New year's resolutions. Are you sticking to any of them?
I try to revive old things I used to do and enjoyed. I'm trying scrap booking again this year
Quoting yourspecialkid:I didn't make any...is it okay if I respond anyway?
I quit making them a few years ago. Instead I use Lent to focus on something important. Two years ago I gave up soda...I drank at least a can a day...I rarely drink a soda now. Last year I gave up 2 hours a week of doing something/depended on the day that I found pleasurable but a waste of time and started walking instead. I am still doing that. I haven't decided what I am giving up this year yet...thinking about doing the pleasurable thing again..and adding another activity..this time involving my kids.
Well, I made the usual "to lose weight" resolution, but I added the "exercise" addendum to it this year. So far I have stuck to it and am down about 7 pounds.
I also made a resolution to use more coupons. I have always just purchased what I wanted for groceries, with no thought to cost as long as my family was fed and had the foods they liked/wanted. With the costs of food going up so much the last couple of years I have noticed my grocery bill go up and up, so I decided to make a concerted effort to use more coupons to help bring down the costs. An extreme couponer I AM NOT, but so far so good, saved $22 on my last shopping trip.
I have others of a more personal/religious/spiritual nature that I am sticking with as well.
Usually, I'm not great with resolutions, so I am pretty pleased so far this year.
Awesome!

Keep going to boot camp 4 days a week...and yes, I am keeping it. So far, been keeping it for a year and a half. I didn't add dieting because I know I would fail.
Have you tried hypnosis? I only know two folks who did, but they both stopped smoking and haven't returned to the habit and it has been over a decade since the treatments.

no, I always manage to quit on my own, but end up social smoking! I might tell my friends to try that so they will stop smoking ha :)
