New Year Resolutions 2015

- Fitness. Get back on my routine. Not far off, but due to events and slight injury while working out. Had to scale back while I healed

- Stop thinking

That's it

As someone who has previously dealt with these kinds of issues in the past, I want to congratulate you on a great and hopefully life changing resolution. It takes a very strong person to admit something like this and I hope you follow through!
 
Beat depression. That's my goal.

It's really hard to get out of bed and get going, Ive been feeling sorry for myself despite having a fantastic life and opportunities. I know it's a chemistry problem for me, personally, but that can be overcome.

I read a thread on reddit where they did an ask reddit for people who were terminally ill about what their ailment was and how long they had to live last night. It made me think a little more about my situation and how I need to do a better job of living. It's hard though, too, because even when I want to do more, I have this weight that is holding me back and keeping me down. I want to beat it and live the best life I can. I hope medication helps me and that I can do better.

My wife has been depressed since her teenage years. She's been on medication and has had years of counseling. Some people don't beat it. Some people have to learn how to live with it.

I'm not trying to depress you even further. I just don't want you to feel like a failure if you can't beat it. As you say, it's a biochemical state, you can't just think or will yourself away from it.

Thank you. Its encouraging.
 
I tried to make them realistic and specific.

-Save more, spend less.

-Drink more water in place of soda.

-Eat breakfast everyday.

-Less caffeine.

-30 minutes of excercise at least 3 times per week.
 
Getting back to healthy from the horrible holiday diet is a given.

For me, I want to read more books this year. Last year I only read like 3. I want to read at least 6-8 this year.

Finishing up the first Game of Thrones. 2nd book is already here. I also have a good biography on George Washington and John Adams.
 
Natural resolutions

I didn't have a resolution, but yesterday I naturally drifted into what would have been my resolutions. Diet and other behaviours changing for the better.
 
I'm only going to ride fixed gear this year. I disassembled all my bikes and put them in the attic. I'm left with my fixed gear cross bike it will get the rack and panniers and that will be it for the next 12 months
 
Get a good boyfriend
Become debt free
Get a better paying job
Learn Spanish and French
Lose weight
Get and Stay organized
Get a new car
Save some money for Travel want to go to Paris and London and NYC
 
My resolution? I'm still stuck with 1280 by 800 :p

I'd really like to learn to code this year. That's about the only thing I'd like to do differently.

EDIT: Dammit, Krafty! You beat me to it!

Thanks! I need to get serious about my life and getting to improving my life asap. That's why my list is so long. I'm not getting any younger. :)

Stay focused and you can do it. :)

As to goal one...remember this and it will help you in separating the chaff from the wheat. Relationships do not make us who we are (at least they shouldn't). They should enhance who we already are as individuals. And if the gentleman that has your eye or has asked you out isn't seeking to help you be the very best lady you can be, he isn't much of a gentleman.

Don't give up or give in to mediocrity and you will see your goals achieved. :) Being patient with ourselves can be the hardest task of all. I am still working on that one. lol

I wish you well.
 
I've never been good at New Years resolutions. My one major goal for the year of 2015 is to spend less and save more. :)
