New Years Resolutions

I will strive to ask for help when I need it

I will learn how to say "No" sometime in my life

I will finish my journey towards better health by reducing my weight even further and returning to a more active lifestyle

And finally, I will continue to appreciate with awe and wonder the people who haved deigned to share their lives with me.

 

hmmmm....
i strive to get involved in more things.
i hope to drop a few pounds.
i will get invloved in more FF stuff.
i will be nicer to my family even though they are kinda stupid and illogical.
and i will try and get a better job.

 

I resolve that I try to stay away from New Year's resolutions.

 

im gonna try not to be fat this year

 

I resolve to be more patient and understanding even when I feel the person is being 'illogical' (my nice version of 'no common sense').

I want to be more physically active up to and including working out with my Mom's trainer once a week.

Anf finally, I resolve to spend less money on the 'wants' and more on the 'needs'.

 

make more money to spend

 

Enjoy the German scenery
Hit up Sweden at least once(Swedish Ladies)

 

I'm not going to make any so I don't break any!

 

But breaking stuff is half the fun. Now you know, and knowing is half the battle.

 

Hmm... well I am going to contiue dropping the pounds... I've managed five so far

And I think I am going to try and get involved in more social activities at Wyoming... life as a insocial person is no fun

 

I'm going back to school to study art, taking guitar lessons (already scheduled my first one), finding some where & some way to play my drums often (help me DH!!), learning
more about how to use my computer(bought the book), try to travel some (got my ticket for Ireland in March ),snowboard a bit, hike a lot, start new relationships, let go of old ones, learn to cook a little and eat more food, have fun fun fun and basically just get healthy. Mentally and physically.

In other words, IM GOING TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!!!! (well, my little world. )
"the same thing we do every night!"

 

I want to go to Ireland too!

 

Ouch. These are always hard to decide on: I want to aim high, but at the same time, I want to be realistic.

1) I want to try to do better at corresponding with friends - I've gotten seriously bad the past year or two, to the point that I have a friend emailing my old grad advisor to see if something bad had happened to me.

2) I want to keep trying to do my best at work, rather than getting frustrated with things and people and allowing that to get in the way of getting things done.

3) I want to actually *finish* some projects at work!

4) More hiking sounds like a lovely idea. (Hey, AHPR, want to start a RMFF hiking group? Come on guys... it's great for that exercise thing! ^_^)

 

1 Get more exercise. It does a body good.

2 Get rich. It also does a body good.

3 Try to ditch acrylics and start working with oils (I've heard they are more forgiving)

4 Start on my "Great American Novel" I only have a 5 page treatment so far....

5 Jump out of an airplane

6 Ride a mechanical bull

Yeehah!!!!!

 

Lisa and I would be up for that hiking thing, we try to hit some kind of trail every Sat., and now that football is winding down........

Oh, haven't made any official resolutions but I have gained a "few" pounds, so hopefully I will get back into all of my PANTS!

 

I'm thinking of trying to make the trek up to Hanging Lake again. 2 miles nearly straight up! Not sure if I'll make it this year, but I'd like to give it a try (I'll be carrying a lot less of me up the side of that cliff this time around, so I'm hoping it will be easier )

 

Hiking is great exercise. I'd love to join you all whenever you go. Just keep me off the big rocks, I have a bad habit of falling off of them......

 

hiking sounds fun. never get to do it much though.

 

I resolve to not bite the heads off of chickens and leave the parts on grade school play grounds. That and the killing thing I really gota stop that befor I get caught







Just kidding??.. or am I

 

This is hard...

1) I'll get a hold on my language
2) I'll reach for the stars in more that name
3) I'll gain some weight -20lbs to skinny is't fun.
4) I'll get a hold on my touge and not sharpen it so much.
5) I'll realize the only way to have fun is to disregard the past
6) I'll not try so hard
8) I'll stop being so sharp with my family.
9) I'll get an F on something and not feel guilty.
10) I'll let go...

PZ- If you wanta hike hannging lake call us up. Phoenx, Jedi_Guy16, and i are locals. We'll be glad to escorte you. It gets easier with each try. There is also only one part that is strait up. I know that trail like the back of my hand. All ya need is some water and a snack and your ready to go. If you really want to see it at its best go just before dusk. The waterfalls are beautifl when the darkness hits.

The EU hikking club would be fun... just as long as we stay in Colorado I might get to go.

 

1.Lift more weights
2.drink more alcohol
3.have more fun
4.spend as much as i can on junk while i can
5.drive faster
6.get banned from here before my birthday
7.sell my star wars figures

That's about it

 

One more resolution - how could I have forgotten this one?? Lose weight. I managed to lose some between Thanksgiving and Xmas vacation, but then gained all but 1 lb back while in Calif!

Where is Hanging Lake? I don't think I've heard of it. When you say straight up, do you mean the trail is steep, or that it involves rock climbing?

If people are really interested, I think a hiking group would be great. It's always more fun to hike with a group. C_SF - I'm sure we'd stay in Colorado. Mistress - I second the motion to stay away from places easy to fall from!

 

Hanging Lake is in Glenwood Canyon (ie Glenwood Springs). It is a hiking trail and you gain 1,000 feet in elevation in 1.2 miles (2.4 miles round trip). Check the link at the top for more details. I'll bring my pix w/ me to the next meet (from my trip a few years ago - before my serious health problems). I can tell you that it is not an easy hike and last time it took me 2-1/2 hours to get up the trail (3/4 of an hour to come down ).

I'm looking at sometime in May. As an overnight trip (4-5 hour drive to get to Glenwood Canyon) it is really fun. I'd like to make the hike early in the morning, because I am told there aren't as many people on the trail (very popular trail). So, drive up the day before visit Redstone and Marble, get a great dinner in Glenwood Springs. Hit the trail early the next morning, and maybe relax in the Hot Springs before making the trek back to Denver in the late afternoon.

 

wow that trail sounds really cool.

 

Thanks for the link - it sounds like a very interesting hike! I didn't realize that Glenwood Springs was that far away... still, it sounds nice. I especially like the description of the extra humidity and the extra plant life as a result of it. I've missed seeing ferns and moss!

Maybe we should start an RMFF hiking thread?
