Fgf: Get Pumped For 2012! What's Your Resolution?

Heyaaa VST!! It's FEEL GOOD FRIDAY!!! Sometimes we have to revv our engines to get to feeling that spark we need to get things moving. We NEED goals in our lives to keep feeling achievements. This doesn't necessarily have to be weight loss driven. It can be anything we want or need to improve on in our lives.

This time next year, I will dredge up this post and see how many of us have accomplished our "goal". Good luck!!

For me, my New Year's Resolution is to fully and truly accept the new me. It's a real daily chore, sometimes hitting "goal" is not just waking up one day and being happy and satisfied. It takes a lot of mental work too. I'm not saying I don't, because I do - but there are little times when my brain doesn't want to register this. So, I propose to myself that by the end of next year, I won't allow any of those into my thoughts. So, in short, I guess my goal is to never have another weight loss goal. Haha!! ;)

Keep up all the awesome work everyone! Y'all are the most successful bunch of folks I've ever come across.

I had to think about this for a few days...

My main resolution is to be kinder to myself and put myself first sometimes! I am breaking that down into two things...becoming active and getting my self esteem under control so I dont take everything out on my hubby!

I need to work on being motivated to be active. I have dreams of being able to run 5k's. I have asthma so its kinda hard for me to become a runner, however, Jackie Joiner Kirksey had asthma too and that didnt stop her! So... my first resolution is to run a 5k... the whole thing and do some fun stuff like play the we just dance 2 and zumba games I have. I am going to be working on my fitness!

The next part is to be kinder to my husband who is my life. I take everything out on him and he doesnt deserve that. I vow to stop doing that and being more attentive and loving. My self esteem is getting better now with the weight loss and I hope to work on my head a little and get this resolved.

I dont want to go too overboard with these so I will just make two. Maybe I can handle that! Good luck to everyone!

Hi Foresikchic, those are 2 really wonderful resolutions. I am sooo on board with the Hubby thing. I love my Husband so much and I know I can go a little overboard sometimes. Thank Goodness for me he is a very patient man. ;)

Regarding the asthma - I have asthma too. I'm a runner as well. Good for you on removing that from your excuse list... I used to use that one as well. Truth be told, my asthma is even BETTER since I've started running. Pick a 5K even in the near future and start training. Once you run across that finish line, it will probably be one of the best sense of accomplishments you will ever feel. Good luck!!

Yayyy!! That's in your future for sure. :)

I am going to sign up for my first 5k, its February 25th here in San Antonio. Thats 8 1/2 weeks away or so. I think I can do it if I dont give up after the first three weeks, like I have in the past. It just always seemed like stuff came up and I didnt get to be consistent with my running and then I just fell off the wagon after missing one or two training sessions. I am trying a new running program that is a little easier than couch to 5k- meaning it is less complicated in the amounts of time you run/walk. Maybe that will do the trick. PLUS... this time I weigh 55 pounds less!!!!!!

For the FIRST time EVER my New Year resolution will NOT be to LOSE WEIGHT OMG!!!!!!!!

I WANT TO CRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tears of Joy, of course!

I can't even wrap my head around that!

I DON'T WANT TO OR NEED TO LOSE MORE WEIGHT!!!

IT'S A MIRACLE I TELL YOU!

ANYHOO, I would love to try and accomplish a 2K...that would be a miracle for ME. I know it's possible, so yeah that's what I'm going to shoot for this 2012.

Also, try and pay off some credit cards and live debt free, aahhhh that would be nice

:)

MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL

:) Hugs!

S, gurrrlll I know right??? I actually had to seriously ponder mine - I've come up with a few. But like in the past mines always been weight driven. My 2011 resolution was to finally hit my goal. YAYYY I DID IT!! LOL!! So funny I just realized that this very moment.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too sweetie! I know I already wished you that but hey... ;o)
