I don't usually do New Year resolutions so should I start now? I have the same goals year round, year after year as far as fitness goes and that is to stay fit, to be as thin as I possibly can be and still eat cookies and chips. That means I am not as thin as I could be, but that's ok if I can eat cookies. I will just work out a little harder and do those long runs every once in a while with the Running Nazi. I guess if I did have a New Year resolution it would be something like the following:
1) Run faster
2) Bike faster
3) Swim more than just occasionally (at least once a week would be great, but I'm not committing!)
4) Run one or two marathons in a different state so I can count them off my list
5) Eat less cookies and more broccoli or flax seed or anything "healthy"
6) Be nice to ignorant people (Hey, I haven't mentioned any names here, it's just in general)
7) Finish the novel (or start one that I can finish)
8) Buy less shoes and give the money I "save" to homeless cat shelters (or maybe just start a homeless cat shelter of my own. I'm sure the Murph wouldn't mind) ;)
I guess that's enough on the list. I don't really know how long the list should be. I'm sort of new at this "resolution" thing, but those are my goals for the year. I always have goals. Resolution must be just another word for goals, but stronger and more determined for those who need it.
Hmmmmmm.... like me!

that's a good list. i never make new year's resolutions. it seems forced or something. if i want to will myself to make any improvements or changes, i just do it. no waiting til january 1st. i think you're like that as well.
ReplyDeletebut a new year is full of hope and promise, so i guess that's why people do new year's resolutions.
i like the definition "firmness of purpose". sums it up for me!
