El Presidente Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 So if you made one.....what was your New Years resoultion and are you still going strong? Mine 1. Don't drink alone. So far so good although I am finding myself visiting mates a hell of a lot more. 2. Call my parents twice a week. The first call went for 3 hrs with my mother. Holding on just but secretly hoping I get the answering machine occasionally. 3. Get the kids to the beach every two Sundays a month for a surf First one was a disaster whendumped on the longboard and seeing ouble for days. Since then the water has come to us .....so I have counted it as done. 4. Get down to 88 Kilos (again). Exercising 30 minutes a day, carb free. So far so good. It is possible my watch runs 15 minutes fast an hour.
Colt45 Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 I usually don't make new year's resolutions, but have this year. I'm going to try and find a new job / line of work.
tdlfoto Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Less Starbucks. I was likely spending a box of MC#2's per month on Starbucks. As a photographer I have weird hours and drink a lot of coffee. Add to that the fact that there's a damn Starbucks shop walking distance to my studio AND my house and its a recipe for death by $2 coffees. Anyhow, I bought a $20 coffee press and much prefer the taste. So far so good. Have been to Starbucks once in January so far.
aes8 Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Learn Mandarin and become debt free, except for my Condo mortgage
Fuzz Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Try to prank Rob once a month... or at least annoy him.
CanuckSARTech Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Man, I wish - 88 kilos / 200 lbs? I was *once* at 196 lbs or so years back when I first started working out and such, and everyone told me that I looked anorexic. You could see my ribs and everything. At 6'1", even while that isn't excessively tall, my bone structure is just mammoth and getting under 220-230 is just almost out of reach, even when I'm in absolutely peak shape. I'll be jealous of you and your waifish/girlish figure, Rob.
soltino Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Learn Mandarin and become debt free, except for my Condo mortgage They were my last years resolutions Mandarin is still ongoing but I managed to clear my last remaining 2 mortgages last year. Surprisingly though it doesn't feel as good to be debt free as I first thought it would be... maybe it just hasn't sunk in yet
soltino Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 I usually don't make new year's resolutions, but have this year. I'm going to try and find a new job / line of work. And this is also my resolution for this year Soooo bored of the day job that it is time for a change, but got no idea what to do.. Contract is up in September so have a few months to mull it over... gonna be a lot of time spent smoking churchills and double coronas contemplating the meaning of my life this year I expect...

I hope you are building quite the reserve cigar stash with the recent stellar years of high qualilty production we have had!
Guest rob Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Going ok so far... I set a goal / personal challenge of seeing whether I could go to the gym every single day in January (except for Jan 1st)... Been every day so far - and worked my butt off I might add.
bolivr Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Get the work/life ratio a little healthier which should mean more time for cigars. Failing miserably so far...
dicko Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Going ok so far...I set a goal / personal challenge of seeing whether I could go to the gym every single day in January (except for Jan 1st)... Been every day so far - and worked my butt off I might add. That's impressive Rob! I am a 2-3 a week guy. I also have gym goals. 160kg squat, 220kg deadlift, 120kg bench. Career wise I want to finish my law degree. I also wish to get some degree related work experience and be able to leave my part time bottle shop job. PM me if you have anything for me (shameless plug :-p )
samb Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Pay off a big chunk of debt while still saving for a house.
ajgagnon Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 My wife wants to know if anyone wants to buy a 'lightly used elliptical trainer'. Last year's resolution!
Rogers72 Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Like Colt, I have resolved to NOT be in the same job/career/field by January 2012. It's a resolution that is LONG overdue but time flies when you get stuck in a comfortable rut.
thechenman Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Damn...I knew I forgot to do something this year.
tmac77 Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 I was thinking of a resolution to consolidate my 3 desktops and 1 coolidor into one Aristocrat http://www.aristocrathumidors.com/ Of course I have not yet told my wife about this resolution.
JasonInChiTown Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Balance work/life better. Spend too many hours at work. I need to accept the fact that there will always be a constant stream of things to do. If I spend 10 hours a day doing it versus 8, the same amount will be there tomorrow.
anacostiakat Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 I don't make New Year Resolutions. Why disappoint myself any more than I already know I am going to be.
