Just curious to see whether this group are committing to or indeed having any success keeping new year resolutions.

I'm looking at dropping some weight from the Christmas period(s) and so have embarked on a training plan

couple of 9km runs a week, couple of weight sessions and a couple of HIIT sessions

Anyone else have something they'd like to share - by the way, healthy meal/ training options are very welcome too!

This year I'm hoping to move from my current house to a different house,

look at things a bit more positively and just generally make sure to try stay smiling as much as possible

Already broken... Dry January.  This year I lasted a standard 8 days. I am however still attempting to restrict imbibing the amber nectar to just once a week.

I've never once kept a New Years Resolution that I've made. I think often, it puts too much pressure on you to succeed and it's made at the wrong time.

I've always had success when the change I've wanted to make is at a time when I know that fully (both mentally and physically) I'm ready to accept the challenges (and failures) that lie ahead. That often comes with thought, planning and preparation. I think that's why New Years Resolutions predominantly don't work. You have to be in the right head space to take on a change and often, New Years Resolutions only give you thought about doing it, not everything else - it's almost like the thought is the beginning of making the change, it could then take you another 3 months to actually decide you've got what it takes to go ahead and start putting the things in place or carrying the actions out that would promote the change you want to make.

I think it should be called New Years Thought, instead of New Years Resolution :D ha-ha.

Ha, my favorite topic to chat about throughout January. I think most coworkers are getting tired of me bringing it up.
Unoriginally I do plan to be more healthy, translated into less beers and more sports. I'm already on a good path there, so it'll be about being persistent rather than life-changing. With Covid though I do plan to go beyond the gym a lot more; find activities like wakeboarding, mountainbiking, paragliding... things a bit more thrilling, but in general; go enjoy outside because we can. It's been a limiting year and by now I really miss just going out.

To make up for the less beers and parties, I plan to do more cooking. I have a nice book with recipes of the asian kitches and I'm trying to make something new every week. It's nice if you benefit yourself of your resolutions :)

i quit making new year's resolutions after i broke so many in my lifetime...having said that, i always try to be as good a person as people will let me be

I'm still on going for my resolutions, although, maybe not the best so far :X

Similar to mr Ghostbuster, I told myself I wanted to do more outdoor biking this year, I want to hit 2000 miles on Strava while biking, due to the weather/covid/etc, I probably won't start for another 2+ months :(

I'm also of the variety that hates being inside 24/7. I just wanna go out and bike, canoe or whatever, then come home and chill on my computer.

I guess I technically haven't lost my resolutions yet.. :c

I never set a new year's resolution for my self.  Not because I'm lazy because I am.  But because I will never he disappointed in myself and whatever I do accomplish no matter what it is, it's an accomplishment.  You gotta set the bar low people!

My (late) New Years resolution is to no longer be addicted to this game. I know it won't happen though, I'm counting on it. 

Eh, I nearly never bother with "new years resolutions". I just do things. Like this year my wife and I made a plan to cut our spending to the bare minimum and pay off some accumulated debts as quickly as possible.

Pair the paying off with the savings were already doing, And with God's own luck, we'll be able to buy a house end of next year or early the year after

My best new year resolution and one I have the last year is to wkae up every day, and the day you break it it dosent meater anymore 

I stopped making New Year's resolutions!  They never stick so no sense in starting out the new year already behind the 8 ball. :) 

My New Years Resolution this year is completing at least 3 goals set for myself. I actually called it an achievement list which has attached prizes to it. 

My new year's resolutions were to stop eating pizzas by myself and also to stop sleeping at 5AM. I have only succeeded at one of these two things and I'll let you decide which one that is.

I dont make New Year resolutions anymore. In your mind you do know what you want to achieve, but if you put it in a resolution it will turn into an obligation and that will stress you out. And then it fails.

My New year Resolution was to lose about 100lbs in weight so far i've lost 25 so its going well

I always try to have a resolution all year long, not just one I start at new years. You always want to be improving in life. 

Honestly my new years resolution at this point has probably changed to just getting whatever health condition im going through diagnosed and starting to get it treated
