I took it upon myself to join a local gym, and over a year's time, lost 30 pounds and lowered my blood sugars...part of my diabetic regimen.

Every year I resolve to be less wasteful throughout the year. It works for me most of the time. No more buy one get one 50% off. I rarely use the second item or forget where I put it. So I guess that's a resolution.

Not really. I always am trying to diet and have good habits. Every year I think: “this could be the best year of my life!”

Because it's the truth. I stopped even making them about 10 years ago.

I don't make resolutions i can't keep. I set goals for myself a little at a time and do my best to reach them, don't usually set very far out. 3-6 months.

I haven't because I don't make them. If doing or not doing something seems imporrtant to me, I don't care if it's New Years or not. I will make a plan on how to do or stop doing something, and make the necessary changes. I haven't kept any New Years Resolutions, but I haven't broken any either.

I don't make them, so I can't break them.

Not sure if anyone's actually cooking "out," but we're headed to an outdoor potluck gathering this afternoon.

I really have trouble with background noise. Including music. If I try to play music, it doesn't take long for me to get agitated and turn it off.

As a retired teacher, I spent most of my work life getting things done with plenty of noisy activity all around. You have to focus!
