nuts/avocados/veggies/fish/chicken/fruits, try out new foods

will be adding more as I think of them...

 

[SandEagle]

lose 15 lbs
save money
be nicer to idiots

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

Continuing the trends I've had going, but with specific goals that I can reach this year

 

[Chaotic42]

-Keep losing weight (I'm down 40lbs in the last four months)
-Don't let work interefere with college again (going back on the 18th)
-Stop wearing t-shirt and jeans to work

The last will be the hardest. I detest kahkis and polo/button shirts. Still, I've had it mentioned to be by just about every manager above me that I've encountered.

 

[Hacp]

Stop being so awesome.

 

[Kaido]

No sugar - one year straight.

 

[fatpat268]

My new years resolution:

Not to make resolutions.

Oops.

 

[nanette1985]

eat more junk food
waste money
be lazier
play more video games and waste more time

this year, some resolutions I can keep!

 

[Pardus]

more hookers and blow.

 

[shortylickens]

I dont make new years resolutions. If it were important you would have done it right away, not waited a whole year.

I have started on my resolutions before new years, though.

right before new years?
cuz thats kinda the same thing. the year winds down, you start thinking of all the shit you did, you coulda done, you wanna do better. your mind is in that zone, so you resolve to do better.

True, but better than waiting til the new years or at least better than doing nothing.

 

[Tristicus]

I don't make retarded resolutions that I won't follow up with.

 

[Sumguy]

- Work out
- Eat healthier (which in my case means to actually eat, 6' 165lbs).

:hmm:

- Wake up before 1PM daily.

All pretty much tie in together so I figure its doable if I care enough.
Any more and it becomes a chore.

 

[Engineer]

Stop being so awesome.

You succeeded at that many years ago.

For me, no resolutions this year. No point.

 

[Woosta]

I guarantee that I will accomplish ALL my resolutions listed by the end of 2011.

 

[rcpratt]

I hate resolutions and refuse to partake in them, but I will list a few things I hope to improve upon. Most of it's drafting off what you guys have already listed.

-Gain about 20 pounds. And then probably lose about 15. That should put me at about July. Then reassess...probably try to put on a bit more muscle. Made a ton of progress this year, but I have some lofty goals in this department.

-Meet some new friends in the area. I moved here in June and still don't know that many. I suck at meeting people. Also in this category, go on some dates and be open enough to actually connect with a girl.

-Cleaning up after myself better is something I've already started working on, but kind of a long ways to go on that one. Hopefully I can train myself to do the dishes before they're piling up in the sink and I have no clean dishes. And to just throw my clothes in the basket instead of on the floor.

-Do well at work in general, hopefully be promoted from Assistant Engineer to Engineer. I'll be surprised if that doesn't happen, they laid out a very straightforward advancement plan and I'm pretty sure I will meet the requirements. Assert myself more with my coworkers.

-$30k in personal savings and $25k in 401k by the end of the year.

Alright.

 

[Woosta]

Alright.

Get at me if I don't.

 

[rcpratt]

Oh, I also want to travel somewhere. Anywhere. Not picky.

[tokie]

- dress nicer (collar etc instead of t-shirts)
- travel abroad for at least 1 month
- work on improving my French and Spanish
- work out on a proper schedule, instead of random gym visits

I WILL COMPLETE THESE. I VOW TO BUMP THIS THREAD 1 YEAR FROM THIS DATE TO CONFIRM MY COMPLETION.

 

[Dominato3r]
