New Year's resolutions for 2007

Get fit. Become assimilated. Be more polite. Evolve from ESTJ to INFP. Masturbate less. Ski more. Read more. Get professionally certified. Not sure if any of those are mutually exclusive.

Take up snowboarding, you'll have two hands free.

less is more, eh? Never thought about that. Oh well, there goes one resolution already.

The usual, all of which will be long forgotten by the end of the first week back at work.

I started a little early. I'm now seeing a personal trainer twice a week and doing yoga once a week.

I will not spit from the Olympiaturm.
I will not push little old ladies in front of trains.
I will not wear an orange dress to funerals.

I believe in making life easy for myself.

good for you! no reason to wait until jan. 1.

i think my resolutions are the same as always - get fit and stay healthy, etc. i managed to go the gym twice last week and I'll go tonight, but i just love to eat! bf & i just enjoy cooking together. but my goal for 2007 is to learn how to cook (better). we've got 4 new cookbooks...

I'm under doctor's order to lose 20kg. Ok he said 30 but I reckon thats being ridiculous. So thats my main resolution. Other than that actually achieve something work-wise.

Okay,
I have them categorized...

Professional:
Get a better job (hopefully in Munich).
Pass some professional exams

Social:
Dress Smarter
Expand my guitar repetoire.
Listen to more books (thanks to ipod, it should be easier).

why don't you read instead?

No one reads anymore, Elf. We have robots for that.

Fair question.
The library across the street from my workplace in Chicago has a very large selection of books on cd (I think they boast the largest in the USA). I dowload the disks on my ipod.
This allows me to listen to something when I workout/run. And when I am on the train to and from work (the train is so crowded in the morning-it is impossible to hold up any book- let alone find a seat).

The ipod allows me to do two things at once. I admit, that actually reading from a book would be nicer. But I honestly don't have much time to do that. The ipod might be a poor substitute, but better than nothing I guess.

1. Lose 20 pounds by exercising more every day and getting back on Weight Watchers.
2. Quit smoking by June 2007.
3. Learn to play guitar. (I've promised myself a nice acoustic as incentive when I get down to my target weight!)
4. Spend more time with my son.
5. Get to some TT meetups so I can meet some nice, new people!

Host a wine tasting
Go skiing again
Standard career advancement
Smile at three people a day
Read at least one good book a month
...

Actually, I hadn't even thought of it until this thread came up.

Renew the professional certifications.
Get better at free climbing, move on cliff hanger stuff and maybe to lead climbing.
Continue with my daily workout schedule.
Hope to join into more TT events to have fun time with other TT people, i.e. curry nights...

1. Bring peace to the Middle East
2. Find a way to deal with all those Weapons of Mass Destruction around the World
3. Invent that machine which generates food, so no one needs to die from hunger anymore
4. Calm people down after they begin to grasp what immortality means to our pension systems
5. One week without reading other peoples' thoughts

Stop wearing lace bra's...apparantly it's not manly.

decide what I want to be when I grow up.

Maybe back to Uni full time, or a new job in a new country.

stop getting myself so worked up about things like my stupid job and the idiots I work with.

stop the binge drinking, may cause me too look for new friends, but being sloshed everyweekend is getting nasty on the wallet.

be nicer to myself!!!

I have promised myself to earn a living again.

Oh, I suppose I might consider what I want to be when I grow up, and finally register for the courses I've been wanting to take

Baloney- your friends are your friends, your drinking buddies may not be amongst them though, or might.
However - you can be your friend's designated driver!

WooHoo! Get to drive the yellow bug mobile!

My two main ones are:

1. quit smoking by my 42nd birthday (March)
2. go to the gym
3. make it to a TT night

I have some other little ones but they aren't so important.

To start paying my taxes, and finish a degree.

still working on them (there is time, you know...) but here goes:

- get up early
- go to bed early enough to be able to get up early
- drink less
- smoke less
- eat healthier
- call my parents before they call me ("are you still alive?")
- be a good person
- do not insult those who are begging for it (Jesus-like)
- clean bath-room
- feed pet
- learn to do something cool and arty like, well, play the piano
- get out more (in terms of fresh air, not pubs)
- go out less (in terms of pubs)
- be nicer
- shave
- thing

to be continued... there's days left... jeez, looks like last year's list, though

To have a better life in the year 2007, now that I have it back
To get out and meet more people
stay away from dogs with sharp teeth
try the skiing in Austria for the first time(if the snow falls)
give up the redwine (not)

If my heart can become pure and simple, like that of a child, I think there probably can be no greater happiness than this

Have a Happy New Year everyone!

Uhm, well ...

Eat healthier, exercise more, tidy up more, cook more often, find a more satisfying and secure job so that I can afford to go home for the holidays and get a German driver's license.

My resolutions for 2007: All the same ones as for 2006 (which I didn't manage to keep), plus one more: Learn to put things away where I can find them when I need them.

Now, where did I put my list of resolutions for 2006?

Drink more

I resolve to make no resolutions. Uh..DOH!

Drink more - I am a real prude lately!

If any of you are too motivated for your New Year's resolutions,
take a look at some of these hilarious pictures from despair.com

Their demotivating slogans are quite the reality check.
