I didn't make any, because I knew I would have broken them.

I have made them in the past. Not always successful but last year 09 I told my self I will have a full time job before 2010. I did get that and i started the 4th of Jan. My New Years Res this year are try to complete redemption sets, pay off credit cards, and get in shape.

I have resolved to stop buying pop. I could have described myself as an addict previously (especially to that sweet nectar of heaven, Mountain Dew) and while I decided I wouldn't be able to handle cutting it off completely, I am resolved to stop paying for it. If it's offered for free, I'll take it, but that's it. That way, I will forego the 20 oz. bottle that I had close to daily last year, stop buying it in restaurants, and not take advantage of sales on 12 packs. The reasons are many, but chiefly it helps me be healthier, and save money. I don't even want to think about how much I spent on it last year.

I also want to lose around thirty pounds before my wedding in late July, and to start learning the violin. (Not trying to copy you Matt, but I honestly have had those in my mind for quite some time). My fiancee has played violin for 12 years, and she has said that she will teach me. She's also a workout fanatic, so I have done a lot more of that with her lately as well.

Finally, I am resolving to watch less TV. Having cable in my apartment the past year has not helped, and I've wasted a lot of valuable time watching useless TV. I have decided the two or three shows that I want to watch this year, but other than those, and football games through the postseason, I am cutting out other TV.

My resolution was to not make a resolution!

Wait....

Crud.

But seriously, I just try to better myself day by day rather than take a huge weight on my back after new years.

Pretty much why I can't stand New Year's resolutions....people get bogged down by the New Year's part.  When you can make a change any day, and when you fail then you can pick back up the next day and start a fresh.

For those with weight resolutions:  I want to strongly suggest watching the Biggest Loser.  It is super-inspirational while at the same time getting great hints and tips to live more healthily.

I don't normally do resolutions either, but this year I did one.  I decided to read the Bible in a year using one of those plans.  I read the Bible before, but this will be a fun way to read the entire Bible slowly over the entire year, instead of chucks at a time.

Nice. I'd make sure to find one that doesn't do things in a scattered manner, i.e. read this Genesis passage, this Matthew passage, and this Psalms passage today. The books of the Bible were written as wholes, and I find that I read them better when I read them that way instead of split up into small pieces.

How's that going for you Scott? 

I made a resolution to fix 2009 in 2010. Though I would have made this resolution no matter what, the timing worked out that I can say it like that

My NYR's:

1) Grow more spiritually
2) Get my eyebrow pierced (I've wanted this for the longest time. lol)
3) Go and see Skillet one more time and Julian Drive in concert
4) Get down a few pants sizes (this being the biggest one of them all XD)
5) Gather my thoughts down on paper a little more often in form of song or poetry....(yes i write songs and poems. This is a major outlet for me.)
6) Not have a resolution that started with a G.
