I will run/ride a little farther and do it little faster than in 2008. I'm pretty slow, so 1st or 2nd place in this race is almost guaranteed.<BR/><BR/>Though I must admit being intrigued by red flashlight's resolution to eat more cheese. I think that may be a good back up plan.mappchikhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11121801381931009888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-46613099173828853282009-01-03T17:17:00.000-05:002009-01-03T17:17:00.000-05:00i make resolutions every year - some things i can keep to (i kept one awesomely this year!) and others don't work out. <BR/><BR/>perfect example from this past year - i finally wanted to learn how to kayak. given finances and some other various factors, however, it didn't work out. am i upset? no, because in the grand scheme of things, i can (theoretically) learn to kayak when i'm 90-years-old.<BR/><BR/>this year, though, my resolutions are very similar to the boy's so we're going to push and motivate each other. it's only been three days, but so far, so good!Thttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03808070327493365276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-20609532928054749792009-01-03T14:20:00.000-05:002009-01-03T14:20:00.000-05:00I resolve to eat more cheese.

Love to hear your new years' resolutions or damn good reasons for not making them.<BR/><BR/>Just got back from our camping trip, which was great. No stomach flu, hooray! But caught a cold which I'm still in denial about because I NEVER catch colds. Harumph).<BR/><BR/>And Evicting Gertrude, that's so cool you jumped on the treadmill for an hour mid post. And even more awesome that you came back to Cranky Fitness to comment afterwards!!!!<BR/><BR/>See y'all soon, can't wait to catch up and find out what everyone's been up to.Crabby McSlackerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12108791388350253344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-84161366251230157412009-01-02T22:21:00.000-05:002009-01-02T22:21:00.000-05:00Pretty sure that I was planning on blowing off my workout today until I read this...hopped up mid-post for an hour on the treadmill.

If you're expecting it, then you can get right back on track once you start sliding.

This year I'm focusing on continuing to do the healthy things I'm doing: eating healthy, forcing myself to exercise, not smoking, drinking less, etc. When I look at that list, I'm not even going to try fitting in a new resolution!Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14989528656890002126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-77967637216737537282009-01-02T12:26:00.000-05:002009-01-02T12:26:00.000-05:00Oh Crabby, how I love you. You make me laugh and make me think, all at the same time!<BR/><BR/>Number 3 is particularly important for me to remember. I have a tendency to think that my first slip is merely an indication of my TOTAL LACK OF WILLPOWER and then I throw in the towel. (Maybe this year I should resolve not to do that anymore!

I've read almost all CF's posts, but somehow missed the resistance muscle. It actually makes ALOT of sense, and the timing is absolutely perfect for me! combine that with the husband not coming home with ice cream just because we're (read I'M) almost out.. i might actually get to my 1st big weightloss/fitness goal :)<BR/><BR/>i didn't really make a resolution, but being after the holidays, it's the perfect time to really TRY again.

I got all inspired and started a Beck Twitter group and then collapsed in exhaustion over my laptop around midnight last night! My resolution: be as nerdy has possible.

I've never really done resolutions, they just don't work for me.

I think I get stuck in the moment a lot and forget that everything changes eventually. The hard stuff doesn't stay hard nor does the great stuff stay great. It's a reminder that you can stick anything out and to enjoy the good times while you have them. I kinda suck at living in the moment but I'm working on it!Charlottehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04339643338071382257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-76612058486604064902009-01-02T09:24:00.000-05:002009-01-02T09:24:00.000-05:00#8 is my system!
