    New years resolutionZ

    How are they coming along?

    I didn't make any new years resolutions, but I made a March resolution, and that was to stop eating candy and soda. Been keeping that up for a month now, and I wonder when I will crack and try to devour a huge candy cane horizontally.

    I didn't bother with one either.

    I have, however, given up meat, fizzy drinks and chocolate for four weeks. Not for any real reason other than to prove a point and see if I can do it. Passed the two weeks mark for that on Friday, so not doing too badly. Do miss meat slightly, but I don't imagine I'll struggle to do the last two weeks or so.

    I would kill a man after 2 days without meat.

    I make no resolutions on new years. I run off whims and what the picture box tells me I should do.

    I've arranged with some friends to go out for a big Indian meal the day I finish, so needless to say, I'll be more than making up for that month with a nice chicken tikka balti or something. The fact that I'm doing it to prove a point makes it somewhat easier. Friend of mine did a similar challenge a few months back but took weekends off. I said this was cheating and he reckoned I couldn't do it, so it's worth doing to prove him wrong

    That friend of yours would be the first one to go, as I would blame him for the whole mess in the first place.

    IT would also be his meet that makes me fail. That way at his funeral I could not only be eating him, but I could say, "Guess you were right, I couldn't do it," with a big grin on my face as I take a bite and walk away.

    I resolved to make this exact thread sometime in March.

    I haven't bothered with a new years resoloution either, I could easily just determine I'm going to give something up from now on though, I think the first thing I wanna do is cut down on the junk food I tend to eat especially when working I know I've put on a few pounds so I need to cut back. Normally the canteen serves full english fried breakfast and pretty much everything at lunchtime is either fatty or crappy. So I've decided I'm going to attempt to balance my diet using the sandwiches from the chiller downstairs on shop floor and the salad bar from food to go it should given a bit of time mean I lose some of that weight since I know thats my biggest problem. The only other option being packed lunches but I like my sandwiches to contain salad and meat which means it'd be very expensive.

    I didn't make any since I knew I'd have trouble following them through.

    My new years resolution was to not go insane; I think I failed.

    If you want to change something about yourself, its silly to wait until new years eve to start doing it.

    It's the principle of the matter!

    I also touched the 3 tiered chocolate cake.

    I've been off caffeine for a while now. Though it wasn't a New Years resolution, seeing as it was before then. >_>

    Haven't yet cut off soda/pop/whatevercolloquialismyouuse, but I've been drinking non-caffeine (obviously) and less of it in general.

    Thanks to Sagensyg for the sig!
