New Years Resolutions! What are yours?

Hey everyone. I've already formally introduced myself, but since I just got my New Years resolutions set for next year, I just thought I'd post them here and see if anyone who wants to do something similar, please friend me! It looks like a lot but I'm hoping it turns out to be about 30 minutes a day with a bit extra on weekends. Thing is I'm practically already deciding that I'm not going to go through with it, so if you want to do something similar to that, friend me and we'll motivate each other. 
To run/walk a mile every day. This doesn't have to be all at once; it can be in two 10 minute intervals, etcetera. Perhaps I'll even get to the point of being able to run a mile by the end of the year.
To lift weights three times a week. I'm not going to have a final amount of weight I'd like to be able to lift in each position. If I can keep with the goal of doing it, I think I'll get good results, both in terms of muscle building and amount of weight I can lift.
To use a different form of exercise (I'm going to use 10 Minute Trainer videos my family has, they've got different types) to bring my daily exercise minutes up to 30.
To get in one outdoor(ish) activity a week, whether that is a hike, skiing, or ice skating. This would replace the mile for that day.
To do a completely different type of exercise that's more fun (in my case, these NY ballet fitness videos I got a little while ago once a week). This would also replace the mile for that day.
I'm hoping by doing this I can get pretty fit in about 30 minutes a day with extra but *fun* stuff on weekends. Want to join? You can absolutely modify this but if you want to do something similar, friend me.

The same as I resolved back in 2000, not to make New Year's resolutions, but to assess my life throughout the year and make the necessary changes at that time instead of once a year.0

1) To be more patient
2) To workout more often...I'm at 3 times/week now and it's just not enough
3) Give up white stuff...white bread, potatoes, cakes etc - it's not good for me
4) Stop driving so fast lol0 -
To get my kids to eat healthier.
EDIT to add: Spend less time on the internet. 0 -
Your goals are very impressive, I think they are ambitious and it gives you a greater drive to sucseed, Im sure you will :-) all the various activitys you do will get your physique into a perfect condition, and the NY ballet, go you! thats cool. good luck!
My resoloutions I have 5, they are
1. get to 14stone or under 12% Body fat
2. Get Involved in MMA and go as far as I can.
3. Involved in a video of myself and a friend training, hope to have it done by july to inspire people even if just one to go for their dream
4. Do something for charity that will earn a good amount, mountain climb/ marathon those type of fund raisers
5. get myself a missus, Its been way to long!! lol
Im carlie, lost alot of weight this year, 6stone, It been hard, Ive hit the wall a few times, but Im getting there, Im hoping to get into my peak shape by march/april 2012. I would really like to inspire anyone like me who was at first intimidated by excerise in public to overcome their fear and acheive what they want to do. Im a former Rugby Player looking for a career in Mixed Marshall Arts, theres a slim chance, but there is a chance and I am going for it!! good luck to all on your journeys 0 -

For my 2012:
- Do cardio at least 4-5 times a week. Strength training at least 3.
- Continue to lose the weight in a healthy, happy manner.
- Become as organic and process-free as I can within my tight budget.
- Get and keep my family motivated to do the same!
- Never step foot or drive around a fast-food restaurant ever again! Except the Subway I currently work in.
- To continue logging in to MFP until I can do this on my own.
- Save up as much money as possible by the end of the year. (I don't have a set, realistic number just yet.)
- Get a better job with more opportunities.
- Find a way to get at least one or two college classes rolling!
This is about all I can think of for now. I haven't thought of New Year's JUST yet. Mostly CHRISTMAS! 0
