2012 resolutions

KateJ10 · December 2011

Last new Year's, my resolution was to floss every day (instead of never) and while I haven't done it every single day, I do it 90% of the time which I consider a success. I never have followed through on a resolution so well before.

This year- I have set a goal- to exercise a minimum of 3 times a week. I honestly want to work towards getting an awesome bikini body- so then I can fully evaluate if I would rather make some sacrifices to have a bikini body, or if I would be happier when I am lazy and gain back the 10 or 15 pounds of cush. Not sure if it would be worth it to me to maintain that weight. But I would like the option of trying it!

Get to training missy! My goal is a full marathon by 2013. If we're both kicking butt by then, I'll drive my happy running butt to Fargo. But only if we can do celebratory post-race BWW

I always wondered that too Nebbster. I mean, why run a 5k when you could just have a 3 mile race? Does the 5 and the 10 just mentally make it feel like more?

Because 10k sounds cooler than 6.214m

but why is it used for races and thats it, you know what i mean?

AllAboutTheBenjamin · December 2011

Omg YES ANNA.

Nebb, I have no idea why we call them 5k or 10k. When I ran my 10k, there were mile markers - not kilometer markers!

Maybe it makes us sound more badass, because we're stupid and think because the numbers are bigger in the metric system it sounds like more work. Like maybe it sounds more impressive to run 10k instead of 6.2 miles?

i think because the race distances were first popularized outside the US in countries that recognize that metric makes so much more sense than our silly miles and pounds measurements.

i don't get it either. I should probably look up why the measurements are the way they are.

1 kilometer = 1000 meters. Makes complete sense
1 miles = 5280 feet. That makes no sense.

Silly Americans.

Because we're lazy, and we want to run 10 of something instead of 6 of something. Clearly k is better if you're physically moving yourself there.

I have no friggin' clue. I've always wondered that, too. I figure it's just easier to say "I'm running a 10k this weekend" as opposed to "I'm running a 6.2 mile race this weekend". When most people say they're running a 5k or 10k, it's generally referring to a race, rather than training. KWIM?

LesPaul · December 2011

raynes - I asked for NROL4W for Christmas. DH was pleasantly surprised I wanted it, so I'm sure he'll be supportive. I've done strength training before and loved it. Maybe I'll treat myself to a FitBit too . . . hmmmm

Celles · December 2011

We also use the metric system for 2-litre bottles of soda.

That blew H's mind.

LesPaul · December 2011

I guess 2 litres sounds cooler than 2.12 quarts.

raynes · December 2011

Yay more FitBits!!

Also, clearly, metric wins. The imperial unit system is just silly. Next thing you silly Amiercan's will be going out to run a furlong.

ccdaisy · December 2011

Get in shape.

Eat better.

Promote and expand my buisness.

Communicate better with everyone.

Be flexible in all things.

Work on my actual OCD..research better meds.

Be happy no matter what.

mehgank · December 2011

My goals for 2011 were to pay for the wedding in full by ourselves (which we did), start doing yoga (which I did, but not regularly), and pay off at least one credit card (which I did). Kinda proud of those.

I had this resolution and made the mistake of telling DH about it. I didn't keep up with it and he reminds me often.

[Deleted User] · December 2011

My resolutions in 2011 were to release my fourth book (which I did), start exercising (kind of but not really, I hardly ever exercise), and work on myself (stil a work in progress). Overall, I did okay.

DodgersBride · December 2011

Save more money
Build my credit
Plan a wedding
Do some minor renovations
Be healthier and drop some weight.(Working on that now with the help of a special lady even though this viral infection has side line me.)

Nebb · December 2011

It starts to significantly die down by the end of February or mid-March. Which is weird, because after 6-8 weeks of working out regularly it should be easier to keep up once routines are established. FAIRWEATHER GYM-GOERS.

mehgank · December 2011

I hate that, too AATB. And usually the New Years Resolutioners do the most BS workouts I've ever seen. It's almost as if they're just going to the gym for the sake of going. They're not actually putting in an honest effort. Maybe that's why they don't become habit and they're just a fleeting endeavor.

Nebb - that's hilarious about the make a sandwich thing. I wonder if his next goal is "Buy more Coke Zero".
