no offense but new year's resolution is an american superstition phenomenon that should've been rid of a long time ago. it is lame and it does not work.

Its not a superstition. Its a tradition.

I personally don't make New Year's resolutions, because I find it is more effective to make changes because they need to be made and because I am ready to make the effort rather than just because it is a new year. After all, every day is a new day, so change can happen anytime. JMO.

I agree. It's all about going with the flow because things happens when you don't expect it. You just got to improvise and hope for the best as well.

it's a superstitious tradition. as if people actually believe it works.

This year my resolution is to not make any resolutions.

jillio

No, its not. It is not based on superstition, but on the concepts of a new year being a new beginning, and therefore a time to initiate change. Not because people believe that a resolution made for New Year's will magically come true just because it was made on New Year's. Throwing spilled salt over your shoulder is an action based on superstition. Making a resolution on New Years is a tradition. It si not done because of a superstious belief that it will come true, but because the new year is a new beginning.

Its like having a cake for yor birthday. Tradition based on the specific time of year.

There are certain areas of the U.S. where certain foods are traditionally eaten on New Year's day. In Ohio it is pork and sauerkraut, in the South it is black-eyed peas. Now that is a tradition based on superstition, the superstition being that eating these foods will bring good luck in the year to come. That is an example of a tradition based on superstition. Howeve, making a resolution does not fall intothis category, because there is no bad consequence believed to happen of one doesn't make the resolution.

I don't make resolutions, but they are a good idea if you want to change.

For 2008 I think about running a marathon. Some days I run 10 miles, but I am slow and a marathon is 26.2 miles. Probably this is too much work and time, but who knows? New goals are good, New Year's or other times.

Stop eating dinner and drink smoothies instead, continue my exercise routine that I started a month ago, and lower my debt some more.

Do you wear HAs or have a CI? What I plan on doing is to turn on the dance music channel and turn the volume on so I can dance to it. Just danced to it for 45 mins. My legs are shaking now...LOL! I will make a goal to do that for at least 30 mins 5 times a week. When I used to go clubbing every weekend with my friends from Gallaudet, I lost so much wieight. Maybe u can do that but if no HAs or CIs, then maybe buy 3 boom box and boom the hell out of your place. LOL!

Yes, I wear HAs.
*chuckles* Not a bad idea but I imagine my cat cringing in hiding if I dare put it up full volume and then mum would like me to buy her a pair of HAs for deafening her, lol.

Truthfully, that's not a bad idea. This is something I probably could do since skipping rope's out for me. I wonder if there's a dance exercise DVD out there?

I remember having skipped quite alot in a week and lost some weight. I reckon it's a good incentive for kids to do some skipping coz it's fun and helps them lose some weights without much effort.

Let me know how you went with your dirty dancing
