[RKenshin]

Make a priority in that dash shit. I did a similar one recently, shit is awesome.

Been wanting to for a while, looks awesome.

There's a few in the area too... just haven't made the effort to sign up for one yet.

Good luck and good goal. As I'm sure you've already found out; the hardest part is getting started and after you've taken off you're good to go from there. You can take off the rest of that weight easy bro

[Aksannyi]

Actually save some money
Lose some of this weight and actually keep it off.
Get out of the house more.


All sort of vague so I think I will be successful!

[Aksannyi]

God I hope you're being ironic with the last comment

If you have low expectations you won't be disappointed.



For more concrete resolutions:

Pay off at least two of the eighteen student loans I have.
Go back to school.
Start a savings account with another bank and only add, do not subtract (I seem to struggle with the savings account I already have due to this).
Start walking places more often.

while i subscribe to this line sometimes; it is laaaame as fuck.

Get myself healthy. Been a really rough year physically and mentally. Taking a month or two off of life to just get myself in order. All the little BS shit you just ignore your whole life seem to find you @ 30+.

Drop about 20 lbs of fat and gain about 15 in muscle...back to where I was when I was in the Army, about 210 and solid.

Find a jiujitsu gym near me that isn't asinine expensive and get back into rolling. I most likely won't ever fight again, so grappling will have to do for my competitive drive.

Finish a rough draft of my book.

I actually can't wait to start.

I quit smoking tobacco on Nov. 28th cold turkey style. I started off early since that was beginning to be one of the worst habits in my life.

My goal on the 1st is to;

• Give up Soda completely*. (Probably going to be the hardest part, due to caffeine).
• Continue my goal of not smoking. (Pretty easy considering I want to vomit now every time I smell tobacco burning)
• Switch to non-Fluoride based dental products. (Easy, should of done this earlier in life)
• Finish working on a personally made game I've had on the backlog for years now.

*7-Up/Sprite/etc. aren't allowed except for being mixed in alcoholic drinks which I rarely drink anymore besides parties/g2g/etc.

Easiest way to keep up with the soda thing is keep water readily available, and just don't buy more soda to keep in the house. Get one of those home water cooler things with the 5 gallon tanks if you can, they're awesome.

I used to drink 12-24cans of pop every few days. Ever since getting a water cooler, I only drink sugary stuff while at a movie or something...so like once every couple weeks. No idea how stopping smoking is like, but cutting back on pop sucked balls but I'm so happy I did.

[noblemountain]

Making your own soda can be good too, I bought a sodastream and make my own syrups out of different fruit juices so they're healthy and I get fizzy drinks. :D

[Stromgarde]

Fruit juice is horrendously unhealthy also, don't kid yourself

If by that you mean it has sugar, yes...but I could care less about a little bit of sugar from fruit juice. I keep pineapple, orange, apple, and pomegranate juice in the fridge at all times. Juice is great for you as long as you're not chugging gallons of it. Nice thing about using it in the sodastream is that you're still getting all the vitamins and antioxidants you don't get from real soda.

Not pretend that a number increment will help me change any part of myself that I do not have the courage to change on my own.

Lol! You live in Saint Pete right? That's not what I would consider walking distance. (Clearwater north of Roosevelt near the Bayside Bridge, for reference)

[drwaffles]

Quitting smoking except when drinking. I'll quit smoking fullstop on the day after my 28th birthday in a few years' time.

(I know I don't stand a chance)

Water is always readily available in our house. There's just something about seltzer that I really like.

No idea how stopping smoking is like

I started like 5-6 years ago, pack every 2 days of American Spirits blues. From my understanding after reading some research awhile back. Starting later in life makes it much easier to quit at will. Which seems to be my case.

Making your own soda can be good too, I bought a sodastream.

We used this for a few weeks but a lot of the flavors tasted too much like MiO. Just a weird aftertaste for me.

Juice & Concentrate are unhealthy. But stuff like this is great.

I never even used the flavors that came with it. I saw they had aspartame and tossed 'em.
