What’s your New Years Resolution?

My goals for next year:
A. Workout at least 4x/week
B. 20 pullups unbroken
C. Power clean my body weight5 -
In 2017, I lost over 70lbs in my first serious attempt at weight loss. For 2018 I plan to keep the weight off by:
1. Weighing myself daily
2. Logging my calories daily
3. Getting exercise several times per week
4. Adjust calorie intake/Exercise as needed if weight starts to increase5 -
I'm not at maintenance at the moment, but have been in the past (or close enough where losing was far from a priority).
I don't really set NYR.
My goals I've already started on, they tend to be more on the timeline of my race season than the annual calendar. As a season wraps up I analyze what happened that year, successes and failures, what I want my next season to look like, and what I can do now to make that happen.
So, my current goals are:
1) Continue with my "regular" gym routine (limitations with my leg being a factor) and increase it as the current plan becomes easy.
2) Cut myself some slack where my leg is concerned - do what I can, don't sweat what I can't.
3) Build my bike so I feel confident on it because it's doing what it should, when it should.
4) Don't eat dinner out alone (or ordered out) more than 1x/week - cook at home/leftovers
5) Phone gets put away when I'm in bed - no reading/looking at phone once I'm in my bed
6) Continue to train the hand/eye/brain coordination (yay for an excuse to play more video games!)
7) Continue with active rehabilitation and rebuilding of my leg
This one I haven't made a priority yet, but is on the list:
8) Meditate, even for just a minute, daily

I always used to make a yearly resolution to lose weight but that never worked out for me...Last year I didn't make a resolution and I lost 64 pounds So this year I'm not going to make any resolutions either!!!6

Well said and exactly the way I feel! Life is too unpredictable and always changing. I change goals and resolutions as needed.1 -
Sub 1:45 half marathon
Sub 4:00 marathon
Increase lifts (don't have specifics set yet)
Continue to be able to control weight (gain/lose/maintakn depending on need)

I know it doesn't seem like much but I've never been able to do one before!
After I read this I gave it a try. There’s one of those outdoor circuit things on my walking route. Pull-up, nope. But I’ll keep trying!2 -
I'm at the top end of my goal weight but still recomping, will probably be satisfied another ten pounds down but my goals now are more measurement and performance based.
I made several fitness related goals for 2017 and achieved them: normal weight, waist under 35', normal A1c, can do twenty real push-ups in a row, can do 100 crunches and 200 bodyweight squats in a row, can squat and deadlift my body weight, can run a sub ten minute mile and sub 36 minute 5k.
This year's fitness goals:
I want to have a 30 inch waist by my birthday in June (currently 32).
Run a sub 30 minute 5k before my birthday
Be competitive in my age group at 5k by the time of St Jude's Marathon weekend next December (doing the sub 30 would have put me in the top 20 this year)
I still want to do a pull-up! This is not yet an immediate goal as much as a distant one
Continue to exercise regularly, eat appropriately, and maintain my A1c at healthy numbers
Learn to balance my life better - currently I am doing well on the exercise and diet front, but at the cost of the rest of my life. I need to learn to manage my time better, so that good habits become automatic and easy, for long term change to be sustainable.
As they used to say, "God willin' and the creek don't rise," since fate, illness, and unforeseen circumstances can make any goal go out the window!4 -
No resolutions here. But as always I will keep consistently exercising and watching my intake (loosely) as that's what keeps me trim and fit.2
-
My current resolution/goal is to get more flexible. I saw a thread about a 30 day yoga challenge, but the video turned me off the instructor, so I would like to just do it on my own. If I can do a little every day, in a month I should see some improvement.1
-
No resolutions. Simply eat well and exercise as I always do.1
-
400 lb deadlift.3

I don't care for fitness resolutions, but I do have some goals does maintenance as I'm so close after being severely underweight.
1. Figuring out my maintenance calories, and be mentally okay with "under" days.
2. Continue to lift. Lose/redistribute the belly fat.
3. Build more endurance through cardio. I want to be able to ride my bike again after struggling for several years.
4. Try something different every so often. My first one will be rock climbing at REI.2 -
Nup. You can make goals anytime, why wait until the end of the year? This year I hope to finish immunotherapy after a long bout of chemo and be as fit in a bad *kitten* way than ever before . I have already started that plan; I will do a spartan and find a tuff mudder group to raise money for cancer despite being “old”. Look out 2019 once I smash this years plan..... to get as fit and strong as I have ever been in my life5

My goal is one month at a time maintaining my weight something I could not do before when I lost weight. I’m hoping this will help keep me on track.3

Lose the holiday weight and get back to maintenance.
Finish the treehouse5 -
Mine is to keep logging every day and be content with whatever weight comes off. I want to loose weight but not keep myself to a schedule, as I'll get discouraged if I go slower. So yes, the other goal is to end the year weighing less than I do now.3
-
I don't have any resolutions and don't need any. When I set my mind on something, I do it now, not wait on January 1st. My goals for this year is to continue my lean bulk until April and then do a cut from April to hopefully June or at most July.1

Just started rowing daily again and have a goal of reaching 1 million lifetime meters on my Concept2 rower.
Concept2 gives participants a t-shirt, pin and certificate when this is accomplished.
Currently at about 725k lifetime meters rowed over the past 18 months and only have 275k meters to go.
At my present rate of rowing 10k meters/day (5 days/wk), I should easily reach this goal w/in 6 wks by mid-Jan 2018.
Topped 1 Million Lifetime Meters rowing yesterday as planned!
At my current rate of rowing 50k meters/wk, I just might be able to top 2 Million meters by the end of the current rowing season which ends on 4/30/18.
So, this is my new goal for 2018.
No big deal if I don't make it but it will give me something to shoot for.2 -

First resolution met!
The treehouse will have to wait for warmer weather.3
