New Year's Resolutions 2014
 

Having been struggling with unexpected and prolonged psychological issues after finishing treatment almost a year ago, I have found myself at times being a miserable, nasty, self-pitying, bitchy person. 'At times' includes the past few days. I want to apologize to monster and to everyone else here because I've been miserable/ranting/pity-partying recently. Trying to get Zen and get over this.

Sorry, everyone.

My resolution is to appreciate every day in 2014.

for 1.. 2 be an all around more loving person..
for 2.. 2 be a little more accepting of people I don't understand.
for 3.. 2 be a little more sensitive in things regarding race and people of a different feather
for 4.. 2 quit smoking mj and ciggs as well

Don't be hard on yourself Ortho.
You're definitely a success story.

No resolutions from me this year.
There's too much raw and new and exposed.
2015, if I male it, might be better. 2014 is probably just going to be a transition of one kind or another.

I've been trying to eat more healthy and exercise more since I got some lab results back in August. I just got some follow up labs back yesterday that showed what I'm doing is definitely moving the numbers in the right direction. They are almost in the normal range. Woo hoo!

So anyway, I'm going to continue to eliminate sweets, cut back on carbs, fill up on salads with meals, and exercise more. Because it's working. And I don't seem to be losing any more weight, which is awesome. I was worried about my weight loss. I am a bit skinnier than I want, but I can accept it.

I don't do New Years resolutions, because I don't think they work. This is a life resolution that happens to coincide with New Years, because it's when my labs came back.

I'm not a 20 year old any more. I resolve to watch what I eat and exercise.

I'm not too big on resolutions but I do have a general goal of increasing my fitness level over this year for both health and to increase my chances of being successful at the Veteran 50 level in fencing. I also want to put a dent in my several wood butcher projects.

I like your approach glatt and I adopt it for my own. We share goals too, better eating habits, more exercise. And Griff, I have a new (to me) wood butcherer I'm dying to rehab so I can butcher some wood of my own, a DeWalt RAS (radial arm saw), circa 1953. And getting SonofV up to cruising altitude in school. He'll be doing all the flapping, I'm going be carroting and sticking and mentoring for all I'm worth.

Then I'm gonna get a job.

Then I'm gonna have some fun.

I am the Cat.

How about I don't deploy anymore, are you with me?

Yeah, I got take better care of my body.

I'm not doing it because of New Years, but I need to lose 20. I've never weighed this much before nor been so sedentary. An arm injury has been bothering me for almost a year tendons in the elbow ... something like that. Soooooooo its more exercise, disc golf and better eating for me.

Cool, they're very useful.
How close to retirement are you?

I don't have the energy to sweat the small stuff this year. I will try to survive, with maybe a shred of human dignity intact.

Grif, when I return from A-stan I'll request to retire. I've been in for 22.5 years right now. So I'm looking at summer of 2015. I am very excited to move on to the next portion of my life.

Hope it's a smooth out, Joe.:thumb:

You're pretty young and fit Joe, it'll be cool watching you do the next big thing.
