Don't be sad, I was being positive. You're intelligent and immensely humorous. Me laugh long time reading your posts. 🙂
Hey GemFire! I'm firey Gem too! Love that whipped up lava!
That's funny about your list, such a Gem thing to do and then get distracted, lol. With the three you have coming up, you should write them down and then give yourself a timeline or what te necessary steps are to achieve the final goal!
For instance:
1. Run 75 miles. - I know exactly from my doorstep what a mile is in my neighborhood, also two and three miles.If I don't feel like going out one day, I'll make up for it the next. Typically, I like to knock out two to three each run, but sometimes I'll go out and just do one.... pretty much just to prove a point to myself.
2. Climb 250 flights of stairs. - I've thought about the places I go that have stairs and then at the end of month one if I'm not at at least 75 flights I'll just go run bleachers.
3. Complete 15 boot camp fitness classes at my local gym. - The schedule is printed out and on my refridgerator. I've also highlighted the times that will be modt convieniant for me. Then it's about picking one a week and scheduling sround it. Later, I'll throw in two somewhere here and there.
4. Park in the furthest spaces of parking lots. - Kinda already do this, but it's about making it a full time habit. It's hard when you pull into a parking lot and someone is backing out right up front liked you called ahead for prime parking!! PRINCESS PARKING!!!!
5. Daily affirmations when brushing my teeth. - They are written down and posted inside my medicine cabinent. I used to do affirmations all the time, but I really want to get back into it. So, I picked while brushing my teeth. I use a Sonicare toothbrush and brush two cycles - a total of four minutes. (I'm also dental hygene obsessed Lena, lol) So those four minutes are the perfect time to focus on each affirmation, repeating it over and over again.
6. Work sales goals. - I review these quarterly with my assistants and my boss. We discuss last quarters goals, achievements and success andfailures. We map out the next quarter based on the results from the previous quarter. We all have responsibilities to put things into action to achieve our goals.
The most important thing is to make REALISTIC goals and set things in place to help you achieve them. Track your progress and the steps you take to make it happen. Also, I cannot stress enough not letting other people influence your final decisions if it makes you uncomfortable! I've had friends say something like, "Why don't you

increase this goal to ________. You can do it by doing blah, blah, blah." I listen carefully to them and their reasoning, but ultimately I ask myself if it's a good plan and I can acheive it.
The thing about realistic goals is that they sould not only be achievable, they should be surpassable! There's nothing better than saying, "Not only did I set this goal, I met it, I beat it and I did ________ more!" That feeling is what will keep you working hard towards your goals.
Cheers Girl!

I prefer to make goals as opposed to resolutions. My goals are:
1) Exercise every day (unless physically unable because of illness) Even if it's for 20 minutes, I want to do something...yoga, Pilates, jogging...something!
2) Run 4 races (signed up for a 5K already)
3) Be more professional - by this I mean trying to gossip less, be less sarcastic and not be so snarky. My career is important and I want to maintain a good reputation.
4) This is a tough one but I need to get over a crush I've had the last year. It sort of goes with #3 because the crush is on my boss. We have become close in the last year (nothing has happened...have not gone out anywhere or anything like that) but I can see now that the boundaries are blurred. We sometimes text and we are the others sounding boards. Things have become increasingly flirty (most recently he said he would spank me for misbehaving lol) Because I am attracted to him, I tried to pretend it was nothing but I see now it is "something". I love being the one he turns to and I love the attention he pays me but ultimately I know we can never be and for the sake of my career, his career, and our friendship I have to try and interact with him only professionally. Ultimately I also have to accept that I can't be the one who makes him happy - I'm not his soulmate and whatever this is is preventing him from finding that person. If I truly love him I have to let him go...be an adult and move on.

I can't tell you now...that GemsRa isn't going to like you.
I highly doubt that she's a fan of manipulative, full of shit, cunts.
Oh baby, I like it when you get pissy. Bring that tatted ass over here and work it out on me. 😄

I don't know if he wants to kill me or fuck me.Probably both.
Who cares! Take both! Either way you know it'll be epic. Mmmmmnnnnn, Scorpios.
Mercury in Taurus -
I don't sugar coat ANYTHING. Ever.
People tend to listen to me.
I tend to be pretty rational..... unless it's about my love life. ::smh::
It lends to my profession beautifully, but it can also make me a deadly friend to have around. You fucking up? I'm telling you.

never made them, nor do i see the sense in making them...
Why?
if i wanted to change, i would just do it, no matter if it is tuesday or sunday...
yesterday was just another day... i dont see the need to do anything different today..click to expand
Sure, but isn't it nice to start a new year and memorialize it by setting personal goals? The whole.... starting fresh kind of thing?
Not saying you couldn't change other times, but this is an event that draws your attention to examining things TO change.
Hey, I'm mutable too, I get change, but I can appreciate the New Years resolutions if they are done in such a manner that is positive.

i guess im not goal oriented..
Touch?.
I find that shocking, but only because I am the opposite. Kinda like when people tell me they don't like chocolate, drinking until they wake up ditches, and generally being around people as opposed to being homebodies.
Different strokes.

Venus is in 00 Degrees Leo.
Nice. That makes PH, Shaks, 69 and now you😄
Ladies, ladies, I'm blushing!

I don't make resolutions per se, i.e a fixed quota of tasks that should be met. Instead, I meditate over the events of the past year and evaluate as objectively as I possiblely can - all BS aside - to try to identify what worked for me and what didn't, what needs to stop, what I can work on, be it personally, spiritually, academically, socially, etc.. and try to implement the best parts and delete the worst, and keep it moving into the new year.
Interesting. Do you journal this?
Heh, I like pretentious. 🙂 I'm a snarky ass bitch. I like feeling superior.
ARIES MOONERS!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm UUUUUUUUUUUNEEEEEEEEARTHING this thread! Not because it's where FireGem began her torrid love obsession with me, but because I wanted to check and see if anyone has been keeping track of theirs? Did anyone make any new ones later in the month?
Here's an update on mine:
My 2012 1st quarter resolutions:
1. Run 75 miles. Only at 21, been SLACKING, which means the next two months need a couple 10ks
2. Climb 250 flights of stairs. I ran bleachers..... ONCE, so that's 47 flights down, lol
3. Complete 15 boot camp fitness classes at my local gym. YAY! I've done 7 already
4. Park in the furthest spaces of parking lots. Still going strong, unless of course I hafta tinkles!
5. Daily affirmations when brushing my teeth. I kinda just quit on these, something's up and I need to try again
6. Work sales goals. Jan's sales were excellent even if we spent a lot of time cleaning up December's rush, but it's not to the 1/3 mark yet..... gotta get out there and PUSH IT!

Do you make resolutions? Do you keep them? Do you write them down to track your progress?
I like to make New Years resolutions, but only for a three month period.... feels more doable. Then, I'll either add on to them and revamp or lay out a whole new three month challenge. Sometimes personal, sometimes fitness related depending on where I am at.

(I would increase my flights of stairs, but I don't frequent places with stairs, like say, an office building. However, it's a great way to stay challeneged and keep an eye out to avoid the elevators.)
Previous things I have done to challenge myself were limiting tv watching, drinking a certain amount of water every day, tracking calories consumed, writing weekly letters to my grandmother, phone calls to mom, ALWAYS have work goals, etc. etc.
I keep track of my fitness goals in my phone in a notebook application. Writing down your goals and holding yourself accountable works! Also, setting realistic, achievable goals is important. Unrealistic goals actually demotivate you!

May I borrow a healthy dollop of that please? I'm in winter sloth mode. Usually don't wake up till spring.
LOL That's exactly what I do NOT need. I need fresh breeze, sunshine and energy all over the earth. Not insulating myself against the cold with an extra layer of blubber. 😛 Teasing the Bull with sour cream, shameless Gem. *shaking fist and larfing*
I make them and I keep em. Go me!
I know, I just looooove that song VB!
I actually gave up all carbs and am doing a quick flush trim thing..... IWANTPOTATOES!
(just a couple weeks peeps ((before I get slammed)) I know it's not healthy long term)

AHHHHSO! I have to do the moderation thing. Tried the denial thing in many forms and I wind up binging. Not cool. Still not at my goal, but it's in sight. 🙂
I was noticing your pics on that other website! You look great and have done some amazing work! Gooooooo guuuuuuuurl!
😄 Thankee! I've been working hard. No, the 'before' pics won't be going up, I cringe when I see them. Make me a sad ol' panda bear.

I know actual "before" pics aren't up, but I can still see a difference in the older face photos and the current ones. 🙂
