So, its been a month...and even if you didn't post in the original thread..how are you doing with your NYE commitment if you made one?

http://www.pocketfives.com/f13/offic...thread-655103/

I for one have done my 50 push up everyday and only ate ice cream every other night.

Chest is massive and ate twice as much ice cream every other day.

Did any smokers stay smoke free...

lose any weight?

Did Shrub finally get a GF?

WUG?

4) defenitly posting less, not my *choice* but it's ok.

Didn't post in original thread but I'm eating no fast or processed foods and I've cut way back on pills...down to 1/day or less. I'm losing weight and feeling good.

Quit smoking cold turkey on Jan. 9. No problems so far. Lift heavier, run faster and looking better and better. I don't avoid any triggers or anything like that. I just stick to one rule: if i put something in my mouth, I don't set it on fire.

Nice work! I have gone all month with no alcohol, dramatically changed my diet and I am going to the gym each work day to do cardio ( shoulder is screwed so no lifting for awhile) and I am down almost 20 lbs and feel great. Short term goal is 50Lbs so I am well on my way and feel great both mentally and physically.

Get a job that is actually going to help my career, even if it means taking a bit of a pay cut in the short term. (Obv i would rather get paid more but is unlikely i would get a job paying more) - 9 Havent got anything but i am working hard to try and find jobs. The only problem is is that my current job probably pays me a lot more than i should be getting so it is hard to walk away from. The only thing against it is that it wont really benefit me greatly in my career and doesnt have a great chance to move up in the co.

Save �x (not really sure how much yet. Trying to work out how much i can realistically save per month) Prob something like 6k - 8 I have already save 1k but that has just happened more than i made an effort to. Just didnt spend as much through january and worked a bit more. So in terms of my target, great, but it wont be that easy every month. Actually it is slightly less than that as i have just booked to go to Milan for Arsenal's CL game

Until my knee is sorted, swim at least 3 times a week. - 7 Havent really been able to. have been at least once a week and sometimes 2 or 3 but i just havent really had the chance to go as much as i would like

Suspend my Gym membership until i can actually use it again (should of done this about 2 months ago) - 10 done

Actually try and stick to these for once -9 By far the best i have ever done for resolutions

For Feb I will try to do 50 situps a day. I am a big guy so that is plenty to commit too to begin with. Thanks for the motivation sandman.

Im actually worse off than when i started this month.

What i was to cut down on, ive increased.
What i was to do more of, ive stopped

Resolved to spend a bit more time on my doubles, and my flute and clarinet chops are coming along pretty good. I found if i keep my instruments assembled beside my desk instead of packing them away all the time, they're much more likely to get a regular work out. Cool story bro.
