Did you achieve this past years resolution? I did .. For the second year in a row I resolved to do some sort of fitness EVERY day! The fitness consisted of running, speed walking, biking, Insanity, ChaLean Xtreme, Turbo Fire, using the elliptical and the treadmill when the weather permitted me from going outside (we had over 100 inches of snow last year:grumble: ) and also some yoga. I am vowing to do at least 5 out of 7 days per week for this year, so far I have gone everyday. (some habits are hard to break)). Fitness is a habit for me and I take time where ever I am like on cruise ships, vacations, reunions, shopping trips away from home, away for meetings, before work or right after work and sometimes in between. There is ALWAYS time, you just have to carve it out and not let anyone or anything get in the way..... I will be 53 yrs old in a couple of months but the age thing really doesn't bother me when I know I am in much better shape than most 20 yr olds!!! If you have set exercise as a goal for this year I know you can do it, just do it and get it out of the way. It makes you feel better and knowing you have just done something awesome to yourself sets you up to do it again the next day. I also belonged to a group on here where we posted our fitness EVERY day, which kept us accountable too.
I wish you success and remember you are the only one who can defeat you!!!

Yep, I wrote 7 of them down in the front of my diary last year. I achieved 3 of them, one important one is outstanding, but I will do that this year, the others have lost some of their significance.
I made it happen and I'm very proud of myself, I can well advise people to write realistic goals, then break them down into sub-goals, it is awesome when you achieve them.

I make several but usually complete most of them EXCEPT every year I want to get into a relationship though and never happens *shrugs0

Yes, but then I always try to set realistic goals. Not too easy, but something that will show me some success and motivate me further. This year it's training for and completing my half-marathon in June. Not too hard - since I've already done a full marathon years ago. But it's something to work for and it provides some challenge. A lot of people set themselves up for failure by trying to take on more than they can handle. I had a friend who once resolved to go to the gym every weekday for the year. Big mistake. The first time she missed a day she freaked out and decided to give up all together. Hope everybody picked something healthy and achievable this year and that they are successful in achieving their goals! :drinker:0

Yes, I lost some weight and got back into competing horses. Each helped the other. For 2012 I need to lose the rest of the weight, and get even fitter so I can be even more competitive!0

they cost about $50 each time so I plan on doing it maybe twice a year.
What was weird is that my numbers I picked were totally random so I was pretty damn surprised to be nearly spot on!0
