This goal was successfully made :)

My new goal will be quitting smoking and vaporing with the electronic cigarette instead.

Would you mind explaining what you mean by finding your real home?

Sorry that I haven't answer your question for a very long time, well it's long story, but I am going to summarize it. My parents take control over my money that I got from the motorcycle accident when I was 4 years old and struggling to accept to cooperate with my parents and live in a ugly 70's mobile home on a lot where my parents want to invest it which I don't want to buy to invest, I just want a home that I can stay.

But we already solved the problem, they returned the money to me and I bought another house and are proudly of my house today :)

well for one i am going to try to work god into my daily routine, and finally its dawned on me, download a daily podcast each night whilst charging the ipod up then listen to it first thing in the morning at work along with my music. Hey you gotta start somewhere. I think if i put god first, everything else will start falling into place for me.

As for other resolutions - trying to eat healthier, no major diet over hauls, but just generally trying to work healthier snacks into my diet.

I hope everyone here had a wonderful christmas and wish everyone the best for 2008!!

New Years Resolutions..

I'm glad I quit smoking and drinking I feel much great and t hankful for God's trust and faith in me !
 
I broke the one I made last year (be the first person on earth to take the food pyramid seriously) but I'm going to make sure that I don't break this year's. I'm resoluting (prob. not a word) to sleep 11 hours a night.

Gotta make sure I get enough sleep.

:eek3: 11 hours! Wow, that is alot of sleep! They say most poeple only need 8 or 9 hours a night.
 
Well since this thread is from a year ago originally, perhaps since we have reference point, those who posted last year could state what their 2008 successes were and what their 2009 plans are.

I'll start:
Well God is still in a box so to speak, although I did give him more of my attention. I lost 60 pounds (I currently weigh 132 pounds) I got a new truck in May, went on a road trip to Texas and back in June, then I started Uni in August despite my health scare.

2008 truly was great, and it will go down as one of the most memorable years of my life.

2009 seems very scary for me, especialy with the closure of my company and the scarcity of jobs currently available. If I can get a full-time job I'll be OK, but for now I cannot quit my current job until I have another one firmly in place. I was hoping to get on at the other poultry plant, but the crappy weather messed that up.

My plans for 2009 are to find stable employment, lose another 20-30 pounds (Im obsessed with getting rid of my thunder thighs)
 
once i get a hand drum, ill be practicing as long it takes
good thing im hard of hearing,
but more is feeling the drum in my heart
when snow start to melt
ill be walking out my door
and start on my new journey
seeing my families up north, seeing my twin nieces,
seeing my friends down south, then head to east
keep on walking helping people much as i can
try to be there for them much as i can

Me, too. I am overweight... and I am 5'6" tall. I am working on exercising more and eat a lot of healthy foods, like salads, vegetables and fruits, for instance. Hey, can I join you, Botti? :giggle: :)

I remember last fall, I slept 16 hours because I was dead tired when I got back from a cruise trip and then, next day, I went to see my PCP because I complained that I was SO tired for a week... and that my thyroid glands were sore and swollen. They examined and sent me to the Endocrinologist immediately and so, the rest of the story as I said earlier in my Introduce Myself post. I never slept 16 hours before in my life. :eek: (Poor my family all were worried about my whereabouts!!!) I only sleep between 7-8 hours a night.
 
~ Pass my ACT on Feburary 7th (wish me luck!)
~ Keep up with my work out and hopefully return to my healthy weight (around 160 LBS)
~ Get into Auburn University of Montgomery next Fall
~ Get a job
~ Get a driver's license


And so on forth.

I normally don't make New Year's Resolutions but for some reason, I feel like I could achieve them all so here they are! :)
 
I don't believe in making New Year's Resolutions because it stresses me out. If I'm actually thinking about resolutions then I may as well do it now that's if I'm ready for it. I'll do it when I'm good and ready. :hmm:

For me, continue with my new exercise routine and dont eat dinner anymore. :giggle:

I did stick with my exercise routine so I kept it. As for not eating dinner...got too hungry so I just stop eating after 7 PM. Many people said I look a lot thinner..I feel it too. :)


This year, because of our economic woes, I am gonna try to limit my spending to things I really need and try to pay off my debt some more.

Also, continue with my exercise routine.

Ditto on that! I don't believe in putting "false promises" on myself and then stressing on it because I set myself up for failure.

I believe in daily goals, setting up short-term goals and achieve those. It's very important to feel very goal-oriented and accomplished rather than feel like a failure because you set yourself up for an impossible task.
 
Nothing wrong with setting realistic goals.

Setting unrealistic resolutions is setting yourself up for failure.
