What's Your New-year's Resolution?

[Retired_Can_Soldier]

I don't have a resolution. I have plans this year, but my resolutions have always gone bust so I don't really pay attention to the New Year Promise to break.

I lost 40 lbs last year, thanks greatly to Mrs RCS above who looks absolutely fantastic. This Christmas I probably put 10 back on so I'll be watching what I eat and try and dump that.

I'm going to finish the first draft of the new book in mid 2013, let it rest for a couple months then start on one of the other two partially started manuscripts before the editing begins. Balancing that with my artwork.

I'm also going to see about selling my house in the Spring so I can stop being an economic refugee. Although the wife and I would rather retire to a warm climate, we want to be together, so damn the torpedoes.

I will continue shooting photography, a pastime I have really come to love.

No real ultimatums folks, just simple goals. I'm a lucky guy as it is.

I hope all of you stay healthy and happy in 2013.

I really like the % trick, I am going to check that out.


I live on the 8th floor and used to walk up and down...now I just riiiiiiiiiiiiide the elevator...bad bad bad...

There you go, there's your "gymnasium". 8 Floors, I guessing about 120 steps, so do that 4 times a day and you'll be in great shape, pronto.

Aaaaaaaaaah, get out in the cold air for an hour, much better than toast or tea and 15 minutes after you get home you'll be dozing.

I drank a WHOLE BOTTLE OF WINE... and I KNEW better, I can't handle more than two glasses...I feel like I'm dying

Maybe later right now I am concentrating on not hurling up my toast. :clown:

 

[Janice61]

Young kids do that stuff!-

 

[Locutus]

I don't make 'em either.

As for you miss Sal, you feel sick because your stomach is full of puke.

I started my day by cleaning up the dishes while she slept (we had steak and shrimp last soir), got some prep done for a omelet then cued-up a piece of music (A Touch of Magic by James Leroy). Around 9 am had a gentle dance and made her a tea.

I'm a good boy.

I have the e-cigs. So far I've stayed away from the nicotine cartridges but then I've not had all that much luck so far either. I'm wondering if I should be maybe using the nicotine cartridges and try weaning myself out of the habit first.

Sigh, or maybe I'm just setting myself up to fail. Again.

I was smoking a pack and a half by the end, sometimes more...I cheated I took Zyban.

It worked.

I really wonder if I was actually physically addicted though...they say there is a tiny percentage who are not...I claimed to be physically addicted, my doctor at that time said I was physically addicted and that it was worse than a heroin addiction.

I reacted rather badly to the Zyban after 3 weeks. I lost a lot of weight which I could not afford to do at the time, and I had anxiety attacks which made me feel I couldn't breathe. They (Zyban hotline) told me to keep taking it because otherwise I would begin smoking again. I knew I was finished with smoking so I quit the Zyban and haven't smoked since. Well except for my 1 year anniversary. I lit one up to test it. Choked... done. That was.....hm I don't know, maybe ten/twelve years ago. I don't track these things.

Good luck, it's a hard battle for some. I wish I could give up desserts as easily as I quit smoking after having done so for likely 30 years.

For normal people it probably is. But I'm a full blown chocoholic. If I touch the stuff I'll be chowing down an entire box of Purdy's for breakfast. Best for me to stay away from it entirely.

I think it's more normal to adore chocolate than being abnormal. LOL.
I think dark chocolate is cruel and unusual punishment for chocolate lovers.

Unfortunately to get the health value of one piece of dark chocolate the stats say you might just have to eat that whole box of Purdy's.

And Purdy's in the mall is a definite stop for this gal.
Unless of course I just visited Godiva's .

As for chocolate for breakfast,perfectly normal in France.
I love this shop in Toronto ,Soma.

Do not peek in here Kreskin!

Well chomping down on some pickled pig’s feet will take care of that puke feeling.
Down it goes and then the gagging begins- signaling time to head for the head - Then Bamo - projectile puking.

Thanks. It's not my first battle and it may not be my last. The way I figure it, you got to keep climbing back on that wagon no matter how many times you fall off.
