New Year's Resolutions ????

[mad pierrot]

Of course!

Damn, 5 miles a day? You would run me into the ground.

And, I've had a hard time getting into it myself. I used to lift weights alot, and it's been, uh, strange watching myself lose so much weight as I prepare. I've lost about 20 pounds since I started running seriously again. I feel like that skinny kid I used to be back in High School.

I need to quit making excuses for not going to the gym in the morning. For many years, I have been exercising regularly with a combination of cardio and weight lifting. For the past 4 years, I have been really consistent in getting my carcass moving early in the morning and getting to the gym 6 days a week with 3 days dedicated to cardio and abs, and 3 days with the iron.

In July, when we were on vacation in Mexico, I turned my left ankle while running before sunrise one morning. This was not a serious injury, but it did stop me from running or stairmaster for a while. Shortly thereafter and back at home, I strained my left shoulder from getting a bit too aggressive (which is a eupemism for getting a little stupid) on chest day, and going for a max bench press. Having been down this road before, I knew what to do, and I really cut back on all exercise for a while, concentrating on rehab. Now I am healthy again, and have no excuses, but in the past couple of months, I have wimped out most days, only going there two or three days a week.

No more excuses. I know what I need to do, and it is just a matter of doing it. I am logging off right now and going to the gym.

In rough, gym rat voice...

"How much ya bench?"

I torn a pec wrestling.... Not a pretty sight, I was out a whole season recovering.

Can I come too?

I used to run an average of 5 miles a day. After having been on about an 8 year leave of absence(walking, but not jogging), I'm trying to start back. It's not as hard as I thought it would be, because it seems that some of the endurance I built up back then is still there, but it's definitely not easy. I can see it's going to take awhile for me to get back into the groove...

I've never been one for running, but I love to walk, and get in an average of three to four miles a day. During the workday, I do a couple of miles at lunch. Works up a good appetite! I also bike when I can, epecially during spring and summer. Lots of fun!

Jeff, what state? Cause if you guys have Mega Millions and not Powerball, you and me'll be fighting.

Seriously, mine's to lose at least 15 pounds, without gaining it back. I've lost 10 in the past two months and kept it gone, so this shouldn't be too bad a problem at all. (I'm skinny now, but that extra 15 gone would be my "perfect" weight.)

I'm in Pennsylvania, Brenna, so I guess I'm safe from your fists of fury!

Good one with the smile naturally. I can't smile, it just doesn't look right.

LOL!!! My wife usually goes with me to the gym, so I think that focusing on the girls while I am there would get me into trouble although the scenery on some days certainly does make being there a more pleasant experience

 

[sabro]

No resolutions this year. Although I do need to lose a lot of weight. (Or I may not be able to make resolutions next year.)

I'm off to shovel about a foot of new snow. It's cheaper than the gym.

tell your wife that 'if you want me to be healthier, just let me stare at women's breasts'

a German study shows that staring at women's breasts for 10 minutes a day would help to reduce the chances of heart attack and strokes
A Goodbye From Cool Running!

 

[mizerable_d]

stop being cold hearted and burn all UGS

Is that true? Well, hot damn! Let me stare at Dolly Parton or Anna Nicole Smith for a few hours and I'll be healthier than a dozen horses!

Very interesting. I wonder what works for women? :?

My resolutions are:

Keep my job.
Write to my family and friends in Japan more.
&
Be a bit more girlie and be interested in fashion and stuff...

 

[sadakoyamamura]

I'm not one for new year resolutions. I can keep a promise to other persons but to myself it seems hard. There will always be excuses not to exercise, excuses to eat and eat, excuses not to study... blah blah.

 

[Ma Cherie]

mine is.....

My New Year resolution is.......don't make resolutions

 

[necrozombie]

my new years resolution was to get through this stoopid anthropology class without dropping it and... *thinks* i'm pretty sure the other one was to actually get around to watching the last two episodes of escaflowne..

..i already know what happens.. i just never got around to watching it. ;_;
