    Pink Grin Did you keep your New Years' Resolution from last year?

    Because I did.

    Yes that's right. This is my 365th thread this year. Actually probably more than that because I opted not to count threads I made in the staff forum.

    I HOPE YOU ALL LIKED THE EXTRA ACTIVITY and also the frequently inane thread topics!

    Did anyone else keep their resolution?

    Me too!

    For this year, might as well figure out what I want to do with my life. My resolution will be to set a stepping stone!

    My resolutions for 2012 that I noted down in my lj:

    be nicer
    discover my artistic side - failed
    eat healthier and smurfING STICK TO VEGETARIANISM - half failed, I have educated myself on the ways of eating healthier
    learn to read music and to successfully play an instrument - failed
    move from Phoenix and never come back
    switch to using cash/no debit cards - failed
    start saving to open the cafe - failed

    2.5/7 I didn't set a goal for the amount of weight I wanted to lose but I ultimately lost 32 pounds this year and gained a few back, so now I'm at about -25 for the year of 2012. Going to do better for 2013 and I'm hoping to get lower than my high school size by September (gotta look hot for weddingsss).

    I don't really know where 2013 is going to take me and I don't know what I should make resolutions for otherwise. Might try vegetarianism again and I'd like to start playing piano and drawing/painting but I don't know if I necessarily care about making those into resolutions anymore.

    My new years resolution was to keep on keepin' on. So far I'm alive and keepin' on so hurrah for me

    My resolution this year is to take a break from resolutions.

    <s style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(0, 41, 66);">move from Phoenix and never come back</s>
    you can't cross that out because it's a continuing resolution.

    Have to say I'm very surprised that "Be nicer" is quite a common resolution!

    My resolutions from last year:

    - Weight Loss - check, though not nearly as much as I could have done due to a) negligence and b) a rather rocky year

    - Stop drinking Fizzy Drinks - check, apart from occassional nights out - but that's a massive improvement over the 3 to 4 cans a day I used to go through

    - Make an iOS game - Nope, more due to procrastination than anything. I got one level done though.

    - Learn a Musical Instrument - Nope

    - Get the job I was going for - Nope

    - Get my hair cut every 2 months - Not by a long shot

    Resolutions for 2013:

    - Sort my mental problems out
    - Continue weight loss
    - Join local Athletics Club
    - Finish that iOS game
    - Get the job I want
    - Start doing more freelance Graphic Design work and build a more organised portfolio

    Instead of setting goals I know that I will inevitably fail, I instead set goals I know that I can never achieve. That way, I won't be disappointed.
