All of these except train for a race. :o) Not too lofty, I think, because I already have some of these habits--it just have to learn to be more consistent with them.

Eat more, actually. I've never been a big eater, and for the past few years especially my years of having a generally healthy diet but not eating enough has caught up with me, and my metabolism is so so slow. I've been doing pretty good for the past few months at getting enough calories a day and have lost about 20 pounds. It's been hard though, so I definitely need to make it a resolution to keep it up.

I laove making resolutions i just fall off the wagon so easily ughMy priority is to lose the excess weight. I was very as a teen and while i love being curvy now, they are becoming increasingly buried under flab. So the weight must go..I have begun watching what i eat actually a week ago and my girlfriends and I about 11 total are doing a fitness challenge with near 500 bucks on the line. So im hoping my greed for money will overpower the need for colas and candy lol.I also need to let go of my victim mentality it is such a drag blaming the world for my issues lol.And I want real love at long lasteverything else will fall into place when i get these things in order

I will surf in 2008. I always thought I'd enjoy surfing but I'm terrified of the ocean creatures. Well this year tentacled critters be damned, I will release my inner Gidget. I've already scouted locations from worst case scenario - Long Island to possibly Puerto Rico, Cabo, San Diego or Hawaii. I think this goal will also keep me fitness oriented to look good in the swimsuit to do it. I'm also planning on doing my 2nd marathon this year, and being more financially fit as well.

i think that almost everyone has the resolution to work out more and eat less and lose weight. for myself - it's something that i strive for all year round - so i don't set the resolution for the new year

Oh, and MY resolution is to drastically cut my egg/milk/animal byproduct intake.

I just want to encourage people to think about resolving to become vegetarian or even just eating less meat in the new year. It's easy and worth it. Cutting back on meat will make you healthier, will shrink your impact on the environment, and, of course, is kinder to our animal friends. Anyways, happy new year!

Sure thing Saturday. And thank you! Oh well, in the end you have to make like that good Nike slogan and "Just do it!" I noticed that just planning to do something makes you overthink it sometimes. In that case, it's better to just drop everything and do it! After all, after I typed that first comment, I thought to myself "what's stopping me from doing it?" Laziness. So, right then and there, I got up and did a work out. I just hope I can impulsively jump up and do it again the next day and the next. I really just have to make sure not to overthink it, after all, once I start something, I really want to reach the end. But if I start thinking about it then I start to go, "Well maybe less..." "That was sloppy and it won't have the same effect...oh well I'll do twice as much tomorrow to make it up." I need to learn to live in the now. I pray I can keep on with it and you too and everyone else with their respective resolutions. Saying something is one thing. Getting up and doing it NOW is another.

Ok! Ruby Jewel Stone, I will be praying for you to have success and achieve your fitness goals. I'm serious, I'm writing your name down here and I will be reminded of this each time I sit down at the computer. Why is it it is so much harder to restart something than it is to begin it in the first place? I have that, too. You pray for me, too, ok??

I'd love an ellipitical. My dream has always been one of those major tredmills. I bet I'd use it daily and it would benefit me. I never get to just walk and walk. My area is congested with traffic and frankly I am out of shape and fear falling on the uneven pavements and sidewalks. What I like to do is march in place or walk on a flat area if I can find it while listening to military cadence tapes. Of course they are perfect for stepping and inspiring too. Let us be able to report some progress a year from now!

I always liked to look of Swedish but can you believe I never even considered that Norwegian was a language! That is so cool. Good luck on that. I'm sure it will be very interesting.

Right now the only organic item I have is a box of Weetabix cereal biscuits. I would like to eat organic produce but it is so extra expensive. I hope to afford to ease into to, too.

I definitely need to exercise more. I have so many ways of putting off. Even though once I finally exercise, I feel really really good, I just can never bring myself to do it again. As a result, after losing over 30 lbs. I'm steadily gaining it back. Bye-bye budding thigh gap! I need to exercise again, but motivation is hard. Sometimes it seems easier to not eat, but that's not healthy. I need to exercise. I need to stick with it. Pray for me! or if you're not into that, just wish me luck!

I lost 55 lbs. about 4 years ago and I put it all back on and then some. So, this year (well the last day in 2007) my boyfriend bought me an elliptical trainer. Since that is the way I lost it all before, I'm hopeful that I can do it again. I'm also going to start watching fit sugar (I normally peruse geek sugar) too! I'm not putting a weight # on it this time either, I'm just going to keep going until I feel/look how I want! Happy 2008!!
