Resolutions poll

I recently read that most people actually do not make resolutions for the new year.

Do you make New Year's resolutions?  If no, why?

(If no, I guess you're done with the poll now, haha)

Which resolutions did you keep in 2013?

Which did you break in 2013?

What are your 2014 resolutions?


Have you ever made a completely unrealistic resolution?  What was it?

Re: Resolutions poll

  • I don't make resolutions. If I really want to do something i'll do it because I want to not because I wrote that I would on a piece of paper.

    at the beginning of 2013 I just vowed to stay strong on my exercising/healthy eating and I have.

     

  • I don't really make any resolutions....but like Andrea's vow from last year...maybe I'll give it a whirl for 2014!

  • Do you make New Year's resolutions?  If no, why? Not usually. Sometimes I do. Sometimes I don't.

    Which resolutions did you keep in 2013? All I wanted on January 1, 2013 was to have my baby. And I did that LOL

    Which did you break in 2013? N/A

    What are your 2014 resolutions? I need to get better at eating better and making time to exercise (Isn't this everyone's?!) I also need to stop taking my anger about stupid things out on H.


    Have you ever made a completely unrealistic resolution?  What was it? Probably the exercise thing. Everyone knows that I would rather nap...

  • I usually don't. If there's something I really need to change in my life, I try to work on it anytime through out the year.

  • Do you make New Year's resolutions? If no, why?

    I do. I like goals and challenges

    (If no, I guess you're done with the poll now, haha)

    Which resolutions did you keep in 2013?

    We kept our financial resolution of sticking to a budget and using a snowball to pay off debt. We paid off a student loan, personal loan, court settlement and 3 credit cards.

    Which did you break in 2013?

    Working out consistently

    What are your 2014 resolutions?

    Jeff and I both want to be healthier. He said he'll go to the gym with me (finally). I'm going to make healthier lunches and dinners. I'm thinking about reorganizing my recipes binder and take out the unhealthy stuff. That will be only on occasion.

    My anniversary board is doing monthly resolutions which is cool. Like get back in touch with a friend, try something on your pinterest boards, try new food, etc.

    Have you ever made a completely unrealistic resolution? What was it?

    Yea I always had unhealthy Weight goals pretty much my whole life.

  • I normally don't make resolutions. But I thought I'd try this year. I want to try to be more organized in life!! :) I need to get into a habit of straightening up a little each night to reduce the clutter by the weekend. Also work on my menu planning. I'd like to do 2 weekday a time

    Actually I'm copying this....since I hate failing, maybe if I make it a resolution I'll stick to it!

  • The only reason I've ever made a "formal" resolution in the past was because I planned on having my students do it and I needed something as an example, haha.  And even then, it was more like a "these are my hopes and dreams for the coming year" kind of thing.

    That said, I was very much hoping that we would paint in 2013 and that did not happen.  Maybe this year...
  • I dont do resolutions because I have terrible track records with them. But my main goal of 2014 is to stick to a strict budget and save as much money as possible for our down payment on the new house. I would also like to continue to do small projects to make our current house look better for potential buyers.

    I am also striving to be a better wife and mother and not lose my cool so often over things that are minor.
