QotD: New Year's Resolution

What's your New Year's resolution for 2009? How did you do with 2008's?

the only resolution i made last year was to join a gym and lose weight and i definitley accomplished that! in january 2008, i was tipping the scales at 178 and now i am back down to 155. i didn't diet or anything like that but i became so much more active and i think thats why i dropped all that weight. i would love to lose 5-10 more pounds but i'm not worried about it. i wish more people would make new resolutions to become more ACTIVE and make healthier choices then to just generally say LOSE WEIGHT. its all about changing your lifestyle and not about crash dieting and exercising until you reach the point of exhaustion or watching the scale religiously. i tried to go to the gym 2-3 times a week and i didn't weigh myself until september! i wasn't freaking out over a number but i did start to feel better which is what really matters.

okay so i'm officially going to make some resolutions for this year because i have a lot of things i want to accomplish in 2009!

1. start working out at the gym again (i haven't been since sept!)
   
2. put more money into my savings account for our move...stop spending $ on frivolous things like ebay, clothes, restaurants, going to the movies, groceries that we don't eat.
3. help out more at home...take the initiative before my mother or will has to ask me to do something.
4. bring lunch to work more...stop going out to eat.
5. stop limit my intake of fast food (dude you *know* its impossible to give that shit up entirely!)
6. no more corn syrup...drink soda only once on weekends. eat more quality food - foods with less then four ingredients in them, more fiber, organic products, and no added stuff like msg, natural flavors, sweeteners, chemicals, etc.
   
7. use products with no parabens in them.
8. MOVE TO CALIFORNIA!
9. quit my job
10. enjoy unemployment for awhile before stressing about being unemployed
    
11. get an awesome new job that doesn't drive me crazy or kill my will to live and pays more then what i make now

13. have more patience and understanding with everything and everyone
