Fun Stuff > CHATTER
Do we have a New Year's Resolutions thread yet?
Bluesummers:
I'm going to [try to] resolve to:
* Not get fired again...I kinda like this job, and it pays the bills.
* Get my car registered, and keep it that way.
* Pay off those god damn collectors...not really. I totally bullshitted that one.
* Go somewhere actually nice for my 5-year anniversary...I have exactly one month to fulfill this one. Tick tock.A-yup.
Carl-E:
* Find a decent full-time job.
* Lose more then the 5 lbs I lost this summer.
* Stop wasting so much time in here.
At least one of these is a guaranteed failure...
bainidhe_dub:
But succeeding at either of the first two could lead to success at the third.
Bluesummers:
Except for the issue of willpower. QCforums is like the One Ring...it just...keeps drawing you closer...the preceious...preciousssss.....

Hey, a resolutions thread!!
According to last year's thread, I haven't done too shabby with those but there is always room for improvement.
(click to show/hide)-Lose some damn weight. I eat decently, but I'm a big snacker and the munchies are definitely not helping either. Neither is sitting on my ass 9-5 every day.
Did it! Want to lose more but I'm down about 20 pounds! Just another 25 to go.
-Do more yoga/be less stressed/take less Xanax
Yoga=no (too much money), less stressed=little better each day and Xanax= doing good! I've taken it mayyyyybe twice in the last 4 months
-Try to not forget to take my meds daily. My brain just does not want to remember to take them when really all it does is screw my brain up more.
Did it!
-Do a massive organizational overhaul of my apartment (I'm doing one of those silly 52 week challenge things)
Not quite. Did get rid of a lot but the challenge never happened. I'm thinking it needs to be attempted one more time.
-Spend less moolah/be smarter with coupons. I've resolved to spend less than $40/week on groceries
Ok, so it wasn't always under $40, but I've been pretty good at keeping it around $50ish. Definitely better willpower now- my mantra is "Just because it's super cheap, doesn't mean we need it".
-Make more moolah. If I don't get the raise I was promised last month, I'm either going to look for a new job or get a second one.
Never got that raise. Still at the same job. However, I will be doing some design work for my supervisor outside of the office and I'm really considering signing up as a life drawing model at the local college. $15/hr!
-Get my ass moving on the wedding planning. We've been engaged for 6 months now and we just have a few dates picked out, a list of venues and a lot of random, mismatched ideas.
Coming along! I should hope so because we're now less than 5 months away. Holy crap.
I'm kinda proud of the resolutions that I came up with this year. They feel more attainable and don't feel as though I'm making huge changes, just focusing on more things that have already proved to be helpful. Plus....they aren't as harsh as last year's. I'm nice to everyone else, why should I be mean to myself?
- Continue employing "Wise Mind" awareness. I will not ignore the signs if I find myself starting to slip, I will catch myself and work on climbing back up without placing any blame on myself.
- Decrease negative statements about myself and stop feeling guilty when people offer to help me with things.
- Start using Dave Ramsey's money management method. Don't get angry if it doesn't work right away.
- Throw out 50 things.
- Try not to put off doing things you don't want to do- it will only make them worse.
- Perform more random acts of kindness.
- Make more art.
