Yes, I just came back from a WW meeting that got my head into a more realistic resolution that is do-able. I have been doing Weight Watchers for a year as of Jan. 30th, and wanted to reach my final goal by then. (A loss of 35 total lbs.) Well, I can’t hit it.

I have lost 25 1/2 lbs. so far, so if I lose another 2 by that date, I will be within the right “decade”. A good enough goal step. Decades are when you go from, say, 130 lbs. to 129, you are in the decade of the 120s. So it looks nicer on the scale and you feel better. Actually, if I can be 2/10 of a pound by next Saturday, 1/7/11, I will hit the next decade and be happier! (I am there already 1st thing in the AM undressed, but they INSIST I weigh in with clothes on! LOL)

Resolution #2: Join the Y for one month and work out to see if it helps Resolution #1.

Ahem. Sarita. What’s yours? Hmmmmm????
(And Samantha resolves to make her slave clean out her litter pan more often.)

Here’s Mr. Bunny’s resolutions:
1. Break into the treat bag at least once per week
2. Make the humans lose track of how many raisins they’ve fed me as much as I possibly can
3. Put up a bigger fuss when the human tries to clip my nails
4. Break into the forbidden parts of the house

And here’s Ms. Rabbit’s resolutions:
1. Rip up the entire hallway carpet
2. Make every inch of the hallway smell like my poop and pee
3. Get as many licks from Mr. Bunny as possible
4. Destroy at least 5 willow sticks per day

I have resolutions too, but most of them are personal.

GOOD GOING PAM

I now work at a juice bar, and there is a girl that I work with. She has lost 50 pounds. She said that the gym and the juice bar will get busier in the New Year until March. People make resolutions to lose weight, but get disappointed because results don’t show fast.. well It takes about 8 weeks or so. It may be a few pounds, but they just burned literally thousands of calories to lose those pounds!!

My resolution is to get back to school. My dad and I will be moving out January 16th into an apartment! I’ll likely begin school in February or March. I want to settle in, decorate and get comfortable. I’ll be spending my time at home as I will be doing school online, so it makes sense, eh?

I want to get another tattoo Is that a resolution? Here is the general sketch. I got my friend to base the body off Chacha.. I love it. It has flames, yes. It isn’t the final draft yet. He has to shade some areas.

I also need to get my license. I was learning in my dad’s Ford Focus, but the cylinder broke  My dad bought a metallic PT cruiser. He wants to get the Focus fixed when we get the money from the house sale. Not only is the cylinder broken but the steering wheel alignment is off  he is going to get both fixed for me. I am used to driving in that car.

I am waiting patiently to get my requested hours at the juice bar in the gym. I am tired of working 2 jobs. It is really tough. So, my other resolution is to quit my first job (the one I don’t like and mistreated me) and be at the juice bar full time.

Mine are to eat better, and try to keep the apartment cleaner. I am horrible at both lol.

My resolutions are to go back to school and to get a better job.

you did great RabbitPam. I only lost 18 lbs all year but I figure that’s 18 less than I usually have on January 1. Since my son is older now and eats pretty much on his own I resolve to cook Atkins more for myself and lose some more.

I hate exercise for exercise’s sake so I’ve volunteered to help with the evening routine at the vets once a week. Every dog gets a turn around the grounds and that’s a lot of walking. (my gift to myself was a good pedometer as an incentive)

I want to start back to programming classes or at least study my books more in the evening.

Most of all, I want to build my ‘Petsy’ inspired outdoor bunny run and bond Dammitcharlie with the trio. I’ve been working with him and Pringles and really have to remember to wear gloves because Charlie has given my some nasty bites keeping him from getting Prinlges.

Lolli’s resolutions are:

1. Avoid the touching at all possible cost.
2. Avoid the touching at all possible cost.
3. Avoid the touching at all possible cost.
4. Look as adorable as she can so she gets more treats.
(She’s already been implementing 1-3 and always manages to look adorable and get treats. So she won’t be working hard. lol)

Mine is basically to lose a bit of weight and get in shape. lol

Lose weight – like many people I need to shift the stone I’ve put on since I got married. Hopefully I can eat a bit less and move a bit more.

Keep going with my degree and sign up to the next course after I finish the current one, don’t leave a five year gap again!

– Annette

calvin and hobbes!    Love it.

I’m still thinking on mine Pam. I’m thinking one will be to take more naps though.

Sarita, I cannot stress how important these decisions are. So maybe you’d better sleep on it. ZZZzzzzzzzzz

Thanks for the encouragement, you guys.
I have fulfilled #2 today, and joined the Y.

I suppose I should make resolution #3: go workout at the Y. Details, details….

wow! awesome job, RP!

My resolutions are to work on not letting people guilt me into doing things that I don’t want to do, and getting my jewelry and knitting back into a non-online shop.

To explain the first one, I’m one of those people who lets everyone else sort of walk all over me. I’ve been working on this for years, but maybe this is the year I really toughen up : D

As for the second one, I had my stuff in a shop in Florida when we were living there, but they went out of business because of the economy. The owner became my friend after I met her, so it was sort of sad. I’d love to get my stuff in a shop here in Colorado now, as well as keeping it in my etsy shop!

Cheers to everyone’s resolutions!

I want to be more active- eat better and lose some weight.

Not have as many days that feel like I really got NOTHING done.

And become a better horseback rider- I would like to do some judged trail ride competitions and maybe go camping a couple of weekends with other horses and riders.  (Kinda weirded out about the whole camplng/no air conditioning/no real shower for a weekend thing).

Oh- and last but not least- to not fall off my horse at all in 2011.  I fell off a horse 3 times toral in 2010- 2 of them was on my own horse!  Bailey is great and doing better and better with maturity- she will be 6 in January- but holy smokes, she is tall and I don’t bounce back like I did when I was a kid!!!  ( I am 36yrs old)

1) Get the house completely de-cluttered and cleaner

2) Attempt and hopefully succeed to bond three bunnies

Basically I want to simplify my life enough that making memories with my animals is my main pastime. I have a Walt Whitman complex.

I had started a resolutions thread last week but it disappeared!

My ressies for 2011:

-Lose weight (of course). I have lots of videos and now have a Wii so no excuses like “I can’t exercise, it’s snowing!”
-Be a HEALTHY vegetarian
-Get out to the barn more
-Keep rabbit room clean
-Make more time for my friends, they deserve it

Hi

Brittany I want to get a tattoo of Cotton.   A small one.  I made a sketch it came out pretty good.    I still have to work on it though.  The chest and front feet didn’t come out good.   Your friend did a real good job  with your sketch.

I have a tattoo of a mermaid riding a dolphin on my left shoulder.  Maybe  I will get someone to take a pic of it and post it sometime.  

I also want 3 other tattoos.  Small ones on my arm.  Cotton with his name on my left ankle.

Am getting frustrated that  the things I want to do are against my religion and they say you burn in hell and so does the tattooer.  Well I don’t think God is that narrow minded.  

I am going to do it anyways. 

Also I used to make resolutions to have more fun than the year b4.  For 2 years I used to make that resolution.  Both years I got rear ended.  The 2nd year twice even

So I never make that resolution anymore.   Don’t need anymore accidents. lol   Plus after I quit making that resolution the accidents stopped.

YUP YUP YUP Same as mine!!

Eat better and keep my room cleaner lol!

oh and hopefully finish off twix’s agility trianing, re-litter train hershey and possibly work on some agility with her, and by the end of the year have both bunnies confertably in x-pens INSIDE the house.. hershey got moved from her x-pen because i couldnt keep her contained to it.. i triend EVERYTHING!!

Hersheys:
1. earn my way back into the x-pen so i can be houdini again
2. be all cute for slave so she’ll give me treats instead of trying to make me earn them (wont have to work hard cause i already dont  do my tricks) 
3. Get slave to stop trying to teach me stuf.. IT DOESNT WORK!

Twix’s:
1. do more tricks so slave will feed me more treats..
2. break into the pellet box’s
3. Keep my double x-pen.

mine are:

-to use the gym membership I just signed up for haha. I want to lose weight obviousy for cosmetic purposes, but more importantly because I can’t jog for two minutes without wanting to keel over and die… and what if one day I need to run away from something? o.O

-stop procrastinating and putting things off to the side. I was supposed to brush up on my Korean years ago, and I wanted to be able to really talk to my grandmother. she passed away a few days after christmas and I realized I shouldn’t have waited so long.

-somehow get another tattoo in [thanks for reminding me, brittany! haha]. this may take some time, since my mother is apparently on the verge of a heart attack because each tattoo has always been “the last one”… =X

angie-la, I’m sorry to hear of your Grandmothers passing. Sending Peace (((vibes))) to you.

still waiting for Sarita’s list 😉

 I have started food logging (something, along with new year resolutions, that I have never done before) to help me control my weight. I’m beginning to wonder if part of the reason it’s reputed to be so successful is that you don’t eat so much as you can’t be bothered logging it.

I love the tattoo drawing Brittany. I also am getting a rabbit tattoo this year, I’m going to do a “rabbit in the moon” tattoo for Chinese Year of the Rabbit. I want it to be a realistic drawing as well, not necessarily of Mr. Bun-Bun we’ll see. I keep all my tattoos on my back to spare my dad from any heart attacks.

I love reading resolutions and I am pretty good at keeping them.

Last year my resolution was to lose weight and stop drinking pop…well I lost 47lbs and I’m now going into my second year without drinking pop.
However I did gain 20lbs of that 47 back, LOL so this year was to lose it again.

This isn’t a resolution but I would like some more tats…I have 2 now and I would like my whole right forearm covered, I would LOVE to have 2 sleeves done but I doubt I’ll ever get it, I would like my boys names with stars and vines, etc all on my forearm, I planned on getting it last Summer but I just never did, so maybe this one I’ll get it done.

lots of people have tats resolutions.   lol    hide them so your parents dont go bonkers lol.

I can relate with Fouad going bonkers.  I told him one day I was going out that I was going to get my nose n navel pierced.   rofl I came back home he wouldn’t look at my face and said he didn’t like my stomache.  I thought he meant cuz I was fat.  lol  

Finally he realized I had no new piercings   lol.  

I also have to get 2 jewelries fixed as well.   Ok so more resolution get jewelry fixed

My two resolutions are in conflict. I’d like to get more sleep so go to bed earlier, but I also want to go for more late night walks to see the stars and hear the sounds outside.
