RoyalMarine · 28-12-2007 2:23am

stop wasting so much time replying to stuff i dont care about...

but honestly i think my resolution is to find my own place to live.

Endasaurus · 28-12-2007 2:28am

This year I intend to:

1. Move the exercise quota from "absolutely none ever" to "fairly often" and to generally improve my fitness level and general appearance upwards.

2. To stand up for myself a bit more than I have, I've been too passive in letting other people have their way just because it was easier or bottling things up which dosen't help.

3. Much more college work!!

4. Otherwise to keep going as I have been and improving things where I see fit

SligoBrewer · 28-12-2007 2:43am

Gain weight.

F**k this losing crap, I want to gain something for once

Naos · 28-12-2007 3:25am

1) To get fit. None of this "Keep fit" lark, I'm not fit enough in the first place to keep fit.
2) Give up drink for six weeks minimum, then try to cut back a lot.
3) Clean Room & Keep it clean.
4) Start practising properly on guitar, learning new strumming methods etc

monkeyfudge · 28-12-2007 3:31am

phasers · 28-12-2007 10:15am

I feel if I don't make any I'm not disappointed

_blank_ · 28-12-2007 10:50am

New years Resolutions? Total bullshít imo.

Why do people need to decide to do things at this time of year?

If you think you are too fat in June, do something about it in June ffs.

If you want to give up smokes, this is probably the time of year when you'll have the least will power, what with all the drinking/tiredness etc. Stupid time to try giving them up tbh.

mickd · 28-12-2007 10:54am

Not to read some of the retarded nonsense in AH

RxQueen · 28-12-2007 10:58am

how many of ye will actuall keep them? that why i dont make any, and i agree with Desf if your fat in june loose weight in june dont wait till the new year!

altho i could do with learning some grammer but shur i aint going to keep it so why bother:rolleyes:

RobbieTheRobber · 28-12-2007 12:41pm

the Telegraph has this to say
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/12/28/nresolve128.xml

Tips for men

• Focus on creating goals that are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Time-based (SMART), says Prof Wiseman.

For example, instead of thinking "I want to find a new job" focus on creating bite-sized, measurable goals for each week, such as rewriting your CV and then applying for one new job every two weeks.

Map out the step-by-step mini-goals that will slowly but surely take you to where you want to be, make a note of them in a diary, and stick to the plan.

• Focus on how much better life will be for you, and those around you, when you achieve your resolution. For example, if you want to quit smoking, make a list of the benefits of giving up, and place it somewhere prominent in your house.

If you want to motivate yourself to go to the gym, find a photograph of a fitness model that appeals to you, and put it in a place where you will see it each day.

Tips for women

• Women who keep their New Year's resolution to themselves make it too easy to forget. Instead, go public.

For example, write down your resolution on a large sheet of paper, sign it, and place it somewhere prominent in your house. Tell your friends, family and colleagues and ask them to provide you with helpful nudges to assist you in achieving your goal.

• Be persistent. New habits take time to learn, and once in a while you will slip up. People on diets might suddenly give in to temptation, or those trying to exercise more might not find the time to go to the gym for a week.

Remember that everyone messes up from time to time. Don't blame yourself if you falter, or allow the experience to make you give up.

arybvtcw0eolkf · 28-12-2007 12:43pm

I want to fight at 100kgs just one last time.

The older I get the harder I find it to make this weight. My last fight I was 117kgs. In the gym a few weeks ago I wass 126kgs.

So there, just one goal this year. Fight @ 100kgs.

Terry · 28-12-2007 1:15pm

Lose about 5 stone.
Stop smoking and drinking.
Stop being such a pussy.
Post that CAO form and actually have a place in some college this time next year.
Stop modding AH.

One is achievable.

Dudess · 28-12-2007 1:42pm

Terry, go to college. You're one brainy fella. What would you like to do?

Dudess · 28-12-2007 1:53pm

Yep, it's good fun all right. Now what course, smart-ass!

Terry · 28-12-2007 2:05pm

I'm looking at computer or electronic engineering. Start off with a 6 and see how it goes from there.

BTW, that's personal abuse.
Enjoy your ban.

constitutionus · 28-12-2007 2:09pm

well mines to get back into shape.

not exactly out of shape now but could stand to tone up a bit. im lucky in that all i really need to do is exercise a bit more and stop eating so much crap. so stop eating snacks, eat more fruit and get back into my routine and i should be grand by may.

probably wouldnt hurt to cut down on the drink either. though ive done alot of that this year. not sure if it was last years resolution or old age that did that one

What's a 6? And what college would you like to go to? Maynooth?

Aw just an infraction surely?

daniel3982 · 28-12-2007 2:23pm

1. Stop being so neurotic
2. Be better with money
3. Get a bit fitter
4. Find myself a ladyfriend

EdgarAllenPoo · 28-12-2007 2:28pm

I always say I'm finally going to start learning Japanese, find a decent job I can stand for more than three months, get fitter and not be so neurotic about money.

I really don't see any of that being accomplished to any great degree this year.

Ouch. I'll be posting in Bargain Alerts and possibly Motors later on today if you'd like to follow me over. Could be fun, although this dance is getting relatively old now.

28-12-2007 3:33pm

1. Research
2. Start a business
3. Learn to drive
4. Find out information about possible masters courses
5. Eh, win the Lotto

Level 8 (HD)
Level 7 (DG/DP) - Ordinary Bachelor Degree/Diploma
Level 6 (HC/CT/FC) - Higher Certificate/Certificate/Foundation Certificate.

I'm looking at DCU or DIT (with Blanchardstown if I can't get either of them)
Maynooth don't have what I want, but it would be my preferred choice for the HD as it's only 10 minutes on the train.

DEmeant0r · 30-12-2007 4:29pm

1. Quit smoking. I've quit smoking for 2 weeks now, so my NY resolution is to not smoke at all in 2008 and beyond!
